Bushwhacked: The Musical Version

By Tom Chelston, http://www.tomsongs.org

Greetings from Texas,
I'm a Veteran (Infantry Hospital Corpsman, USMC/USN) and a songwriter opposed to Bush's war. I wrote "BushWhacked" in support and I have received an incredible response from Soldiers, Families and a few angry co-conspirators. Feel free add this to your site in our mutual mission.

BushWhacked
By Tom Chelston

I served my time far away from the front lines

But I’ve seen them come and I’ve seen them go

Bullets fly when politicians lie and soldiers die that’s war

Their fathers and mothers wake up crying in the middle of the night

Their hearts jump at every knock upon the door

Young Americans bleeding and dying in the middle of this fight

Still trying to figure out what the hell they’re really dying for

Bushwhacked and another soldier dies

They’ve been Bushwhacked

By a whitehouse war built on whitehouse lies

Bushwhacked

And by the time we realize we’ve all been Bushwhacked

Another roadside bomb another soldier dies

If you close your eyes force yourself to look inside

Read between the whitehouse lies that we’ve all been fed

In the name of humanity they peddled our democracy

Claim they’re trying to set Iraqis free

So far we’ve freed a hundred thousand dead

And their fathers and mothers wake up crying in the middle of the night

Their hearts jump with every knock upon the door

Soldiers and civilians bleeding and dying in the middle of this fight

Still trying to figure out what they’re really dying for

They’ve been Bushwhacked and another soldier dies

They’ve been Bushwhacked

By a whitehouse war built on whitehouse lies

Bushwhacked

And by the time we realize we’ve all been Bushwhacked

Another roadside bomb another soldier dies

Bushwhacked and another soldier dies

They’ve been Bushwhacked

By a whitehouse war built on whitehouse lies

Bushwhacked

And we’re gonna lose a thousand more

Yeah we’ve been Bushwhacked

Maybe George should fight his own bullshit war

Thank you for your work.

Sincerely,
Tom Chelston
