Always running behind the times, I just heard this song for the first time ... it's a few years old, but so timely ... (I can almost hear Bush singing it now) ...
Every morning I get up and I watch the war, watch the war And every morning it upstages all my favorite shows--Donahue, Hogan's Heroes It's the American way, the new world order We hold these truths to be self-evident In the American day, you must give, I shall take, I will tell you what is moral and what's just Because I want, because I will, because I can, so will I kill Every morning I get up and I raise the flag, Salute the monument of those who gave their lives And I guess war's OK, it's just a little inconvenient, but it's better Than a video game...it's better than the movies Cause it's the American way, the new world order We hold these truths to be self-evident In the American day, you must give and I shall take, I will tell you what is moral and what's just Because I want, because I will, because I can, so will I kill And every morning I get up and I watch the war, watch the war, watch the war And every morning it upstages everything I know... Cause it's the American way, the new world order We hold these truths to be self-evident In the American day, you must give and I shall take, I will tell you what is moral and what's just Because I want, because I will, because I can, so will I Because I want, because I will, because I can, so will I Oh say can you see Because I can, so will I - Jonatha Brooke, accompanied by Bruce Cockburn, from the album "Plumb" (The Story) ~
