The Lyrics
Looking Out my Shanty House Window.
All around the troops in the city running by,
I sing to my daughter a Lullaby
Saturday, the forces are coming
I hear the tanks as the're drumming far away.
I decide to look the other way
In Baghdad Sadam is losing
Iraq are taking a bruising
We're the people of Basra
We're the people of Basra
Everybody is living in Poverty Now.
The Television's are stopping
Becausing the Jet's are all dropping
their Bomb's below
I cannot leave now there's nowhere to go.
Gun Shots cause my family problems
And outside all that I hear is "Watch That Mine!"
That goddamn Phrase is said here all the Time
Saddam was yesterday's Story
Intruders take all the Glory
We're the people of Basra
We're the people of Basra
Everybody is living in Poverty Now.
Come closer Saddam that's better
Got to get my First kill in the war
Oh what the F##k
I grab him by the neck He tries to duck
Now a new Governments Reigning
And British troops are now saving Everyone
I don't want to die crazy
Kuwait, Iran or Iraq
Never send saddam Back
We're the people of Basra
We're the people of Basra
Everybody is living in Luxury Now.
We're the Peeps
We're the Peeps
We're the Peeps of Basra
All around the troops in the city running by,
I sing to my daughter a Lullaby
Saturday, the forces are coming
I hear the tanks as the're drumming far away.
I decide to look the other way
In Baghdad Sadam is losing
Iraq are taking a bruising
We're the people of Basra
We're the people of Basra
Everybody is living in Poverty Now.
The Television's are stopping
Becausing the Jet's are all dropping
their Bomb's below
I cannot leave now there's nowhere to go.
Gun Shots cause my family problems
And outside all that I hear is "Watch That Mine!"
That goddamn Phrase is said here all the Time
Saddam was yesterday's Story
Intruders take all the Glory
We're the people of Basra
We're the people of Basra
Everybody is living in Poverty Now.
Come closer Saddam that's better
Got to get my First kill in the war
Oh what the F##k
I grab him by the neck He tries to duck
Now a new Governments Reigning
And British troops are now saving Everyone
I don't want to die crazy
Kuwait, Iran or Iraq
Never send saddam Back
We're the people of Basra
We're the people of Basra
Everybody is living in Luxury Now.
We're the Peeps
We're the Peeps
We're the Peeps of Basra

geez that sucked
That was a funny parody, although based upon current events about the war. However, pacing needs a little work, but otherwise its good. Lyrics made enough sense. Instead of "becausing", use "because of". It's just a suggestion. I hope that Saddam Hussein does get eliminated soon.
