The Lyrics
They moved our Marines, and made ‘em go to Iraq
With the IED’s, Al Quida and a smokin’ bomb pack
Watch our sons and daughters go
And they don’t know just how long they’ll be gone
He moved our Marines, and made ‘em go to Iraq
He took all the oil, put it in the barrel isle
And they charged for driving a dollar and a half more per mile
Watch our sons and daughters go
And they don’t know just how long they’ll be gone
He moved our Marines, and made ‘em go to Iraq
Hey, soldier, soldier, put away in Walter Reed, now
Look at spots on the ceilings, while waiting for your M.D.’s
Geeze!
Watch our sons and daughters go
And they don’t know just how long they’ll be gone
He moved our Marines, and made ‘em go to Iraq
Late last year, the fire or frying pan
And a big hollow Texan took away my old man
Watch our sons and daughters go
And they don’t know just how long they’ll be gone
He moved our Marines, and made ‘em go to Iraq
With the IED’s, Al Quida and a smokin’ bomb pack
Watch our sons and daughters go
And they don’t know just how long they’ll be gone
He moved our Marines, and made ‘em go to Iraq
He took all the oil, put it in the barrel isle
And they charged for driving a dollar and a half more per mile
Watch our sons and daughters go
And they don’t know just how long they’ll be gone
He moved our Marines, and made ‘em go to Iraq
Hey, soldier, soldier, put away in Walter Reed, now
Look at spots on the ceilings, while waiting for your M.D.’s
Geeze!
Watch our sons and daughters go
And they don’t know just how long they’ll be gone
He moved our Marines, and made ‘em go to Iraq
Late last year, the fire or frying pan
And a big hollow Texan took away my old man
Watch our sons and daughters go
And they don’t know just how long they’ll be gone
He moved our Marines, and made ‘em go to Iraq

Good title, good message.
Ironic: A lot of people think that the Garden of Eden was in Iraq. "Paradise" may have been paved long ago, but I wouldn't advise anybody to park there.
Great parody, Rick! Also, interesting observation, Michael.
Yet another great Joni Mitchell parody!
Rick, did your son make it back okay? ... Good parody, on the money. 555
I like this a lot, though the chorus could have been varied some instead of repeated; the content is scathing and wonderful and this is a great OS to use for your message! I can picture joni Mitchell using it, especially the last verse. Very powerful.
Yes Tommy. He's coming home tomorrow. Thanks
I wondered... so the song posting might have been thusly inspired... Please let us know he made it back safely. And thank Whomever (all due respect to Phil A's parody today) if he does.
