We don't do little pinpricks. That's not our style. When we go to war, we're at it a while. Don't look for half measures. We go at it whole hog. We are accustomed to being top dog. Sure, we use drones. Why waste our manpower. When our military-industrial complex needs ev'ry war we can find To keep their plants and their stockholders humming, And not complaining when CEOs are paid millions; so no one will mind. How else can we keep so much top brass employed? Admirals and Generals are happy. They're overjoyed Whenever a tin pot despot needs to be taken down, When a new assignment lets them paint a new town. Need a change of pace? Been married that long? There'll be plenty of locals. How can they go weong? Unless one starts getting jealous and begins to bitch? Quick, find a new war for that seven-year itch.
