The Cost Of Winning
On the plane of Iraq bombs fall in line
smoke arise looking like giant trees,
an alley of death, each bomb a million
dollar a cost accountants nightmare not
knowing how many died. Does each
death cost ten thousand dollars or
a million? If each death can be brought
down to a dollar apiece we wont have
to rise taxes, petrol prices can be as they
are, we can be sorry but freedom has
a price and we neednt worry if soldiers
that fall off branches of cloudy trees have
families, no one will ask no one will care
if we get our sums right.
