Gulf War Song — текст песни (moxy fruvous)

We got a call to write a song about the war in the Gulf
But we shouldn`t hurt anyone`s feelings
So we tried, then gave up, `cause there was no such song
But the trying was very revealing
What makes a person so poisonous righteous
That they`d think less of anyone who just disagrees?
She`s just a pacifist, he`s just a patriot
If I said you were crazy, would you have to fight me?
Fighters for Liberty, fighters for Power
Fighters for longer turns in the shower
Don`t tell me I can`t fight, `cause I`ll punch out your lights
And history seems to agree that I would fight you for me
So we read and we watched all the `specially selected news
And we learned so much more `bout the good guys
Won`t you stand by the flag? Was the question unasked
Won`t you join in and fight with the allies?
What could we say, we`re only 25 years old?
With 25 sweet summers and hot fires in the cold
That kind of life makes that violence unthinkable
We`d like to play hockey, have kids and grow old
Fighters for Texaco, fighters for Power
Fighters for longer turns in the shower
Don`t tell me I can`t fight `cause I`ll punch out your lights
And history seems to agree that I would fight you for me
That us would fight them for we
He`s just a peacenik and she`s just a warhawk
That`s where the beach was, that`s where the sea
What could we say... we`re only 25 years old?
And history seems to agree that I would fight you for me
That us would fight them for we
Is that how it always will be?
