Gulf War Song

<br>We got a call to write a song about the war in the Gulf<br>But we shouldn`t hurt anyone`s feelings<br>So we tried, then gave up, `cause there was no such song<br>But the trying was very revealing<br>What makes a person so poisonous righteous<br>That they`d think less of anyone who just disagrees?<br>She`s just a pacifist, he`s just a patriot<br>If I said you were crazy, would you have to fight me?<br>Fighters for Liberty, fighters for Power<br>Fighters for longer turns in the shower<br>Don`t tell me I can`t fight, `cause I`ll punch out your lights<br>And history seems to agree that I would fight you for me<br>So we read and we watched all the `specially selected news<br>And we learned so much more `bout the good guys<br>Won`t you stand by the flag? Was the question unasked<br>Won`t you join in and fight with the allies?<br>What could we say, we`re only 25 years old?<br>With 25 sweet summers and hot fires in the cold<br>That kind of life makes that violence unthinkable<br>We`d like to play hockey, have kids and grow old<br>Fighters for Texaco, fighters for Power<br>Fighters for longer turns in the shower<br>Don`t tell me I can`t fight `cause I`ll punch out your lights<br>And history seems to agree that I would fight you for me<br>That us would fight them for we<br>He`s just a peacenik and she`s just a warhawk<br>That`s where the beach was, that`s where the sea<br>What could we say... we`re only 25 years old?<br>And history seems to agree that I would fight you for me<br>That us would fight them for we<br>Is that how it always will be?
