From SUMMER STORM | a collection of ukulele ditties [2005]

Inspired by Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 and by the increasing number of dead and wounded US soldiers in Iraq, 'A Just Senator' was written in Hawaii in June 2004 and aimed at the many warmongers on Washington's Capitol Hill.
The willingness of these 'hawks' to send other people's children to fight and die is contrasted by the mythical 'just senator' who sends his own to fight and die alongside them. |
Track 04: A Just Senator
Music & Lyrics by Daniel Gannaway/Apra © 1999
You're a just senator
Hypocrisy is not your fare
You're a just senator
Hypocrisy is not your fare
You're sending your children off to war
Just like those of the middle class and those of the poor
You agree with this it's democratic and fair
Your children proudly serving over there
You're a just senator
Hypocrisy is not your fare
You're a just senator
Hypocrisy is not your fare
You're sending your children off to war
Just like those of the middle class and those of the poor
You serve the government but as a parent you care
That they don't die for lies while they're over there
You're a just senator
Hypocrisy is not your fare
