Senior Citizen Warrior

A war disagreement song. Unfortunately, we can't sing so it sounds funny. Can any of you do it better? We invite you to try.
Here's the lyrics:

Senior Citizen Warrior
Vince & Bob with some help from our friends.

It happened again this last Thursday
That's the day I sit for my Grandson, Tim
He asked me, Grandpa, tell me, where is Grandma?
I picked him up on my lap and told him again

I said Tim, your grandma's somewhere in Fallujah
She's gone to fight for Iraq's liberty
She's what they call a Senior Citizen Warrior
And she gets Battle Pay with her Social Security

Now Time looked up and he said to me, Grandpa
Aint Grandma's supposta knit and bake for me
I shook my head & said that was the old days
Now she patrols the desert with her M-16

Tim your Grandma's somewhere in Fallujah
Lets both pray she'll soon be back with you and me
She's what they call a Senior Citizen Warrior
Instead of retirement, she's fighting insurgents and IEDs

Now my grandson is a real little thinker
And his questions always take my by surprise
He asked, Grandpa why did we have to invade there?
And Grandpa, is Grandma gonna die?

We attacked Iraq because they wanted to hurt us
With weapons the President called WMD
But it turns out that was just a lie that they told us
As for Grandma, we'll just have to wait and see

You see Tim your Grandma's somewhere in Fallujah
But she's safer than most because of gift from your ma
She's what you call a Senior Citizen Warrior
One of the few with a vest of real bullet proof Kevlar

Now I saw my Grandson Tim was getting tired
But there was one more question he just had to ask
Grandpa is Grandma bringing those people freedom?
And when they have it is going to be coming back?

I said Tim, You're just a young boy, you don't know Freedom
Or our Founding Fathers liberty for all
But it doesn't matter anyway I figure
Because those things will all be gone before you're tall

Tim listen to your old tired grandpa
To the way things were before you were born
We could read and think and talk about what we wanted to
And your Grandma was right here at home to keep me warm

You see your Grandma's somewhere in Fallujah
In a heartless place she has no right to be
She's fighting for a lie, and she probably will die
Just to keep the oil flowing free
