For God’s Sake: More Arms, Please!


More arms, please! For our precious children are surrounded by invisible, godless enemies
We can afford it if we cut those squishy social programs that we are assured failed so long ago
We only spend more every year than the ext 10 countries combined so Marines let’s go!
Just another half a trillion and those few rag-tag dead-enders will certainly surrender

Our loyal and patriotic contractors will spend this money properly without any wasteful oversight
So, instead of becoming energy independent, let’s simply go to war for the oil companies
Let education, health, infrastructure and the environment just tread water a little longer
Give us more troops on the ground from the growing pool of our underemployed youth

The military is our answer and only soft, unpatriotic vermin dare whine any feeble objections
Give us this day our daily rockets, video drones and some ear-splitting mortar rounds
Make us tough and focused like Army Rangers, fed solely upon your carefully-crafted propaganda
Not to worry, your updated strategy is only opposed by a handful of cowardly cut-and-runners

Yes, more military spending will see us once again into Reagan’s New Morning In America
Let us spend extra to build more to destroy and kill and preach to them of their clear choices
God bless America with carriers, fighter jets, tanks, smart bombs and night vision goggles
More arms, please! For war is such a powerful stimulus to our noble economy

We’re doing the Right Thing but our cowardly so-called allies are not pitching in
It takes lots of money and a faith-based will to persist with the whole world against us
Go on, Mr. President for no crybaby senator would dare vote against our brave boys
So, let us appropriate and earmark our way to a trillion dollars every year for more war

We must prepare for more pre-emptive defenses and unilateral wars of liberation
We shall forgo pre-natal care, school lunches and affordable doctors, for the tools of death
Save us from the surrounding foreign terrorists and our own spineless, squishy naysayers
Preserve our traditional faith-based family values by spending more to kill other folks

More arms, please! For this will help us to sleep better back here in the heartland
We must maintain our position as the greatest arms exporter in the whole of the world
Make sure it’s easier for Africans to obtain automatic weapons than vaccinations for their kids
Hallelujah, brother, help our leaders to ask god for the courage to stoke this military machine

Cleverly frame any calls for arms spending reductions to be well outside the vale of sanity
We can hide safely behind a wall of patriotic propaganda while signing those blank checks
Know that each dollar is wisely spent by humble and self-sacrificing military contractors
Let’s invest in the machinery of death and then sit back and live upon the interest

God will welcome us to heaven given our modest but expensive efforts in delivering His wrath
Take the moral high ground by selling lots of arms - To both sides in brewing conflicts
Have the subsidized free market of war decide which ideas and leaders shall prevail
Let the defense industry place cute puppies, happy children and soft music in their ads

More weapons, soldiers and wars for, verily, therein lies the way to our happiness and salvation
