Bomb Iraq! Song
Version 1.0
Sung to the tune of "If yer happy and ya know it clap yer hands" (to be performed with merriment and gusto):
Seems we somehow missed Osama, bomb Iraq
Falling markets hurt my Mama, bomb Iraq
Though the terrorists were Saudi
Other "evidence" is cloudy
Hey, I'm Texan! I'm a rowdy! Bomb Iraq!
Well the corporate scandal's growin, bomb Iraq
And our links to them are showin, bomb Iraq
If that smokin gun ain't smokin
We don't care (and we ain't jokin)
Lots of citizens be croakin, bomb Iraq
Though the danger is abating, bomb Iraq
Though Saddam's cooperating, bomb Iraq
Oh, to heck with those inspections!
March in step! Follow directions!
We've got upcoming elections! Bomb Iraq!
Though our thinkin's kinda hazy, bomb Iraq
Though our allies think we're crazy, bomb Iraq
Know what sticks right in my craw?
So-called "international law"
Hey! It didn't stop my pa! Bomb Iraq!
Oil supplies are gettin tighter, bomb Iraq
World reserves are gettin lighter, bomb Iraq
Sun and wind is all the talk
But I don't own any stock
So it's off to war we flock, bomb Iraq
Now they say the globe is warmin, bomb Iraq
Rising rates of global stormin, bomb Iraq
What? The ozone hole is growin?
Some things I prefer not knowin
Got that ol momentum flowin! Bomb Iraq!
So here's one fer dear ol daddy, bomb Iraq
From his favorite little laddy, bomb Iraq
Though we can't think of a reason
Standing down just seems like treason
Hey! It's people-hunting season! Bomb Iraq!
Bomb Iraq! Song
Version 2.0
Sung to the tune of "If you're happy and you know it... "
If you cannot find Osama, bomb Iraq.
If the markets are a drama, bomb Iraq.
If the terrorists are frisky,
Pakistan is looking shifty,
North Korea is too risky,
Bomb Iraq.
If we have no allies with us, bomb Iraq.
If we think someone has pissed us, bomb Iraq.
So to hell with the inspections,
Let's look tough for the elections,
Close your mind and take directions,
Bomb Iraq.
It's "pre-emptive non-aggression", bomb Iraq.
Let's prevent this mass destruction, bomb Iraq.
They've got weapons we can't see,
And that's good enough for me
'Cos it'all the proof I need
Bomb Iraq.
If you never were elected, bomb Iraq.
If your mood is quite dejected, bomb Iraq.
If you think Saddam's gone mad,
With the weapons that he had,
(And he tried to kill your dad),
Bomb Iraq.
If your corporate fraud is growin', bomb Iraq.
If your ties to it are showin', bomb Iraq.
If your politics are sleazy,
And hiding that ain't easy,
And your manhood's getting queasy,
Bomb Iraq.
Fall in line and follow orders, bomb Iraq.
For our might knows not our borders, bomb Iraq.
Disagree? We'll call it treason,
Let's make war not love this season,
Even if we have no reason,
Bomb Iraq.
Peace Hymn of the Republic
By Toomas Karmo
Sung to the tune of 'Battle Hymn of the Republic'
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord:/
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;/
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword:/
His truth is marching on.
Glory, glory, hallelujah!/
Glory, glory, hallelujah!/
Glory, glory, hallelujah;/
His truth is marching on.
We lived in ease and splendor and disdained the huddled poor,/
Raping soils and seas and foreign skies, in arms and gold secure:/
Now we've lost our proud twin towers, now we fear the dark of war;/
God's truth goes marching on.
Glory, glory, hallelujah!/
Glory, glory, hallelujah!/
Glory, glory, hallelujah;/
God's truth goes marching on.
Unhappy world, you grieve for us, and yet for you we mourn;/
Some billion souls seek sustenance, a tithing of our corn:/
From dying fields, from teeming slums, fresh terrors will be born -/
Can truth go marching on?
Glory, glory, hallelujah!/
Glory, glory, hallelujah!/
Glory, glory, hallelujah;/
Can truth go marching on?
((TEMPO="SLOW"))
Our strength lies not in battle gear but in humility;/
Through anguished meditation we discern our destiny:/
Our city on a hilltop shall embrace humanity;/
God's truth shall lead us on.
Glory, glory, hallelujah!/
Glory, glory, hallelujah!/
Glory, glory, hallelujah;/
God's truth shall lead us on.
