Greetings: This is the Secretary of War at the State Department
Of the United States
We have a problem
The companies want something done about this sluggish
World economic situation
Profits have been running a little thin lately
And we need to stimulate some growth
Now we know
There's an alarmingly high number of young people roaming
Around in your country with nothing to do but stir up trouble
For the police and damage private property
It doesn't look like they'll ever get a job
It's about time we did something constructive with these people
We've got thousands of 'em here too. They're crawling all over
The companies think it's time we all sit down, have a serious get-together-
And start another war
The President?
He loves the idea! All those missiles streaming overhead to and fro
Napalm
People running down the road, skin on fire
The Soviets seem up for it
The Kremlin's been itching for the real thing for years
Hell, Afghanistan's no fun
So whadya say?
We don't even have to win this war
We just want to cut down on some of this excess population
Now look. Just start up a draft; draft as many of those people as you can
We'll call up every last youngster we can get our hands on
Hand 'em some speed, give 'em an hour or two to learn how to use
An automatic rifle and send 'em on their way
Libya? El Salvador? How 'bout Northern Ireland?
Or a "moderately repressive regime" in South America?
We'll just cook up a good Soviet threat story
In the Middle East-we need that oil
We had Libya all ready to go and Colonel Khadafy's hit squad
Didn't even show up. I tell ya
That man is unreliable
The Kremlin had their fingers on the button just like we did for that one
Now just think for a minute-We can make this war so big-so BIG
The more people we kill in this war, the more the economy will prosper
We can get rid of practically everybody on your dole queue if we plan this right
Take every loafer on welfare right off our computer rolls
Now don't worry about demonstrations-just pump up your drug supply
So many people have hooked themselves on heroin
And amphetamines since we took over, it's just like Vietnam
We had everybody so busy with LSD they never got too strong
Kept the war functioning just fine
It's easy
We've got our college kids so interested in beer
They don't even care if we start manufacturing germ bombs again
Put a nuclear stockpile in their back yard
They wouldn't even know what it looked like
So how 'bout it? Look-War is money
The arms manufacturers tell me unless
We get our bomb factories up to full production
The whole economy is going to collapse
The Soviets are in the same boat
We all agree the time has come for the big one, so whadya say?!?
That's excellent. We knew you'd agree
The companies will be very pleased
