Tips from the gaggle
- Read the lyrics through once silently before singing.
- If the original tune is unfamiliar, look it up first.
- Modify freely. Every gaggle adapts songs to local issues.
SING IT to the tune of Red Robin / When the Red
When the warhawks in Washington
Put all their armor on
Should we make war?
Must we start the killing
Cause they’re unwilling
To talk some more?
Wake up! Wake up, America!
Rise up! Stop this hysteria.
Be mighty wary o’
U.S. world domination!
When war is perpetual
It’s sure to get you all
Terror, turmoil.
Why should we go to war?
What are we fighting for?
Just more oil?
Why can’t we just agree
To use diplomacy—
Don’t bomb Iran!
Tell the warhawks in Washington
Take off your armor for good!
