Why make war? For most of us commanding's such a chore. When Bush can't tell us what it's for, we use interrogation And tell our troops to bang on doors to scare the population Into revealing why they think that this administration Went to war. We'd hate to cross the Delaware as did our predecessors With uniforms mussed up and damp and never enough pressers, And who can stand their meals prepared with foreign food processors? We hate war! Why make war? Two terms of Bush and what's worth fighting for? Since his administration won't admit we're getting hotter, Why build a Freedom Tower whose base is six feet under water While CO2 emissions stay much higher than they oughter? Why this war? It's hard to raise esprit de corps when women wear a burka. A mid-east tour without the wife can be a real tear jerker, Unless you're in command and rate a free French social worker. That's a war? Why make war? We never signed on for the blood and gore. Commanding's now like hitting on the girlfriends of the Saudis, Who in this horrid desert heat still love to share hot toddies, Because with photos banned this time, we never see the bodies. We hate war! The interference that we faced from Wolfowitz and Cheney Precluded making post-war plans – we simply weren't that brainy. Our question now? Was Rummy's firing filed as miscellany? We hate war!
