Syd - Sink Hole - Original Protest Song

Recently wrote this song. Made it musically simple, please learn to play it. Get the message out there that we DO NOT want another war with Iran. We've lost to many of our brave soldiers already.
The chords are: E - G - D -A CHORUS: C - F
Lyrics:
hey there all you working class bust your ass to make your cash
don't forget about uncle sam, give a portion to the man
your uncles a real big plan, overseas, in Iran
gotta make it like Iraq, got to get our freedoms back.
But how much money does it cost, how much money have we lost
there's lots of facts that you can see, the truth will always set you free.

Refrain 1:
over 500 billion dollars in tax payer funds
should be another 100 billion till this year's done
140 more in 2008, isn't this total getting far to great
That's 700 billion that we could use, isn't this spending, ours to choose?
There's over 9 billion dollars unaccounted for, isn't that what a budgets for?

hey there mothers throughout the land, send your sons to a new vietnam
fathers send your daughters too, there's lots of jobs that they can do
there's been violence there for 1000 years, but were gunna make them shift their gears
all it'll take are a couple of lies, at most 6 months, not too many lives
Well lets just see if all that's true I've got a couple more facts for you

Refrain 2:
it's 3 years later we've lost close to 4000 men
almost 5,000 will never walk again
24,000 will have battle scars
(chorus breakdown) 30% of all men that went, don't come back the same way they were sent
(end breakdown) Now we're gunna need to send a whole lot more, what are we still doing this for?

There's a whole lot of reasons so listen up all americans
we can't let 9/11 happen all over again
Sadam's got weapons that you've got to see to believe
these misguided people need more democracy
These goals are all so nobel, and our morals so true, but there's lots of facts that are available to you

Refrain 3:
Blood for oil isn't really bona-fide
But it keeps the anti-war people preoccupied
Sure there's other threats, that we could look to fight
But Instead let's toss them money, and hope they stay polite
We started in Iraq, now lets finish in Iran, none of our citizens are going to give a damn

yea your a terrible musician and singer, please dont sing any song ever again. also please before you sit there like a coward and say the war is wrong go over there for youreself and see why people like me are willing to fight

[FloydianSlip6]

You're defending your home because you think you're doing what is right. The people your shooting at are defending their home because they think it's right. But at the end of it all who's paying the price? The people who lied to start the war in the first place? Or everyone on the battle field that doesn't have a choice?

[Jimmypage232]

your complaing about how much money we spent. its the liberals raising the taxes even higher to pay for all the stupid levys and stuff. and i guarentee alot more people would have died if u didnt go over there you selfish idiots. sadam would have killed 1000 and 1000s more and still counting and your complaing about helping everybody out.

[FloydianSlip6]

something like the 1000s of innocent non-combatants that get caught in the cross fire /blast radius?

[Everythingaquarium]

the song was good at the start but then it sounded like you were just singing a sentience a bit. not hating just some constructive feedback don't listen to haters.

@zacksethandy YouTube is a place for amateur people to do and say/sing what ever they want. Get used to it and move on.

[Mr3Chords]

Good lyrics, good sentiment. Keep writing songs man.
