Subject: Lyr Add: Persian Gulf Tragedy(1991-2002) From: Charley Noble Date: 30 Sep 02 - 08:41 PM Might as well dust off this song I composed back in January of 1999. Unfortunately, it was obsolete within a week of creation. However, it looks like we might get a second chance, thanks to the Bush boys, to protest this neoimperialism and maybe someone will find some use for this song: THE PERSIAN GULF TRAGEDY (By Charlie Ipcar © 1991 Tune: The Ballad of Springhill by Peggy Seeger) Dm----------C----Dm-----------C In the Pers-ian Gulf, you don't sleep ea-sy, Dm----------F---G----------Dm Of-ten the earth will trem-ble and broil; Dm----------F—G-------AmEmDm When the skies are rest less, peo-ple die – Dm-----C----------Dm---C Bone and blood is the price of oil, Dm-----C----------Dm AmA7 Bone and blood is the price of oil. Hear the sirens wail, o'er a sleeping city, See the tracers light the midnight skies; A dance of death, flashed 'round the world – Bone and blood is the price of lies, Bone and blood is the price of lies. See soldiers file out, across the desert, Encased in armor, hear their engines whine; For God and Country, loved ones dear, But bone and blood is the bottom line, Bone and blood is the bottom line. See the generals in their bomb-proof bunkers, Watching the war on the video display; Machines rain death on distant lands – Bone and blood is the price today, Bone and blood is the price today. See the oil plume spread from the pumping station, A black ooze washes against the shore; Birds and fish die by the millions – Bone and blood is the final score, Bone and blood is the final score. See the Dove of Peace fly above the marchers, Hear voices rise; best heed their plea: "Cease fire now! Send soldiers home! Bone and blood is Death's victory, Bone and blood is Death's victory!"
