Written/recorded early 2007 when it looked like Iran might be next up, and you know, WTF with this Bush43 guy anyway. Uploaded 2021 as part of my just-in-case-of-COVID electronic archiving project. Beatles forever.

Who doesn't like getting to play pretend Beatles?
Lyrics
COALITION
(from "Revolution 1")
You say you've got a coalition
Well you don't
We're alone against the world
You tell us to complete the mission
Well you know
Where's that banner you unfurled
And now you're talking more destruction
Don't you know we should be getting out
Cause it's never gonna be alright
No it's never gonna be alright
This was never meant to be our fight
You say we gotta bring more troops in
Well you know
We'd all love some helping hands
So where's the local contribution
We'd like to know
Are they really doing all they can
We're stuck in a country where people are blind with hate
All I can tell you is brother don't escalate
Cause it's never gonna be alright
No it's never gonna be alright
This was never meant to be our fight
You say they gave you resolutions
Well you know
They all say that you misled
You brag about new constitutions
Well you know
They don't help much when you're dead
Now don't you go carrying pictures like Chairman Powell
You fake it again man I tell you the world would howl
Cause you know they won't believe you twice
No the world won't be deceived not twice
Cause that would really be not bright
Oh oh oh oh not bright...not bright
oh oh...it's not right...its not right oh oh... you're not bright
