Cheer for War

Cheer
Now itÕs time to cheer for war
Cheer for pain and death
Cheer for all the blood and gore
And cheer the wrath in the devilÕs breath
Soldiers dead on bloody grasses
Cheer the leaders on the throne
They play with bombs and gasses
Cheer them as they play the games
With only life at stake
Cheer them in the final days
As we watch the whole world bake
I can hear the cheers and song
And feel the pains of death
My mind has washed out with the tide
So now I too must cheer along.

To Whom It May Concern
I was run over by the truth one day.
Ever since the accident Ive walked this way.
Heard the alarm clock screaming with pain,
Couldnt find myself so I went back to sleep again
Every time I shut my eyes, all i see is flames.
Made a marble phone-book and I carved all the names.
I smell something burning, hope its just my brains.
Theyre only dropping peppermints and daisy-chains
Where were you at the time of the crime ?
Down by the Cenotaph drinking slime.
You put your bombers in, you put your conscience out,
You take the human being and you twist it all about
So scrub my skin with women
Chain my toungue with whisky,
Stuff my nose with garlic,
Coat my eyes with butter,
Fill my ears with silver,
stick mt legs in plaster,
Tell me lies about Vietnam
[being primarily a performance piece, i have reduced the constant refrains, which become ineefective in print]
