Iraqi Body Count Poem. by kevin raymond

25 thousand souls depart
To heaven in two years
I'm sure they'd rather be down here
With family, friends and peers
Take me out to a foreign land
Thats nothing to do with me
Let me murder women and children
To impose my democracy !

Hershey bars and HP sauce
Fly it in on jets
Blitz them with McDonalds
Napalm them with debt
Take me out to a foreign land
Thats nothing to do with me
Let me murder them with friendly fire
Its called democracy !

The statistics show the wars near won
Cos more have died this year
What about the living
Who live in constant fear?
Statistics are ball-shit stics
Human beings you mean
How dare you call them numbers
To do so is obscene !

Take me out to a foreign land
Thats nothing to do with me
Let me murder your statistics
Its called democracy !

peace.
