The Gulf War Song, by Moxy Früvous
We got a call to write a song about the war in the Gulf
So we tried---Then gave up
What makes a person so poisonous, righteous
She's just a pacifist
Fighters for liberty
And history seems to agree
So we read, and we watched
What could we say? We're only twenty-five years old,
Fighters for Texaco
And history seems to agree
He's just a peacenik and she's just a warhawk
What could we say? We're only twenty-five years old,
But we shouldn't hurt anyone's feelings...
'Cause there was no such song
But the trying was very revealing
That they think less of anyone who just disagreed?
He's just a patriot
If I said you were crazy, would you have to fight me?
Fighters for power
Fighters for longer turns in the shower
Don't tell me I can't fight, 'cause I'll punch out your lights...!
That I would fight you for me.
All the specially selected news
And we learned so much more about the "good guys."
"Won't you stand by the flag?"
Was the question unasked,
"Won't you join in and fight with the allies?"
With twenty-five sweet summers
And hot fires in the cold.
This kind of life makes that violence unthinkable
We'd like to play hockey, have kids and grow old...
Fighters for power
Fighters for longer turns in the shower
Don't tell me I can't fight, 'cause I'll punch out your lights...!
That I would fight you for me
That us would fight them for we!
That's where the beach was
That's where the sea...
And history seems to agree
That I would fight you for me
That us would fight them for we...
Is that how it always will be?
