No Blackwater
Abu Graibh (To the tune of China Grove – The Doobie Brothers)


As the sun beats down
There is no one else around
In his box he’s alone
Fearing what surprises are to come his way
In the catacombs

Awful the inflicted pain
The procession of the shames

(ch)
In the darkness of Abu Graibh
Your grave, Abu Graibh

What were people now are puppets
Pain driven robots
Torture the monotone
And to stop it you’ll provide
Another’s hide
To the devil’s no-win zone

Cast off alone just to find
They’ve just taken your mind

(ch)

After they can do more to you
You’re sent to reality confused
Memories haunt as you struggle to hang on
All you can hear are the screams in the night

Know you’re a part of a great mistke
A victim of greed and fear
Just more fodder fed into the beast

(repeat ch and fade)

1. That's depressing - but spot on
You're prolific, I can't keep up

:hug:

What's that song that goes "clowns to the left of me jokers to the right, here I am stuck in the middle with you?" Can you do a parody on that, or do the words not need changing ? ;)

2. Stealer's Wheel!
Stuck in the middle with you, an all time favorite song of mine. Consider it ruined :rofl:

I had a hard time with this, because China Grove is such an upbeat song, and going as far away as possible from upbeat was quite a challenge.

Prolific? Moi? More like amatuerlific ;)

:hug: :pals:
