War is Caused by Bad Guys (being shits)

Yup – this was definitely a “get it off the chest” job. I’m seething right now over the evil that is being done by Donald J Trump, in close cahoots with Benjamin Netanyahu and their revolting acolytes.

It’s particularly stomach-churning, as a Christian, to have my faith weaponised to “justify” these war crimes. Jesus would have been REALLY pissed-off. He’d have done a bit more than chucking their tables over and calling them snakes. There is something reptilian about Hegseth, though.

I’m sure lots of Jews feel the same about Newtan Yahoo.

Here’s the mp3

And the sheet music

The words are at the end of this page.

For once, I’m not apologising for bad language. These men are monsters who send their own countrymen and women to die for reasons of arrogance, greed and in the cases of the twin turds mentioned above – a desire to stay out of prison.

They earn the word “shit” masterfully.

…. and here are some of the good guys …. I’m proud to be a (very insignificant) writer of anti-war songs. Like most people, I dallied with out-and-out pacifism in my teens. The I realised that, because of the bad-guy-shits, peaceful people have to go to war to stop (or fail to stop) genocide.

Here are the much-more-significant anti-war songwriters alluded to in this song.

Ask, in a song, where all the flowers have gone. Walk some roads and they’ll call you a man.
Sing out that we shall overcome some old day. in Iran, Ukraine and in Afghanistan
You can march, wave your banner, sing your songs and say your prayers.
And we’ll cheer and we’ll love you all to bits.
You are one of the good guys and we need you to go on.
But war is caused by bad guys being shits, being shits.

Sing out “Peace Will Come”, then wait for ever more. Imagine a brotherhood of man.
A Man’s a Man for a’ That, the whole wide world o’er. And we’re brothers.  Just picture if you can.
So Roll On The Day when we can just Give Peace A Chance. In a prayer, in a song, whatever fits.
You are one of the good guys and we need you to go on.
But war is caused by bad guys being shits, being shits.

They’re fighting for their freedom and religion so they say. Just to make our nation great again.
Purity of race and of belief is what they preach. To justify the suffering and the pain.
In Kiev and in Changi in Tehran and in Dachau. Vietnam and Waterloo and in Auschwitz.
Yes, these are the bad guys and we need to dump them all.
‘Cos war is caused by bad guys being shits, being shits.

Stuff that I do …
