Now the Americans are there;
they're there now, those Americans;
so those Americans can't leave there now;
not now,
because those Americans are there now.

Though before,
before those Americans got there,
those Americans were not there before.

But they can't leave now; they're there now.

Even though there, now,
things are much worse there now
than things were there before now.

Still the Americans can't leave;
even though things are so much worse there now
than all those things were there before,
still, the Americans must stand still,
must not leave there now.

No, that would be like switching horses in midstream.

That can't be done, should not be done,
switching horses in midstream
means switching horses in the middle of a flowing stream,
and in the middle of a flowing stream
is where the midstream's deepest part flows by,
is where the drowning is most likely there to be.

Americans do not switch horses in midstream,
when in midstream they sit astride
because when there, they're there,
and do not want to leave there then.

The Americans didn't switch away from Bush
when Bush was looking down so bushed
when Bush was running for his second term
The Americans looked at Bush
and they saw Bush
and they heard Bush say "Don't switch horses in midstream"

Bush was there then, for the Americans;
and so the Americans stood still,
standing patly looking up at Bush,
not seeing Bush was so very bushed.

The Americans said "Bush is there now,
can't make Bush leave now,
can't bend Bush and make Bush lean and make Bush leave.
No, Bush is still there now
just like the Americans are still there now too.

Can't leave now,
even though things are so much worse now,
even though things there were so much better before,
still can't leave now.

Why, if the Americans leave now,
things there now might get much worse
than things there now are with the Americans there now.

"Can't switch horses in midstream"

But what if the horse is a nag?
What if the horse in that midstream is just a nag,
a nasty nag, a nagging neighing nag?

In fact, what if that horse that is a nag,
is not a nag at all?

What if the nag is a hag,
a nasty neighing nagging old hag that nags?

What if you are riding that nagging nag of a hag?

What if that nasty nag is nagging you in midstream?

Would you switch nags in midstream then?

There you are, astride that nag,
and that nag is nagging you
and you're there now, in midstream,
and the nag is neighing
and the hag is braying like a mule
and the hag is a muling braying nag.

How you gonna fix that,
without you switching nags in that midstream?

You could come up with some bdsm ideas,
you could say you got you a bad bdsm idea,
an idea how you can fix that nag,
that braying mulish nag of a hag
that just never shuts up around you.

You could take your strong hand,
you could lift your strong hand,
you could put your strong hand
right up against the facial cheek
of that nagging neighing nag
and there you could wait.

You could stand there waiting
for that nag to neigh a real loud bray
and then with your strong hand
you could bitch-slap that nag
right across the trembling facial cheek
of that braying neighing nag
you could put your strong hand
real quick, and very slick,
like a little lick of thunder
thunderously alighting down upon the skin
upon the trembling facial cheek of that naggy old hag

And then you could stand there now,
for now, as you stand there now,
the naggy old nag is not nagging,
is not braying,
is not neighing,
that old nag is silent there,
as you stand there,
silent there beside that nag.

Then you could say,
as you stand there now,
that which the Americans said of Bush,
and that which the Americans are saying now,
"don't have to switch no horses in midstream".

Just like those Americans that are there now,
even though things are much worse now
than things were there before,
you could stand there now,
thinking things are so much better now.

You could even call all your friends to come on over,
call your family, to come on over,
call the nag's familiars, to come on over,
have them come for tea, for supper, and for schnapps
and serve some other snappy drinks like that.

And you could say, "I got the solution".
And you could say, "I didn't have to switch nags in midstream".

All your friends are standing there now,
now all your family's there now too
and all the nag's familiars's friends and relatives
are there now too with you
all come on over
thinking to hear the nag's familiar brays and nags
snapping up at you,

But you just stand there with your strong hand
with your strong paw
with the fingers of your paw like hand
strongly poised right there
at the facial trembling cheek of that nag

And you say, "Watch this".

And then right there now your strong hand
and your strong paw
and the fingers of your paw like hand
poisedly and strongly strike right there
now, at the facial trembling cheek of that nag.

Like thunder gone seeking other climes
the nag's brays stray
forever for that moment there now
into that silence there now
that silence around you.there now.

"See," you say "Same nag, but no nagging now"

That's pretty much the same thing the Americans have done and are doing to Iraq.
The Americans are doing that right now in and on Iraq.
Iraq brays, the Americans slap down.
Iraq neighs, the Americans slap down.
Iraq nags, the Americans slap down.

But you're friends and your relatives
and your other familiars of all kinds
are gonna tell you "Why you can't do that".

"You can't go around bitch-slapping a nag like that,
not all day, not every day,
not every hour and every twenty minutes too"

They're gonna convince you that
maybe switching horses and nags in midstream
might be the better thing to do
