Words & Music:  Paul Spencer, 2002

Yes, yes. We know the plural of axis is axes. We reckon Paul wrote it this way for very sound satirical reasons. So nyeah!

Of all the world's ills, there is none that's more evil
More gruesome or dread than the terrorist threat
The President says that they're really awful people
And when hes not grinning, you can tell he's upset.

George Bush is angered by the death of civilians
He finds it outrageous like anyone would
So when he kills thousands and speaks about collateral
He's not being callous, you've misunderstood.

We'll march off to war, like good little soldiers
We'll march off to war, for President Bush
Until we destroy all the Axises of Evil
For there's freedom to fight for and a lifestyle to push.

Now some bombs are dirty and cause mass destruction
But our bombs are smart and they'll solve all our woes
Starvation and grief might appear to be a crisis
But really we're helping, as everyone knows.

To help foster peace we'll use words like Islamist
To make it appear that they're all so extreme
Whereas our church is pure and could never be corrupted
And of world domination, would not even dream.

So send us your children, we'll fight against terror
And suchlike emotions that lay people low
We'll fight them with guns and with lots of bloody slaughter
But don't ask who's winning or how long to go.
