We Need A War
Music by Fischerspooner
Very wry, very prescient lyrics by Susan Sontag
"We Need A War"
We need a war
We need a war to show‘em
We need a war to show‘em that we can
We need a war to show‘em that we can do it
Whenever we say we need a war…
If they mess with us
If we think they might mess with us
If we say they might mess with us
If we think we need a war, we need war
Chorus
We need a war,
If we think we need a war.
We need a war.
If we think we need a war.
A war to make us feel safe,
A war to make‘em feel sorry.
Whoever they are…..
If they mess with us
If we think they might mess with us
If we say they might mess with us
If we think we need a war, we need war
Chorus
Can we do it?
Sure we can.
We need a war.
We need a war.
We need a war.

Sure we can.
We need a war.
We need a war.
We need a war.

Prescient and all too scary real(who else but the redoubtable Susan Sontag). Perhaps the contemporary version of "Masters of War" by Bob Dylan.
Yep. And the dancy/pop beat of the music adds a level of irony to the song that, for me, heightens the scariness.
