The Lyrics
Not much in humour stakes, but I really felt that I should write this.
SOLDIERS
“Go be a hero.”
With all this mindless crime?
Behind a curtain.
In this pantomime.
On and on.
Does anybody know what we are fighting for?
Whatever truth is,
it doesn’t stand a chance.
While all the glass breaks.
Each diplomatic dance.
On and on.
Does anybody know what we are dieing for?
The war still goes on.
The war still goes on.
Outside the sun rising
on the sands that hold P.O.T.U.S.’ destiny.
The war still goes on.
The war still goes on.
BUSH
All chaos is out-breaking.
My grip on power’s shaking.
But the death still goes on.
I’ll pass the bill
to aid the kill,
ALL
though no one has the will to carry…
on with the…
on with the …
on with the show.
ON WITH THE SHOW!
ON WITH THE SHOW!
THE SHOW MUST…
THE SHOW MUST GO ON!
“Go be a hero.”
With all this mindless crime?
Behind a curtain.
In this pantomime.
On and on.
Does anybody know what we are fighting for?
Whatever truth is,
it doesn’t stand a chance.
While all the glass breaks.
Each diplomatic dance.
On and on.
Does anybody know what we are dieing for?
The war still goes on.
The war still goes on.
Outside the sun rising
on the sands that hold P.O.T.U.S.’ destiny.
The war still goes on.
The war still goes on.
BUSH
All chaos is out-breaking.
My grip on power’s shaking.
But the death still goes on.
I’ll pass the bill
to aid the kill,
ALL
though no one has the will to carry…
on with the…
on with the …
on with the show.
ON WITH THE SHOW!
ON WITH THE SHOW!
THE SHOW MUST…
THE SHOW MUST GO ON!

Dark stuff, ISTA...but very well written, and thought-provoking. 555
Doesn't always have to be haha... Serious social satire is a time-honored tradition (that isn't "dying"). 555
DKTOS, but outstanding. No vote because I don't know the original song, but the Capital Steps should record this. I hate King George, and I'm voting for Obama unless Stephen Colbert runs, then I'll vote for him.
Thanks everyone. Your comments are always appreciated
No, you're not right, you're left, which is correct. Here's five days' worth of R & R.
