Teach Your Children
09.07.04 (2:07 pm) [edit]David Crosby and Graham Nash have a new album out, which I haven't heard yet. And they're touring. According to their website, they're also running for president. In honor of this event, I present to you something that Graham might possibly not like me much for doing:
I'll put out the fire
You put the children in the grave
That you dug today
Staring at the fire
For hours and hours
While I listen to them
Bomb our holy land
All night long for oil
Only for oil
Come to Tikrit now
And stop shooting for just five minutes
Everything is bombed
Such a cozy hole
The windows are blasted out and gone
By the Americans destroying them
Fiery death for you
Only for oil
Our house is a very, very, very fucked house
With two F-16s in the yard
Saddam used to be so hard
But now everything is lousy
'Cause of Bush
And our oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil...
I'll put out the fire
While you place the children in the grave
That you dug today
Doesn't retain much of its "love tune for Joni Mitchell" appeal, but what the fuck.
Love,
Dougie
