Urge To Surge
South Florida Raging Grannies


The Urge to Surge
(Tune: "99 Bottles of Beer" or "Brownie Smile Song")
Lyrics by Laureen Martin (Port Townsend) and
Vicki Ryder (Rochester/South Florida), 2007


Here's the way that George explains our mission in Iraq:
"They tried to kill my daddy so I had to hit them back.
There's something about Sunnis, and Shi'as and some Kurds…
It's much too complicated but I got an urge to surge!"

He's got an urge to surge, oh yeah,
He's got an urge to surge,
It's just some more of the same manure.
He's got an urge to surge.

They tell him troops are dying there, the numbers they just grow,
So here's his policy on that: He just don't wanna know.
They're dying by the thousands but he doesn't keep the score.
His plan is: If it doesn't work, just do it more and more.

Just do it more and more, oh yeah,
Just do it more and more.
It's just some more of the same manure.
Just do it more and more.

For standing up and challenging his reasons for the war,
George says that some in uniform are rotten to the core.
And anyone who questions him, he just flips them the bird,
'Cause he is the Decider and he's got an urge to surge.

He's got an urge to surge, oh yeah,
He's got an urge to surge,
It's just some more of the same manure
He's got an urge to surge.

We grannies sure are raging, we've urges of our own,
But here's the thing that we all sing:
Let's bring our troops back home!

Let's bring our troops back home, oh yeah,
Let's bring our troops back home!
We'll take no more of this manure,
Let's bring our troops back home!
