The Lyrics
If you're like most Americans these days, you're probably sick of the conflict in Iraq and its gruesome consequences (both here and abroad). I figured a protest song that dragged on forever would make the point best...*smiles grimly*
This is the war that doesn't end--
yes, it goes on and on, my friend.
Our people started fighting it,
not knowing what it was;
and they've come home in body bags,
cadavers just because
This is the war that doesn't end--
no, we've got crude oil to defend.
Some countries wouldn't fight with us,
they all knew what it was;
we'll get no help to pull ourselves
together just because
This is the war that doesn't end--
another Vietnam, my friend.
Though Bush's popularity
is higher than it was,
we're stuck with trillion-dollar debt
forever just because
This is the war that doesn't end...
yes, it goes on and on, my friend.
Our people started fighting it,
not knowing what it was;
and they've come home in body bags,
cadavers just because
This is the war that doesn't end--
no, we've got crude oil to defend.
Some countries wouldn't fight with us,
they all knew what it was;
we'll get no help to pull ourselves
together just because
This is the war that doesn't end--
another Vietnam, my friend.
Though Bush's popularity
is higher than it was,
we're stuck with trillion-dollar debt
forever just because
This is the war that doesn't end...

Yes! I did this song also. Great take on it.
This is very clever. 555
You forgot to add "Repeat Ad Nauseum"! :) 555
Amen!
Clever concept.
Very interesting- pacing off just two lines in the middle stanza "Some countries wouldn't fight with us, they all knew what it was;"
