Our Troops Are Fighting In Another Land

by Dan Bacher
Here is a Yuletide tune with updated lyrics.
Our Troops Are Fighting In Another Land (Tune of Winter Wonderland)

It’s Christmas time in the city, all the lights are so pretty
But at this time of year, our leaders shed a tear
Our troop are fighting in another land

We bring a gift to the world, to every boy and every girl
We bring a yuletide war and sanctions for the poor
Our troop are fighting in another land

In ‘89 we toppled Noriega, we leveled El Chorillo to the ground
In ‘88 we fought with Dan Ortega, and Nicaragua finally tumbled down

We’ll invade sovereign borders, to impose the New World Order
Bush had a two front war, like Hitler did before
Our troop are fighting in another land

The generals are kind and jolly, they deck the missiles all with holly
What is this season for, but a time to start a war
Our troop are fighting in another land

In ‘91 our troops were in the Gulf War, nobody seemed to know just what for
This year we’ll send a greeting to the world's poor, drones and big missiles by the score

Now we’re in the “war on terror,’ under Obama's reign of error
We can only be free, if we have no liberties
Our troop are fighting in another land

It’s Christmas time in the city, all the lights are so pretty
But at this time of year, our leaders shed a tear
Our troop are fighting in another land
We are 100% volunteer and depend on your participation to sustain our efforts!
