WHITEWASH (Lennon-McCartney
arr. Stupidt-Kay)
You say you want investigation
We-e-ell you know
We-all aint done nuthin' wrong
You tell me that it's fabrication
We-e-ell you know
We really haven't done nuthin' wrong
-and Lord Hutton sez so, there!
But when you talk about Mass Destruction
Don't you know that they were counted out
- in Ninety one or two
Don't you know it's gonna BE WHITEWASH
Don't you know it's gonna BE WHITEWASH,
Yeah.
You say that 45 Minute problem
Wont go-o away
We say that headlines in the paper don't matter
We just follow Uncle Sam
But if you want Oil for people with minds that hate
All I can tell is brother you're way too late
Don't you know it's gonna BE WHITEWASH
Don't you know it's gonna BE WHITEWASH, yeah
- There'll be another inquiry along in a minute
You say you'll change the Institution
We-e-ell you know
We all wanna change your heads
You tell me that WE used Depleted Uranium
We-e-ell you know
What's a few hundred more Iraqi dead?
But you go on carryin' pictures of the Enron Cow
You aint gonna make it with us no-how
Don't you know it's gonna BE WHITEWASH
Don't you know it's gonna BE WHITEWASH, Yeah.
You say you got a real solution
Yea-e-eah we know
And Lord Butler is his name
He's come to all the right conclusions
Yea-e-eah we know
But no one in the Gov'ment takes the blame
So when you talk about Mass Destruction
Don't you know that they were counted out
- in Ninety one or two?
Don't you know it's gonna BE WHITEWASH
Don't you know it's gonna BE-HE-HE
WHITEWASH, Yeah.
Whitewash, whitewash ect. (and fade)

YOU CANT DO THAT II (Lennon-McCartney/Stupidt)
I got something to sat that might cause you pain
If I catch you “Liberating” Iraq again
I'm gonna let you down (let you down)
And leave you flat (gonna let you down and
leave you flat)
Coz I told you before, ah; you cant do that
Now it's the second time I caught you
Insider dealing
If I have to tell you one more time
I think it's a sin
Gonna knock you down, [You bloody cheat]; (knock
you down)
And leave you flat (gonna knock you down and
leave you flat)
Because I told you before, ah; you cant do that
Ev'rybody's green, coz you're the one who's
got the oil
But if they'd see-een
the real dossier, they'd laugh in your face
So, please listen to me if you wanna stay prez,
Get hold of Sharon, start wearin' a fez
Or I'm gonna knock you down (knock you down)
And leave you flat (gonna knock you down and
leave you flat)
Coz I told you before, you cant do that
Ev'rybody's green, coz you're the one who's
Got the oil
But if they'd seen the WMD'S they say
'Made in Mississippi'
So, please listen to me if you wanna stay prez,
Get hold of Sharon, start wearin' a fez
Coz I'm gonna knock you down (knock you down)
And leave you flat (gonna knock you down and
leave you flat) broke
Coz I told you before, ah, YOU CANT DO THAT.

Set. Rep. Blues (original, Politicians) - as sung on tape
You never get a sensible answer
From a Po-li-tician
You never ge-e-et
Sensible answers from a po-o-o-li-tic-ian
All they ever do
Is justify themselves
From a previously-established position
All they ever do
Is justify themselves
From the previously-established
Establishment Position
All you really gotta do
Is watch “Yes, Prime Minister”
Coz they gave 'em all a medal
So it must be true
All the stuff that they do –
Thatcher loved the programme
Thatcher's favourite show
You never get…..sensible answer
From a po-li-tician
We have to combat terrorism
We have to stop
The Al-Qaeda crew
We have to get rid of
The weapons of mass destruction –
Who holds the weapons of mass destruction?
(yes, that's right folks) We do
The biggest sponsors of Al-Qaeda
Are Saudi Arabia and Pakistan too
So we're gonna get Saudi
(a feudally fundamentalist barbaric kingdom)
And we're gonna topple the
fascist-military-dictatorship
of Pakistan too.
(speaks)
I don't think so, do you?
Coz of the Oil, you see
It's all about the Oil.
And the international alliance- and cupcakes,
Evil empire, axis of evil, axes your taxes
(-if you're rich- if you're poor it's out the door)
- which has bombed Afghanistan
back to the Stone Age
(And left the warring tribes alone
To do what they do
(Heroin poppies mainly and
rape, torture, pillage etc.))
Nice one, chaps.
Meanwhile, back in Iraq….
….(goes into Get Back, 91)
Saddam was a man who knew
He was a bastard, but he done it, anyway
…Saddam left his home in Takrit by the river
For some black Kuwaiti gold
Get Back, Get back, get back to
Where you once belonged…
….We've been fighting Saddam
For thirteen years
We've been bombing him
Every day too
We've been denying his people
Their basic medicines too
We've been using Iraq
As a real-time war-game.
For THIRTEEN YEARS
We've been stoking up
ARMAGEDDON.
We shall reap the WHIRLWIND, too.
Who's next? – Syria, Iran, North Korea,
My Uncle Stan?
(speaks) “Personally, armageddin tired of
all this war stuff,
don't know about you
Come to London Feb. 15th
Whenever or wherever it occurs,
Go in the middle of your town in the rush hour
And sit down, stop the traffic
Fill in the form in the Daily Mirror
And tell Uncle Tony where to go
(Write to your M.P,
Tell them to stop the war
ALL the bloody war)
Jaw, jaw not war, war – as
Winston said. “All WE are saying is….
Is give peace a chance, all we are saying…”
..”When's the band coming on?”
(Oh.. disco is it? O.k.”)
