Desert Storm
Dedicated to First Lt. Lorraine Lawton, U.S Army Reserves
There's a storm in the desert
Temperatures are rising
Hot winds are ready to blow
Fruits of colonial empires
200 years and more ago
People tired of other people messin'
With their culture & their whole way of life
Impatient men cross the lines of reason
To plunge a whole world into strife
CHORUS:
How do you close the lid, my friend?
How do you put it back in the box?
Once the horse has been stolen, the demon set free
You know it's too late to change the locks
One man is a hero, the other man's mad
It all depends on your angle of view
When the question gets debated with armies
What happens to people like you?
Stock market risin', war is good for business
Be sure and invest your sons
And now that we've "advanced" to equality
Your daughters can also man guns
An equal rights ammendment she will not get
Before we send her into the fray
Little girl if you wanna die for your country
We'll let you join up anyway
REPEAT CHORUS
Yeah there's a storm in the desert
Temperatures are rising
Hot winds have started to blow
You can bet it ain't gonna solve nothin'
And where it ends nobody knows
To all those who say they've got the answers
So confident that they know it all
Just one thing I wish they'd remember
Pride goes in front of a fall
REPEAT CHORUS
