Title: Muammar's Song
Post by: Jubal on March 12, 2011, 08:10:05 PM

Something nice and topical:

Muammar's song
I might blow a few up from time to time
But my people all love me
My people all love me
I might go on trial for a few little war crimes
But my people all love me
My people all love me

I built this place in the 1960s,
Doing my best to hang on here since then
The people won’t suffer without a democracy,
The army will prosper without any men

You see those aircraft? It’s time to destroy them,
The west will remember Megrahi for years;
But all is forgiven, he’s flown home to freedom
Not having black gold is the worst of your fears

I might blow a few up from time to time
But my people all love me
My people all love me
I might go on trial for a few little war crimes
But my people all love me
My people all love me

It’s really not fair that the people are angry
Just look at Queen Liz, nothing’s happened to her
It’s vital I get back control of the country…
Those al-quaida drugs really have caused a stir.

It’s must be Obama – or was that Osama?
It can’t be ol’ me that has caused all this mess
I’m just a Bedouin, an old freedom fighter,
Dictatorship? Just a small sideline, I guess.

I might blow a few up from time to time
But my people all love me
My people all love me
I might go on trial for a few little war crimes
But my people all love me
My people all love me

We’ll fight in Zawiya, bomb out their soldiers ,
My people all love me, I’ll lead til’ I die
I’ll hire mercenaries, I’ll smoke out their leaders,
It’s tough work I know, but I know I must try.

Maybe I’ll sing this when the rebels have made gains,
Holed up in a bunker that’s waiting to fall;
I’ll have lost my sons, all my tanks, all my airplanes,
My foes will be shooting my guards in the hall

But my people will love me,
They all have to love me,
Yes, I’m sure that they love me,
They’ll die for Gadaffi.

I like it, really captures the essence of his insanity.
