Zimmerman #1:
(for the bizarrely reemergent Ahmad Chalabi)
They say that patriotism is the last refuge
To which a scoundrel clings.
Steal a little and they throw you in jail,
Steal a lot and they make you king.
-- "What's a Sweetheart Like You . . ."

. . . doing in a place like this?"
Always somewhere else when the Pistol is pulled?
Tommy Gun-He Ain't happy less He got One
Tommy Gun- He ain't Gonna Shoot the Place up just for Fun
Maybe he wants to die-for the Money
Maybe he wants to kill-for his country
Whatever he wants, He's Gonna Get it!
Tommy Gun-You Better Strip it Down for a Custom Run
Tommy Gun-Waiting in the Airport till Kingdom Come
An' we can watch you make it on the Nine O'Clock News
Standing there in Palestine lighting the fuse
Whatever you want, You're gonna get it!
Tommy Gun-You'll be Dead when your War is Won
Tommy Gun-But Did you have to Gun Down Everyone?
I can see it's Kill or be Killed
A Nation of Destiny has got to be Fulfilled
Whatever you want, You're Gonna Get it!
Tommy Gun-You can be a Hero in an Age of None
Tommy Gun-I'm cutting out your picture from page one
I'm gonna get a Jacket just like yours
An' Give my false support to your cause
Whatever you want, You're gonna get it!
Boats an' Tanks and Planes, It's your Game
Kings and Queens an' Generals Learn your Name
I see all the innocents, the Human Sacrifice
And if Death comes so Cheap, Then the Same goes for Life!
Strummer / Jones
