I posted this a while back, only to see it drop like a rock. This is my version of Darryl Worley's "Have You Forgotten". (I admit, I'm no country fan). Another thread made me remember this.
We Will Remember
By Joel S. (a_random_joel) No copyright needed - distribute freely!
I hear country singers wailing about the need to go to war,
But I must have missed the part when they knocked on recruiter's doors
What about the profits that naive, young Darryl makes
does he offer to the victims any cash he generates?
Some careers are launched like missiles; some careers will hit dead-ends,
So before you take advantage,
Let me tell you this my friend:
Chorus1
We will remember, there's no need for war
Aren't truth, freedom and justice
What America stands for?
We will remember, when our nation changed
From a Democratic country
To a global renegade
You perpetrate the lies about September
We will remember
They pitch with fear and anger all over the T.V.
But it's useless propaganda for those of us whose minds are free
Some folks take time to reason; some are all too quick to judge
And even when the case is weak, some folks will never budge
Testosterone and ego are the fuels for this fight
It's too bad some folks can't see it's fuel driving "Might Makes Right"
Chorus 1
We all know what our soldiers
In the past fought proudly for
How so easily forgotten
By America's pro-war
Chorus2
We will remember; We still have our dignity
We will not sacrifice our rights to truth and liberty!
We will remember - greed and power forced this war
Support our troops by bringing them home
That's all we're asking for
All that's left for me to say is come November
We will remember.
We will remember.
We will remember.
