War Crimes

(This poem can be sung to the tune of the traditional Scottish folk song "My Bonnie Lies over the Ocean.")

 

D.T.:

“Oh, I have no problem with war crimes,

Though some people might disagree.

That anything goes is my doctrine.

No, war crimes do not bother me.

 

(Chorus)

“War crimes, war crimes,

Oh, war crimes do not bother me, not me.

War crimes, war crimes,

No, war crimes do not bother me.

 

“Some people frown upon torture.

They think it's cruel and perverse.

But I think that it can be useful.

Restrictive rules are such a curse.

 

“War crimes, war crimes,

Oh, war crimes do not bother me, not me.

War crimes, war crimes,

No, war crimes do not bother me.

 

“Terrorists are a big nuisance.

But one way to spoil their plots

Is to go after their loved ones.

Then they might have second thoughts.

 

“War crimes, war crimes,

Oh, war crimes do not bother me, not me.

War crimes, war crimes,

No, war crimes do not bother me.

 

“Soldiers out there who've committed

War crimes are heroes, you see.

I'll gladly give them a pardon

‘Cause war crimes do not bother me.

 

“War crimes, war crimes,

Oh, war crimes do not bother me, not me.

War crimes, war crimes,

No, war crimes do not bother me.

 

“To leaders who rule other countries,

Listen to me, for I swear

I'll bomb your cultural centers.

Let ALL the world's nations beware.

 

“War crimes, war crimes,

Oh, war crimes do not bother me, not me.

War crimes, war crimes,

No, war crimes do not bother me.”
