The War on Iraq Will Cost $2 Trillion

The War on Iraq Will Cost $2 Trillion

It will cost two trillion
To kill little children
Taking taxpayers
For fools to use tools
And hammers with hollow points
Just so we can make a point
“we won’t let tourists terrorize our territories”
While we mass murder Medicare
Slaughter social security
But the TV shoots reality
Shows to show how far we’d go
For nothing close to two trillion
To mediate Middle East hiccups
We create killers who stick-up
The liquor stores when before they
No longer needed more than
Allowance from adults and
Activities for afterschool and
Scholarships to acknowledge
All that they accomplished
But here have my money clip
Though there’s nothing in it
Because they took two trillion from me too
To turn troops
Into veterans when they should have never been
Spending sending somber bombs not surrendering
Tax cuts it adds up on shoulders
Like boulders rolling over the poor it’s colder
When two trill don’t pay for heating
Bills or wheels or meals
Or keeping it real
