Fighters for longer turns in the shower

[ashinae]

Was actually looking for a different CD altogether, but found Moxy Fruvous's "Bargainville" instead and decided that I absolutely MUST take the trip down nostalgia lane to 1993. And then, I remembered about this song. Wow. And I almost cried. Because of it's political nature, I've placed the lyrics behind a cut tag. It's one of those things I wish I had written.


We got a call to write a song about the war in the Gulf
But we shouldn't hurt anyone's feelings
So we tried, then gave up, 'cause there was no such song
But the trying was very revealing
What makes a person so poisonous righteous
That they'd think less of anyone who just disagreed?
She's just a pacifist, he's just a patriot
If I said you were crazy, would you have to fight me?

Fighters for liberty, fighters for power
Fighters for longer turns in the shower
Don't tell me I can't fight 'cause I'll punch out your lights
And history seems to agree, that I would fight you for me.

So we read and we watched all the specially selected news
And we learned so much more 'bout the good guys
Won't you stand by the flag? was the question unasked
Won't you join in and fight with the allies?
What could we say, we're only 25 years old?
With 25 sweet summers and hot fires in the cold
This kind of lie makes that violence unthinkable
We'd like to play hockey, have kids and grow old

Fighters for Texaco, fighters for power
Fighters for longer turns in the shower
Don't tell me I can't fight 'cause I'll punch out your lights
And history seems to agree, that I would fight you for me
That us would fight them for we...

He's just a peacenik and she's just a warhawk
That's where the beach was, that's where the sea
What could we say... we're only 25 years old?
And history seems to agree, that I would fight you for me
That us would fight them for we
Is that how it always will be?

So exactly how many people do I owe letters, feedback, feedback responses to? Too fucking many. How long have I been trying to fill in anything deep and meaningful for what cruisedirector and I wrote for "Sons of Gondor" part 4? Too fucking long. I suck. That's all I can say to anybody I owe anything to. Sheesh.
