I can't tell if throwing a neither do we on the end would make it more or less menacing ๐Ÿค”

[โ€“] HarkMahlberg@kbin.earth 12 points 3 days ago

I wanna assume good faith here so maybe a "volunteer today!" would work... or maybe that's just as menacing...

Fire doesn't discriminate, but ICE totally does!

[โ€“] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 3 days ago

The song of ICE and fire

But if it had to perish twice

This is great on all levels and I feel like they were all intentional.

[โ€“] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 3 days ago

Been a firefighter almost 20 years now. I can promise you it's intentional on as many levels as they could think of.

We will all burn together.

[โ€“] Inucune@lemmy.world 18 points 3 days ago (2 children)

..when we burn. There'll be no need to wait your turn. When the bombs start falling and St. Peter comes a-calling we'll just drop our agendas and adjurn.

Most of Lehrer's songs are still poignant today, huh? National Brotherhood Week especially.

With a couple of small changes, Send the Marines can be updated for 2025 standards.

What with President TACO practicing escalato on the Los Angeles
And then the ICE-est Crisis on top of that
It has been a nervous year
And people have begun to feel like a Christian Scientist with appendicitis

Fortunately, in times of crisis like this
America always has its number one instrument of diplomacy to fall back on
Here's a song about it

When someone makes a move
Of which we don't approve
Who is it that always intervenes?
U.N. and O.A.S
They have their place, I guess
But first - send the Marines

We'll send them all we've got
John Wayne and Randolph Scott
Remember those exciting fighting scenes?
~~To the shores of Tripoli~~
~~But not to Mississippoli~~
What do we do? We send the Marines!

For might makes right
And till they've seen the light
They've got to be protected
All their rights respected
So somebody we dislike can stay elected

Members of the corps
All hate the thought of war
They'd rather kill them off by peaceful means
Stop calling it aggression

Ooh, we hate that expression!
We only want the world to know
That we support the status quo
They love us everywhere we go
So when in doubt
Send the Marines!

You can't just say that here, man

But it is true, it really doesn't!
