I'm missing the war this time
because I'm not watching TV
I'm missing the war this time
because I'm not reading the paper
I'm missing the war this time
because I'm not listening to the radio
I'm missing the war this time
because I'm not surfing the net
I'm missing the war this time
not because ignorance is bliss
I'm missing the war this time
because arrogance has seized the Presidency
I'm missing the war this time
because Congress has abdicated its powers
I'm missing the war this time
because the U.S. has become a world thug
