Moxy Fruvous - Gulf War SongLyrics

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 disagreed? 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 twenty five years old? With twenty five sweet summers, and hot fires in the cold This 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 war hawk That's where the beach was, that's where the sea What could we say we're only twenty five 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?
