We just won’t call it civil war

Civil War (To the tune of Evil Ways – Santana)

We just won’t call it civil war, maybe
Our lapdogs in the press won’t too
Though every day they’re killing more, still we
Never let on there was any clue

That there’d be Shias and Sunnis, grudges reborn
Though all the warnings were greeted with nothing but scorn
It’s all gone wrong
Let’s find someone to blame

In Dubya’s mind, you’ll see
The lights are on and there’s no one home
He claims high ground, though he
Cannot define human dignity

Now they want torture and spying legal to do
And if you say no they’ll brand you a terrorist too
Orwell was wrong, only about what year

Now every day, bodies
Litter the streets all across Iraq
Civil it ain’t, just bloody
Godsdammit I want my country back

The one that would not condone what’s been done in our name
Or let it’s young men and women keep dying in vain
Staying no course yeah yeah yeah

5. outstanding

Surely there must be that tune out there in karoeke land.. on the internet,
and surely your PC has a microphone buried in a box somewhere like mine own,
then you could actually record that and post the song?

People have learned how to post photographs to DU easily, is posting a sound
as easy?

8. For a technomoron like myself, hardly

I've sent the lyrics to a coupla radio shows but have not heard a thing back. Alas.

Once the current work madness has been resolved, I'll look into it more, but needs draw my energies elsewhere. :shrug:

11. Thanks, SalmonChantedEvening

I have been posting here until I am blue in the face that all of us must stop using the misleading phrase "the war in Iraq". It is only the "civil war in Iraq".

Thanks. I like your tune.
