The Lyrics
Oh, Lord, won't you buy me an armored HumVee?
Iraqi's are aiming and trying to kill me!
I wait for the armor my mom sent to me,
Oh, Lord, won't you buy me an armored HumVee?
Oh, Lord, won't you buy me a plane ticket home?
I'm only 19 and feel so a-lone!
Bombing and fighting where snipers do roam,
Oh, Lord, won't you buy me a plane ticket home?
Oh, Lord, won't you buy me some new legs and arms?
My government can't keep me from bombs or from harm.
I wait for delivery from this funny farm,
Oh, Lord, won't you buy me some new legs and arms?
EVERYBODY!
Oh, Lord, won't you buy me an armored HumVee?
Iraqi's are aiming and trying to kill me!
I wait for the armor my mom sent to me,
Oh, Lord, won't you buy me an armored HumVee?
Bring "em home
Iraqi's are aiming and trying to kill me!
I wait for the armor my mom sent to me,
Oh, Lord, won't you buy me an armored HumVee?
Oh, Lord, won't you buy me a plane ticket home?
I'm only 19 and feel so a-lone!
Bombing and fighting where snipers do roam,
Oh, Lord, won't you buy me a plane ticket home?
Oh, Lord, won't you buy me some new legs and arms?
My government can't keep me from bombs or from harm.
I wait for delivery from this funny farm,
Oh, Lord, won't you buy me some new legs and arms?
EVERYBODY!
Oh, Lord, won't you buy me an armored HumVee?
Iraqi's are aiming and trying to kill me!
I wait for the armor my mom sent to me,
Oh, Lord, won't you buy me an armored HumVee?
Bring "em home

I KTOS and from where I stand the pacing was good and profoundly thoughtful. Nice job. 555
Five. And Bush should read it. As Janis herself said, "That's it!"
Not especially funny, but wonderful insight! Great message! I would so hate to be over there! We've wasted too much time in Iraq already. Well-done!
