I posted this song six months ago in a thread--Movement Songs. It seems appropriate to repost it at this tail-wag-dog time, rather than revive the thread.

"That Wrong Road Again"
by Charles Kratz

(chorus) (G7) (two,three)We're (C)goin' down that (G)wrong road a-(C)gain
Back (F)on our way to (G)somewhere we (C)shoulda' never (Amin)been,
We're (F)goin" down that (G)wrong road a-(C)gain, yes we (Amin)are:
We're (F)flyin' down that (G)long, wrong road a-(C)gain.

(verse)
(C) (two,three) There's this (C)guy across the (C)water's got our (F)captain awful (C)pissed,
And our (C)captain says it's (C)time to make him (G7)pay,
He says (C)folks who play with (C)matches can't com-(F)plain if they get (C)burnt,
And (C)everybody (C)knows that life's that (G7)way.(G7)
And I (F)guess that's right but (G)still I feel there's (C)something awful (Amin)wrong,
Seems I (F)heard that line from someone (G)else be-(C)fore, (C7)
And (F)all that happened (G)that time was a (C)million [E7]children (Amin)died.
Are we (F)gonna go and (F)kill a million (G)more? (G7)

(chorus)

After the chorus, over the chords for the second half of the verse, spoken words to the effect: "We're worried about his weapons of mass destruction? Starvation is a weapon of mass destruction...gives a whole new meaning to the phrase 'women and children first'" and, after a brief pause, "From the nation that brought the world the blessings of the A-bomb, the H-bomb, the N-bomb (doesn't knock down buildings, just kills people--slowly), a new nuclear weapon, and we already used it: 'depleted' uranium artillery shells--the gift that keeps on giving: Gulf War Syndrome, birth defects, childhood cancer."

...and into another chorus, this time repeating the third line but replacing the "Yes, we are" with phrases like "Our brakes aren't working!" and "Out of control!" and "Look out below!" and "Wag that dog, Bill," and so on...kind of like Neil Diamond in "Running Against the Wind."

Each chord in parentheses indicates a measure; the E7 in brackets [E7] is played in the middle of a measure. The tune is generic folk, more or less implied by the harmonic structure.
