What Are We Fighting For?

This is still a work in progress. It's a twisted little ditty that is the result of listening to 1970 Atlantic Recording Corporation's release of Original Soundtrack of WOODSTOCK and a lot of pain medication (dentist)! It was inspired by and is sung to the song by Country Joe McDonald entitled the "I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin-To-Die Rag" Props to both for being my muse! Let me know what you think PLEASE...Don't want to submit it if it's lame!

WHAT ARE WE FIGHTING FOR?

Gimme a B! Gimme a U! Gimme an S! Gimme an H! What's that Spell? BUSH!! (repeat for all eternity)
Well C'mon all of you Servicemen,
Uncle Sam needs your help again.
Got All of US in a terrible jam,
Out in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Say goodbye to your world, and pick up a gun,
But it'll be ANYTHING but fun.
(CHORUS #1)
And it's 1,2,3...What are we fighting for?
Kept asking, Bush don't give a damn,
Next stop is Pakistan.
And it's 5,6,7...Open up those Fiery Gates,
Now, take some time, and wonder why,
Or Whoopee! We're all gonna die.
(VERSE #2)
Ya screwed up Wall Street, You were slow,
Why, Bush's War was a GO GO!
Plenty New Jobs, WE coulda ALL got paid,
Supplying the People with the tools of the trade.
JUST HOPE AND PRAY, AS THEY DROP THE BOMBS,
It's on Al-Qaeda and the Taliban!
(CHORUS #2)
And it's 1,2,3...What are we fighting for?
Democracy? Bush don't give a damn!
IT'S THE PIPELINE AND THE HEROIN!!
And it's 5,6,7...Open up the Fiery Gates.
Now, take some time to wonder why,
Or Whoopee, we're all gonna die.
(VERSE #3)
C'mon Generals, don't move fast,
Grab the dope and the cash while it still lasts.
Now, you can go out and get "Achmed",
Cuz the only good terrorist is one that is dead.
And Corporate "piece" can only be won,
When you've blown them all to Kingdom Come...
SING IT! (REPEAT CHORUS #2)
(VERSE#4 SPOKEN)
Listen People, I don't know how we ever expect to change the world or end the wars if we can't lift our voices together any better than this? There are about 300 million of our Countrymen here and WE NEED TO START ASKING OUR GOVERNMENT WHY??? C'mon!
(CHORUS #3)
And it's 1,2,3...What's TRULY WORTH fighting for?
OUR COUNTRY, and I DO give a Damn,
Obama will you be our man?
And it's 5,6,7...Close Bush's Fiery Gates.
Now, take some time and find out why,
Or, Whoopee! We're all gonna die.
(verse #5)
Act Now Mothers, throughout the Land,
Keep them outta Iraq and Afghanistan.
C'mon Fathers don't hesitate, get your kids back,
Before it's too late!
Don't trade your kids for Headstone Blocks,
Because they were sent home to you in a box!
(CHORUS#4)
And it's 1,2,3...What is TRULY WORTH fighting for?
OUR COUNTRY, and I DO give a damn,
Bring them Home, Rebuild our Land.
And it's 5,6,7...Put a Hammer in their Hand,
Now, you've taken time, and found out why,
So tell me, Why must they still die?
