Let me tell you a storyAbout NebuchadnezzarHe spared no expenseTo build his palace of pleasure He filled his cityWith blue and goldOne of the world's great wondersHerodotus told He built hanging gardensAnd a tall towerA testamentTo his great strengthAnd raw power First came the PersiansThen came the GreeksThen came Saddam HusseinThen George W. speaks Once it held treasuresOne of history's peaksNow you'll find them on eBaySold as antiques! Suffering and deathI'm sure we deploreBut men are not the onlyVictims of war
