There are more and more on the loose
Spreading lies and heaping abuse.
They’re so much better than you are
That’s why they’re shootin’ down your star.
thank you very much for that! i was singing along with it.
now if you could do one about country joe mcdonald's "the fixin' to die rag"-
"come on, all you big strong men,
uncle sam needs your help again!
he's got himself in a terrible jam,
way down yonder in afganistan!
so put down your books,
pick up a gun,
we're gonna have a whole lot of fun!
[and it's]
one, two, three, what are we fighting for?
don't ask me i don't give a damn,
next stop's afganistan!"
[and it's]
five, six, seven, open up the pearly gates-
well, there ain't no time to wonder why,
whoopie! we're all gonna die!
Now come on wall street don't be slow,
why man, this war's a go-go.
There's plenty of money to be made,
by supplying the army with the tools of the trade.
Just hope and pray when they start the bombing,
they drop 'em all on ol' Bin Laden.
[and it's]
one, two, three, what are we fighting for?
don't ask me, i don't give a damn-
next stop is afganistan!
[and it's] five, six, seven, open up the pearly gates-

whoopie! we're all gonna die!
So come on mothers throughout the land,
pack your boys off to fight taliban-
come on fathers don't hesitate,
send your girls off before it's too late!
Be the first ones on your block to have your kids
come home in a box -
[and it's]
one, two, three, what are we fighting for?
don't ask me, i don't give a damn-
next stop is afganistan!
[and it's]

i could only fill in a bit of it, maybe you can make it a really new antiwar song for the new century.
and to all readers who question the good taste of this song, remember it is satire after all.
