Iraq Protest Song

Let's all start singin' (Apologies to Country Joe and the Fish)

Yeah, come on all of you big strong men,
Uncle Sam needs your help again.
He's got himself in a terrible crock
Over in the desert, out in Iraq
So put down your books and pick up a gun,
We're gonna have a whole lotta fun.

Well, come on Wall Street, don't move slow,
Why man, this is War-a-go-go.
There's plenty good money to be made
By supplying the Army with the tools of the trade,
Shares are good in Otto Bock*
Lots o' lost limbs over in Iraq

And it's one, two, three,
What are we fighting for?
Don't ask me, it's just so sad,
Next stop is ol' Bagdad.
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee! We're all gonna die.

Well, come on mothers, so his arm is a hook?
Pack your boys off to Kirkuk.
Come on fathers, don't hesitate,
Send `em off before it's too late.
Be the first one on your block
To have your boy come home in a box.

*Otto Bock is the global leader in developing and manufacturing
innovative prosthetic technologies and devices.
