It was quite predictable it was going to end this way
The politicians saying what they felt they had to say
And it was always someone else who was going to pay
Sad that it's always the same games politicians play

Didn't they see how important it was to get this right?
Not make the same old knee-jerks, searching for a fight?
It makes for such a tragic end and such an ugly sight
When political muscle means the brainless use of might

Did anyone really think they could fight them over there
And ensure no danger with a war so unfair?
Is it not obvious that you create a new cause in that lair?
One to last generations. But perhaps they don't care...

As long as the political words seem right

As long as he appears a presidential sight

Not that he ever needs to fight

Or that to the young he brings everlasting night
