My Country Went to War
Sung to "My Country Tis of Thee"

by Justis Suffram

“My Country Went To War”
(sung to “My Country ‘Tis of the Thee”)

My country went to war

Just to please Cheney’s whore

- Hal-i-bur-ton.

Out near the Euphrates

Destroy antiquities

And murder everyone you please

Oh, don’t forget the oil.

 

My country lied to me

But it won’t cop a plea

We’ll stay the course.

Bomb them until they’re free

We’ll win their liberty

As for our own economy

Well to hell with that.

 

George Bush is really bad,

Worst that we’ve ever had

Don’t you agree?

Lies and incompetence

Fear-mong’ring, insolence

Compassionate conservatence

Means the rich soak thee.

 

Rumsfeld, Feith, Wolfowitz

Gonzalez joins the blitz

Need I say more?

Cheney and Condi Rice

Creates a team of vice

Now everyone can pay the price

For their stupid war.

 

Iran is next they say

‘Cause they stand in the way

Of Caspian dreams.

Bush will say that he sees

Mullahs who will unfreeze

“Nukular” capabilities

Which we must destroy.

 

While we’re engaged in that

Korea won’t stand pat

Waiting their turn.

They’ll launch a nuke or two

Aim them at Malibu

Dubya might even let them through

Make the lib’rals burn.

 

My country started war

Blame it on Bush v. Gore

Who could have known?

If Al had won that case

We’d not be in this place

Fearing for the human race

From the seeds we’ve sown.

Peace, love, end the Bush Administration
