Anti-Iraq War Song

[PatrioticLeftie]

Here's a rough parody of "16 Tons". Feel free to suggest changes.


Some people say the rich were made up above
The poor men were made here outta' muscle and blood
The president had no skin or bones
He had a mind that's a-weak and a-head made of straw

You go to war in Iraq, what do ya get?
Less world respect and deeper deficit
President Bush, can I go?
This war is illegal an’ everyone knows

I was shipped one mornin' an’ was feelin’ fine
Till I picked up my rifle an’ I crossed the line
Was shot sixteen times an’ I wanna go home
But Rumsfeld said, "Well, it’s your own damn fault"

You go to war in Iraq, what do ya get?
Less world respect and deeper deficit
President Bush, can I go?
This war is illegal an’ everyone knows

I woke one mornin', in an awful pain
Fightin’ my troubles were never the same
I was raised in the slums by poor mama sighin’
Couldn’t go to school no matter how hard we’re tryin’

You go to war in Iraq, what do ya get?
Less world respect and deeper deficit
President Bush, can I go?
This war is illegal an’ everyone knows

The WMDs, we tried to find
A lotta men didn't, a lot of ‘em died
Some people’ll hurt ya; the others’ll steal
The right wing won’ help ya, but the left one will

You go to war in Iraq, what do ya get?
Less world respect and deeper deficit
President Bush, can I go?
This war is illegal an’ everyone knows
