A DAY IN THE DEATH
Tune: A Day in the Life (Beatles)
I read the news today OOOOOOOOOOOOY VEY!
About a lucky Prez who stole the Parade
And tho the news was rather sad
Well I just had to laugh
Looking at the comic photograph.
He blew Saddam's brain out in a fallout shelter
But he didn't notice that the world hadn't changed
A crowd of allies stood and stared
They'd seen that war before
Nobody was really sure that it would cure
The poor world's deathly sore.
I watched TV again tonight Oh Boy
The US Army had just won the war [spoken]: What again?
A crowd of women turned away
But I just had to look
Having just read Chomsky's lovely book
And Oh...We'd love to tur-er-er-er-ern All Wars off.
Undressed and went to bed
Dragged a black sheet over my head
Found the bottle and slugged a shot
Spied Atomic Clock and saw that it was late
Popped some pills and then prayed a lot
And then Gore Vidal spoke and he went into a SCREEEAM!
I dread the news again this morn Oh Goys
4000 new terrorists in Arabia and Detroit
And tho their bombs were kinda small
I knew that they were gonna throw them all
And soon we'll know how many germs it takes
To fill the great Johns Hopkins H-O-S-P-T-A-LL
Oh we've Agot to tur-er-er-er-ern all wars off
Yeah we'd better turn all them Godamned wars
Right off Right now
Right now Right Now [as from "Everybody Get Together"]
[spoken loud]: FUCKING CRAZY WARS
[shouted]: FUCK THEM CRAZY WARS
[spoken]: DON'T COOPERATE
DO NOT COOPERATE
- H.D. Ludd
