Rogues Bard - Songs - Band of Dope and Glory

BAND OF DOPE AND GLORY

While the Middle East was shot to pieces ,Tony sat on far off beaches
Sipping exotic cocktails called “Winning Hearts and Minds”
“I’m sorry folks it’s just a glitch ,you’ve got to see “The Greater Picture
Now it’s time to draw the line, it’s time that we moved on,”
I really have got other loyalties, I’m looking after pop stars royalties,
I left the country in the hands of my mate “Two Jags John” **
The lights were on, but no-one was in, he’s even thicker than my skin
If ignorance is bliss there’s no-one more blessed than John

And we are a Democracy . .Free to bomb just whom we please
United in our land of Dope and Glory, and Israel slammed it’s mighty hammer.
Draped in a star spangled banner, and George and Tony’s legacy
Is going for a song.

The United Nations huffed and puffed,”It’s time these cowboys bit the dust”
But they’re united in their Land of Dope and Glory
And in Iraq they body count, and backat home the coffins mount
And George and Tony’s legacy is going for a song,

And we are a Democracy . .Free to bomb just whom we please
United in our land of Dope and Glory, and Israel slammed it’s mighty hammer.
Draped in a star spangled banner, and George and Tony’s legacy
Is going for a song.

The music starts, the critics rage, the lights come on, the credits fade
They ride into the sunset, Another rank job done.
A long retirement fat and easy, and all the worls picks up the pieces
And Tony says “Let’s draw the line..it’s time that we moved on.
