Laredo

Lyrics by: Victoria Grans
Gaggle: Victoria
Tune: Streets of Laredo

{brackets indicate where to insert updated names & places)
As we hear the news of the bombing of [Serbia}
Or watch one more war explode on TV
We see our brave leaders play cowboys and Indians
And wonder if this is how things have to be.

2) They say it was right on the streets of Laredo
To reach for your gun wheen the going got rough
But we think our leaders should learn from their grannies
To find a solution without playing tough

3) We’re fed up with war-makers, desperate for glory
We’re not fond of [Clinton or Milosevic]
Don’t tell us we’re righting to save ethnic peoples
We’re fighting so men who sell arms can get rich.
