1. How about: "Where have all the SDs gone? Long time passing...
Where have all the SDs gone? Long time passing
..... Long time ago?
..... Gone to Obama every one
When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn?

3. I remember learning that song (the orig, of course) in elementary school music class.
We also wore POW bracelets.

I wonder how many of today's kids, except for those in miliatary families, are even aware of the situation in Iraq?

Not that I wish to ruin anyone's childhood innocence, but I feel our current culture of "go shoppping to support the troops" does little toward raising an generation with a healthy skepticism about war.

2. To the tune of the #1 hit of 1968- Hey Jude
Edited on Fri May-30-08 08:19 PM by beac
Hey Hill, don't take it bad.
Counting Florida won't make it better.
Remember, you gave it all of your heart,
But ol' Barrack he did it better.

Hey Hill-ites, don't be afraid.
No one was really "out to get her."
The minute you thicken up your skin,
Then you begin to make it better.

And anytime you feel the pain, hey Hill, refrain,
Dont carry that chip upon your shoulder.
For well you know that its a fool who plays it cool
By repeating the same memes over and over.

Hey Bill, we're so let down.
You have defended her, now stop the blather.
Remember you'll need to make a fresh start,
If we're ever to think of you a little better.

So the White House you won't get back in, hey Hill, begin,
A-wading out of the mess you made with.
And don't you know that its just you, hey Hill, you'll do,
The movement needs you shoulder-to-shoulder.

Hey Hill-ites, we're not all bad.
You are sad now, but it'll better.
That man, with the slightly darker skin,
Will soon begin to make it
Better better better better better better, oh.

Na na na na na ,na na na, WE WILL...





(Started off with the intention to make the lyrics totally snarky, but hey, what can I say-- as I went along the Beatles made me want to seek peace. )
