Another Joel Sax Bush-Era Anti-War Filk Song

Posted on January 10, 2003 in Crosstalk

Karen Zipdrive sent me down memory lane today. This is set to the tune of the Association’s “Turn, Turn, Turn”:

For every gaff, Spin Spin Spin
There is an excuse, Spin Spin Spin,
And a lie for every purpose in the White House.

A time to cheat,
A time to steal, etc.

A time for war:  I swear they cannot wait!

The original makes for good singing, too.

Then there’s my updating of 1-2-3-4 by Country Joe and the Fish:

And it's 1,2,3, 
What are we fighting for?
To be truthful I don't give a fuck
About the people of I-raq!

Yes, a little poetic license was taken in the rhyme. An cleaner alternative is:

And it's 1, 2, 3
What are we fighting for?
To be truthful, I won't join attacks
Against the people of I-raq.
