President he's got his war
Folks don't know just what it's for
Nobody gives us rhyme or reason
Have one doubt, they call it treason
We're chicken-feathers, all without one nut -- God damn it
Tryin' to make it real -- compared to what?...
3rd verse of "Compared to What"
Written by Gene McDaniels
Performed by Les McCann & Eddie Harris et al
I heard this when the Iraq war started, and I loved it then, love it now.

And now the president has his war in Iraq, is widening the war in Afghanistan, and waving the sword at Pakistan.

Great. Need to drive further the song's point: the nuts who are leading us in disastrous killing policies and are totally divorced from reality. "Trying to make it real."
