The Lyrics

If you're like most Americans these days, you're probably sick of the conflict in Iraq and its gruesome consequences (both here and abroad). I figured a protest song that dragged on forever would make the point best...*smiles grimly*
This is the war that doesn't end--
yes, it goes on and on, my friend.
Our people started fighting it,
not knowing what it was;
and they've come home in body bags,
cadavers just because

This is the war that doesn't end--
no, we've got crude oil to defend.
Some countries wouldn't fight with us,
they all knew what it was;
we'll get no help to pull ourselves
together just because

This is the war that doesn't end--
another Vietnam, my friend.
Though Bush's popularity
is higher than it was,
we're stuck with trillion-dollar debt
forever just because

This is the war that doesn't end...

Very interesting- pacing off just two lines in the middle stanza "Some countries wouldn't fight with us, they all knew what it was;"
