GOP/Dems War Duet: You Gotta Save Somebody 

Someone has decided to rewrite Bob Dylan’s Gotta Serve Somebody, to fit the current climate in 2015.

The song has not been well received in Washington.

So much so, that I’m kind of holding in my bleeding guts with my bare hands.

Gotta love the free market in drone-vengeance technology against unpatriotic pinkos!

Don’t worry, I’ll make sure I’m back on my feet soon.

 

You may want to yoke in your buddies, in Berlin or in Paris

You may like to take a risk, handing out the poisoned chalice

You may be the most powerful politico in this whole goddamn world

You may be a moneymaker such that no-one has ever heard

 

Cos you only wanna save somebody, yes indeed

You only wanna save somebody

You may be Satan incarnate or a tinpot God’s Messiah

But you always want to save somebody

 

You might be a drone commander killing kids in rage

You might be pounding Afghan opium or young Iraqis in a cage

You may be a smooth operator or a high-grade Mafioso

They may call you Da Vinci or they may call you Bozo

 

But you only wanna save somebody, yes indeed

You only wanna save somebody

You may be Satan incarnate or a tinpot God’s Messiah

But you always want to save somebody

 

You may be a wonk stormtrooper, you might be a whining jerk

You may get all your dollars from a sycophantic media TV network

You may be Satan incarnate or a tinpot God’s Messiah

But you always want to save somebody

 

You may call me Pinko, or a second-grade Alinsky

You may call me Chomsky’s dupe, or a knock-off Ted Kaczynski

You may say I’m like Ayers, you may say I’m talking balls

But you’re the lord of warfare, your generals answer to your call

 

Cos you always wanna save somebody, yes indeed

You always wanna save somebody

You may be Satan incarnate or a tinpot God’s Messiah

But you only want to save somebody,

Save somebody!
