53. Junior - You Don't Speak For Me

Reply to Stinky The Clown (Original post)

Jan 2013

Canadian singer/songwriter Garnet Rogers composed a subtle, slightly non-positive lyrical missive to Bush II

Another rich man's war, another poor man's fight
Keep the flag draped coffins
Hidden from sight
In Washington there's 50,000 names on the wall
You can't name one of them
You were drunk and AWOL
And we're supposed to come when you call

...you don't speak for me.
