I rewrote the lyrics to this famous anti-war song from Vietnam. (If you don't know it go download it) What do you think?



Iraqi War Rag (I-FEEL-LIKE-I'M-FIXIN' TO-DIE)

By Country Joe and the Fish, new lyrics by jante99





Well, come on all of you big strong man

Uncle Sam needs your help again

Got himself in a terrible jam

Way down yonder in Arab land

Put down your books and pick up a gun

We're gonna have a whole lotta fun



And it's one, two, three what are we fighting for?

Don't ask me, I don't give a damn

Next stop must be Iran

And it's five, six, seven open up the pearly gates

Well, there ain't no time to wonder why

Whoopee we're all gonna die



Now come Haliburtan, don't be slow

Cheney has said go, go, go

There's plenty good money in the air

Drill the oil, just be fair

Rummy says it?s an easy war

Just drop the bomb on the Iraqi poor



And it's one, two, three what are we fighting for?

Don't ask me, I don't give a damn

Next stop must be Iran

And it's five, six, seven open up the pearly gates

Well, there ain't no time to wonder why

Whoopee we're all gonna die



Now come on dubua let's move fast

Your big chance is here at last

You may have ducked ol?Vietnam

But now you can kill some Arabs, and be a man

You know that peace can only be won

When you blow 'em all, the kingdom comes



Sing it

One, two, three what are we fighting for?

Don't ask me, I don't give a damn

Louder

Next stop must be Iran

And it's five, six, seven open up the pearly gates

Well, ain't no time to wonder why

Whoopee we're all gonna die
