LYRICS:
I’m seventy and I’m running
To be the free world leader
And I’m campaigning
Supporting the war in Iraq alone
I went through ‘Nam in the Navy
The torture made me war-crazy
So I’m avenging—
Ignoring priorities closer to home
Healthcare, there’s still time for you
Economics can wait too
But this war
Cannot afford us giving in
If we have to stay a hundred years to win
Anniversary five
Bin Laden’s still alive
Casualties on the rise
[Over four thousand are gone]
The stakes are way too high
To leave ’til we’ve won
I’m sure the troop surge is working
Though war with Iran is lurking
Still I’m maintaining
There’s safety in numbers
So let’s send more
Homeland, there’s still time for you
You’re on my list of to-do’s
You may be facing the worst
But I’m putting Iraq first
Healthcare, there’s still time for you
Economics can wait too
But this war
Cannot afford us giving in
If we have to stay a hundred years to win
