No They Won't Go To Iraq

They ought to go to Iraq when their so called just war is won
And have a real life look at the damage their bombs will have done
To the Iraqi cities the damage will be great
And in mass deaths and sufferings what is to celebrate?

But they won't go to Iraq no the real truth they will not face
That their toppling of Saddam will bring more shame and disgrace
On us the human family who slaughter our own kind
To Moses fifth commandment I feel we must be blind.

This Saddam bloke is evil at least that's what we hear
And he's a callous bully who for years has ruled by fear
But are they any better those who lead the crusade?
To rid the world of despots the price in blood is paid.

They ought to go to Iraq and for their own selves see
That they too will have paid a huge price for their so called victory
Where thousands will have perished and millions are dispossessed
They will have removed the oppressor and rendered homeless the oppressed.

No they won't go to Iraq and honour the Iraqi dead
They will stay at home in comfort and sleep in their warm bed,
To have empathy for others you must walk in similar shoes
And the saddest thing about war is that the winners even lose.
