Call a War

By

James Bredin

If they call a war tomorrow and ask for volunteers,
You�d line up �round the block without sentiment or fears,
To go and kill the enemy wherever and whoever he may be,
Just point in the right direction and we�ll all agree,
But he should be a decent enemy � not someone small and puny,
Someone worth killing and preferably a little loony.

But you say this couldn�t happen, people are not sheep,
Well it happened before, sorry to disturb your sleep,
This is why we need input to where they make dicey decisions,
Dull democracy is disturbing, demands propaganda revisions,
They only need to point the finger now to demonize the damned,
Press a button a mile high and they�re instantly condemned.

And that sad sack Sadam is such a staple stupid sample,
Powerful braggart of Baghdad could be bagged as an example,
And what have we won, even if nothing went wrong,
We take the asshole out and we still don�t get along,
Like Milosovich to the International Criminal Court,
And a trial that will last forever for whatever it�s worth.
