Old Songs - New Again

Thursday, August 25, 2005

Country Joe & The Fish recorded the "I Feel Like I'm Fixing To Die" rag. Just a few words changed and this is so appropriate today. With only two words (bold and italics) we can sing this on September 24th.

Yeah, come on all of you, big strong men,
Uncle Sam needs your help again.
He's got himself in a terrible jam
Way down yonder in IRAQ
So put down your books and pick up a gun,
We're gonna have a whole lotta fun.
And it's one, two, three,
What are we fighting for ?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
Next stop is TEHRAN;
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why,
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.
Same mess, different nation, different year, same type of liar leading our country.
