Cheerleader's National Anthem (U.S.)

oh say can you see
by the tvs blue light
when democracy failed
and wall st was scheming
the jail stripes and iron bars
left the ghettos in scars
from our sofas we watched
as the nation was screaming
and the missiles red glare
star wars nukes in the air
if you're not rich and white
then your rights are stripped bare
oh say will that blood-spattered
dollar still reign
in the land of corporate greed
and the home of the slave

For Green Party

Take Me Out to the Wargames ("Take me out to the Ballgame")

Take me out to the war games
Take me out I'm so proud
Support Lockheed and fill the gunracks
You don't care if I ever come back
Cuz I'm one in a million who's fighting
And if we all die it's o.k.
Cuz you've got more men left to fight in your
Old War Games!
