The Lyrics
Suicide Cars on a mission,
Spilling more blood in Iraq
Killing Them Awf'lly with their bombs,
Killing Them Awf'lly on the street,
Shocking the whole world with their deeds,
Killing Them Awf'lly in Iraq
Are we enforcing freedom,
As body bags are filled?
How do we define freedom,
Be free, or else be killed?
Day after day, unending,
How many more must die?
Suicide cars on a mission,
Spilling more blood in Iraq
Killing Them Awf'lly with their bombs,
Killing Them Awf'lly on the street,
Shocking the whole world with their deeds
Killing Them Awf'lly in Iraq
Now the big push for Falluja,
So many stand in the way
How many troops and civilians
Won't see another day?
Time after time, it happens,
When will the killing end?
Suicide cars on a mission,
Spilling more blood in Iraq
Killing Them Awf'lly with their bombs,
Killing Them Awf'lly on the street,
Shocking the whole world with their deeds
Killing Them Awf'lly in Iraq
Killing Them Awf'lly......
Spilling more blood in Iraq
Killing Them Awf'lly with their bombs,
Killing Them Awf'lly on the street,
Shocking the whole world with their deeds,
Killing Them Awf'lly in Iraq
Are we enforcing freedom,
As body bags are filled?
How do we define freedom,
Be free, or else be killed?
Day after day, unending,
How many more must die?
Suicide cars on a mission,
Spilling more blood in Iraq
Killing Them Awf'lly with their bombs,
Killing Them Awf'lly on the street,
Shocking the whole world with their deeds
Killing Them Awf'lly in Iraq
Now the big push for Falluja,
So many stand in the way
How many troops and civilians
Won't see another day?
Time after time, it happens,
When will the killing end?
Suicide cars on a mission,
Spilling more blood in Iraq
Killing Them Awf'lly with their bombs,
Killing Them Awf'lly on the street,
Shocking the whole world with their deeds
Killing Them Awf'lly in Iraq
Killing Them Awf'lly......

Good job, AFW. Not funny, but since you'll probably get slammed on that voting category later, I'll spot you a 5 for a buffer there.
"Killing Me Softly" is by Roberta Flack.
the "funny" vote should be changed to "funny or thoughtful"..5s
My thoughts exactly, JD.
5's . I bet I'm not the only one who noticed the escalation of fighting came after the election....
Wonderful job on a terrible subject, AF. I also love that you chose thig song - it's really fitting. And great comment by Dee.
Thanks all for comments and votes... These cops are harassing me...If you check the web..you'll find that Aretha also recorded it......
AFW - going by this do you think you might one day become AFL? - my 5s are for quality
If you say Aretha also performed this song, I believe you...but when did she do it?
