Found this great one at the Centre for Political Song website tonight, while looking for new anti-war music. Enjoy!

To the tune of...

DON'T THINK TWICE, LET'S JUST FIGHT by Madeleine Begun Kane


Well it ain't no use to curse and pine and sigh, babe.
If you don't know by now.
And it ain't no use to miss that other guy, babe.
And the ever rising Dow.
Cause my boosters crow and the weak Dems fawn.
Read any paper. You'll see I've won.
That's the reason I'm warrin' on.
Don't think twice, let's just fight.

And it ain't no use in claimin' I'm not right, babe.
Or that I caused your woes.
And it ain't no use in claimin' I'm not right, babe.
I'm on the dark side of the road.
You may wish there was somethin' you could do or say
To try and make me change my mind today.
I always do like to give them hawks their way.
Don't think twice, let's just fight.

So it ain't no use in claimin' I'm to blame, gal.
No use mournin' Albert Gore.
And it ain't no use in playin' the blame game, pal.
I've got votes and I'll get more.
I'm a thinkin' and a plottin' frays against my foes.
I wince when we waffle. We must be bold.
Avengin' my Pop is my major life's goal.
Don't think twice, let's just fight.

So long, mean Hussein.
He'll go down, fast, pell-mell.
Good-bye is too good a word, babe.
So I'll just say, "Go to hell!"
Don't go claimin' I have lost my damn mind.
You just are embittered. Dems are, I find.
You just sorta prattle 'bout corp'rate crime.
Don't think twice, let's just fight.
