AN ODD KIND OF ULTIMATUM
Les Barker

I said in my dossier you have arms. I've not said where they are, but I know.
At no time have I ever given proof. The mere fact I have said it proves it's so.

The onus of proof lies with you. Show me the arms you have not got.
The ones that your dossier says you haven't. We need to know precisely where they're not.

The inspectors haven't found the ones you have, the ones we know you have, they think perhaps.
We don't know where they are or if you have them, but Tony Blair and I are honest chaps.

Show me all those arms of mass destruction. You may have noticed mine are on display.
It's an evil man who hides even the ones he hasn't got, so get them out, or I'll blow you away.

Perhaps one day we'll find you were unarmed, that the arms you don't possess, you don't possess.
That's just the kind of dirty trick you'd pull, and you've an awful lot of oil, but I digress.

Show me your bubonic plague. Get out the anthrax as well.
Remember, you got them from me, so I know you're guilty as hell.

To own such armaments as mine is forbidden. All those things you don't have, I have more.
Show me where what you've not got's been hidden, or in the name of peace, I'm going to go to war.
