Since '89.
The fall of that almighty Wall.
(That Wall stood so tall.)
(It's been so galling.)
It's been so galling to crawl.
Where once, he led recruitin'.
(With oil gushin')
The repercussion of his wait.
(Crushin' Russian fate)
like Peter the Great.
Oh, he showed balls of brass.
Put the Ras- back in Putin.
 
By his leavin'.
(Leavin'.)
For that midnight raid on Georgia.
(Leavin' for that midnight raid.)
To the lands he stole.
(Desire for the goal.)
Of an empire to control.
(Blazing with the memory.)
(The good old days at the KGB.)
We kind of folded.
(You know we did.)
In that midnight raid on Georgia.
(Grievin' 'bout the midnight raid on Georgia.)
 (ka-boom!)
And we can only cajole.
(Ask any mole.)
From our Republican hole.
(Our hole is droll, Bush saw Putin's soul.)
 
Putin knows it.
(Shows it.)
It's how he rose so fast and far.
(A rising star, gonna be the next tsar.)
When we chose Baghdad to bag,
That quagmires drag on at a price.
(Quagmires drag at a price.)
(not nice.)
(ask the Vice)
Now our only way to feud.
(This is not shrewd.)
Is bluster and send some food.
(Dude, we're so screwed.)
Thought the Cold War was on ice.
Now we have to think twice.
And get a clue.
 
With Putin leavin'.
(Leavin'.)
For that midnight raid on Georgia.
(Leavin' for that midnight raid.)
To the lands he stole.
(Desire for the goal.)
Of an empire to control.
(Stockin' up for the raucouses.)
(Rockin' in the Caucasus.)
We kind of folded.
(You know we did.)
In that midnight raid on Georgia.
(Grievin' 'bout the midnight raid on Georgia.)
(ka-boom!)
And we can only cajole.
(Ask any mole.)
From our Republican hole.
(Our hole is droll, Bush saw Putin's soul.)
 
Tblisi's state.
It took the bait.
To instigate.
(The midnight raid on Georgia.)
 
NATO a blur.
This could recur.
Did not deter.
(The midnight raid he paid.)
 
His gain.
(To invade.)
Our pain.
(Not OK'd.)
New bane: Ukraine.
(The midnight raid he paid.)
 
His flukes.
(Be afraid.)
His spooks.
(Custom-made.)
His nukes.
Gadzooks!
(The midnight raid he paid.)
(The midnight raid he paid.)
