Apt404's twist on the Doobie Brothers "Tell Me What You Want.."

Dedicated to......well, you know who you are.

Original lyrics by one of our all time favorites, Mr. Patrick Simmons.

With some changes by yours truly (Please forgive us, Patrick) --

=====================================

Easy, time will keep us waiting longer
Than we listened in the past.
Cool and breezy, winds are blowin' sweetly
On the edges of that distant desert.

Tell us what to think and we'll give you what you need
Tell us what to think and we'll give you what you need
Tell us what to think and we'll give you what you need
Look into our eyes and you'll see a blank stare.

Feelin' happiness inside you now
You always knew it was a state of mind.
You're not exactly reeling, takin' in the thoughts around you
You've got secrets we should find.

Tell us what to think and we'll give you what you need
Tell us what to think and we'll give you what you need
Tell us what to think and we'll give you what you need
Look into our eyes and you'll see a blank stare.

Oh, its so easy
Cool and breezy.
What a feeling,
It's hasn't got us reeling.

Tell us what you want and we'll give you what you need
Tell us what you want and we'Il give you what you need
Tell us what you want and we'll give you what you need
Look into our eyes and you'll see no one standing there.

===========================

Apt404....trying to piss off all the right people.

===========================

Footnote: If ya'll hate us, then we are pleased.

===========================

Once again, Apt404 begs forgiveness if any personnel or families of those deployed are offended. But those dudes and dudettes should be shooting pool, not Iraqis. Bring 'em home. Iraq is broken, and must repair itself or split into separate nations (How long have the Kurdish waited for their own nation? Not that it will be Valhalla, but it has been earned). Iraq is a country that was drawn up hastily by France, Britain, and ourselves following the First World War nearly a century ago. The officials responsible spent a couple of afternoons drawing up the boundaries (if you don't know this, then you are absolutely uneducated) in Paris during the post War peace conference. They knew or cared as much about Kurds/Sunnis/Shiites as does our current Chief Executive. The tribal divisions in the Middle East are centuries old, and 120,000 sitting ducks ain't gonna fix anything. They are just disposable items to those in power.

My lord, please bring home the troops and end this mistake of a war. They DO know what they do. And don't give a shit.
