A Political Poem/Song

[Druidus]

`Sung to the tune of "If you're happy and you know it"~

~Bomb Iraq!~

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 dissed 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's all the proof I need,
Bomb Iraq!

If you never were elected, Bomb Iraq!
If your need 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 manhoods getting queasy,
Bomb Iraq!

Fall in line and follow orders, Bomb Iraq!
For our might knows not it's 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!

Mind if I add one instead of starting an entirely new thread?

Didn't know I was unAmerican for choosing to give a damn
Or unpatriotic for daring to take a stand for what I believe in
Looks like freedom to me... Expressions of liberty
Wanting Our America to be a responsible Hegemony

Didn't know I was a communist for wanting to share the wealth
It doesn't take an economist to measure the cost of health
And What I believe in... looks like Heaven to me
One human Family, where everybody's got enough to eat, and something warm to cover their feet

Didn't know I'd be labeled a terrorist for daring to speak my mind
It's becoming more precarious for failing to toe the line
And What I believe in... sounds like freedom to me...
Like the sons of liberty in 1773, dumping 45 tonnes of tea

Didn't know I was in the minority of people who love the earth
I hope it becomes a priority before it gets any worse
And what I believe in... looks like heaven to me
Where angels take the shape of the trees, giving us clean air to breathe, from the rivers to the mountains and seas...

Didn't know I hated my country for acknowledging the truth
This war is despicable profiteering at the expense of our youth
And what I believe in... looks like Heaven to me
With all of humanity living as community, in relative harmony

I know it's just a song... but if the whole world sang along
How much longer would it be this way?

Sorry, if I stole any of your thunder, I've just been positively dying to post that somewhere... I love that song.
