No kill - no bill! No cheap contractor thrill
Bechtel can make big bucks
and Halliburton fleece the shill

But to be part of this mob
You have to kill your share
Illegal war is fun and makes a profit
Be counted out - we don’t care

All the proceeds of death
Will be divided
The vultures get pieces rare
The others must stand and stare

This is the blood-red capitalist way
And we preach it best in the US of A
Get signed on for the next bloodbath
Get on the bus - to the bank we’ll laugh

So who else can we rape today?
Some other impoverished places?
It all makes good business sense
Get with us and our greedy faces

ALL THE LITTLE PIGGIES AT THE TROUGH

Don't move. Take a stand...you're right. There's a lot of profit in war,anywhere you move to. The war we're embroiled in now is over oil prices...where are the infamous weapons that were supposed to be everywhere?
lookie lookie everywhere...but no findee..Someone wanted a reason to go to war, someone found a reason...France was a lone holdout...now they want a piece too..But don't give up your political poetry..everyone has a right to a say. and it aint nagging when you're right!!! LOL
