Which nation will be the first? Although the US warlords evidently have to watch out where exactly they will drop 'em as they have to be careful not to destroy the precious oil wells.

No matter the poor conditions under which the population of Iraq is living, no matter the disastrous after effects of the Gulf War, of course.

Just drop 'em!

Did you see the frightened ones?
Did you hear the falling bombs?
The flames are all gone, but the pain lingers on.

Goodbye, blue sky
Goodbye, blue sky.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.

Okay, okay, okay ... I won't start with that.

But my current war anthems also come from the mind of Mr. Waters:

• Hey, bartender! Over here!
Two more shots, and two more beers.
Sir, turn up the TV sound,
The war has started on the ground. (The Bravery of Being Out of Range)

• O! can you see--
It all makes perfect sense
Expressed in dollars and cents,
Pounds, shillings, and pence.
O can't you see it all makes perfect sense. (The Perfect Sense)And this for all wars, from Floater: Alone (http://home.attbi.com/~hbi3/alterlyrics.html#alone):(Thunder, birds chirping, bomb blasts)

Hold me close until my fear subsides.
Yah I might be the only one left alive.
Oh pull me out of this sullen field. Yes.

I might be too close.
I might be too close.

We’re all alone.
We are alone.
But I don’t know your location.
So many ghosts have come and gone.
They left a ringing in my ear.
We are alive.
The world is ice.
This is a strange vocation.

But I might be too close.
I might be too close.

I can feel you, Mother.
Oh I’m so near you, Mother.

We were all so brave on the outside.
Oh we painted our very own meaning of love
in our letters of blood.

Oh Yes

It goes so fast, like a bomb blast.
The conviction of the righteous is gone.

Yah it goes so fast, like a bomb blast.
The conviction of the righteous is gone.

Yah we are alone
We’re all alone
But I don’t know your location.
So many ghosts they have come and gone.
They left a ringing in my ear.
To put the blade to those you love
This is a strange vocation

I might be too close
I might be too close

I can feel you Mother
Oh I’m so near you Mother

We were all so brave on the outside.
Oh we painted our very own meaning of love
In our letters of blood.

(Bomb blasts)

Oh-ho Yes

We painted our very own meaning in letters of blood

(Bomb blasts)

I saw the frightened faces of the boys coming in for the kill.
So many more of them left to cut down before we take that hill.

And they said,
"Any man here with a merciful thought in his head will be shot where he stands."
So we carried out faithfully, down to the letter, all of the Colonel’s demands.

All the Colonel’s commands.
Yah all of the Colonel’s demands

And in the end we all knew we’d be getting what we got
to the devil by a hangman’s rope with the whole wretched lot.

(Helicopter, birds chirping)peace,
Tiassa :cool:

Amused To Death, great album. :)

Good lyrics from Floater. Very suitable for all wars, indeed.

Peace. :)
