For presidential longevity

In a bleak economy

Wave the flag show 'em who's boss

U.S War #54 of course

The masses have been prepared

Grenadan and panamanian affairs

Bomb 'em to hell once you begin

Civilians casualties have been factored in

Say it's for freedom when it's oil

And the sovereignty of kuwaiti soil

To protect the soldiers we'll censor the news

Schwastzkopf gives only the fact they choose

Cast a villain: Saddam Hussein

Paint him evil and insane

With our help and his notorious fame

The world's problems on him we can blame

Problems like our decaying schools

Crooked bankers treating us like fools

Tankers leaking oil slick pools

Cities where fear and violence rules

Problems like AIDS

Global warming: a fucking mess

What we need for re-election for sure

U.S War #54

When Johnny goes marching home again

Hurrah hurrah

In a body bag, ha ha ha ha

Never to come to family or friends

He died so fast and that is his end

See the pain in their face

So sad such a fucking waste

Watching buddies' flesh burn

No more lessons to be learned

Won the war what's the show

Refugees with no home to go

Mothers' pain in their eyes

Crippled children you can't hide

Military brass now are stars

On the talk shows and in the bars

How George got the world protected

Just to get his ass re-elected

To stack the court and slyly confused

"Bye civil rights women's" right to choose

The plan was perfect couldn't ask for more

U.S #54

When johnny goes marching home again

Hurrah hurrah (etc)
