A Modern Day Variant

A Modern Day Variant

Sung to: Give Peace a Chance
By John Lennon and Paul McCartney

Two, one, two, three four
Everybody’s talking about
Baghdad, Gonzales, Al Sadar
Seung-Hui Cho, Virginia Tech
This-ism that-ism, ism, ism, ism
All we are saying is give peace a chance
All we are saying is give peace a chance.

C’mon
Everybody’s talking about
That creepy, blank-eyed loner
Writing so psychotic that students
Discussed when he would shoot up the school.
Make believe-ism, for TV-ism, I wish I could remember-ism.
All we are saying is give peace a chance
All we are saying is give peace a chance.

Let me tell you now,
An angry parent said.
“My God, if someone shoots somebody there should be an immediate lockdown of the campus. They totally blew it, the President blew it, and campus police blew it." He said about his first year daughter who was not on campus at the time.
Regulation, Interrogation,
Flagellation, Masturbation, United Nations,
All we are saying in give peace a chance.
All we are saying in give peace a chance.

Let’s show the whole world
Our suffering and grief
It is to intense to keep inside
Let’s have a bonfire, prep rally for the dead.
The somber event surprised everyone by ending exuberantly when poet Nikki Giovanni yelled out, "We are Virginia Tech!" and thousands in attendance began clapping and chanting, "Let's Go, Hokies!"
Why not-ism… we have a hell of a football team-ism.

Into the sewer
A gun-rights advocate said yesterday that if Virginia Tech students and employees had been armed they would have been able to defend themselves against the rampaging kill.
Has he been to war-ism, ever saw a dead person-ism
Listenin’ to too much talk radio-ism
Anne Coulter and Sean Hannity-ism
All we are saying in give peace a chance.
All we are saying in give peace a chance

The End

And now we must become human again. .
“He has made the world weep. We are living a nightmare,"
said Seung-Hui Cho’s sister.

“We pray for their families and loved ones who are experiencing so much excruciating grief. Each of these people had so much love, talent and gifts to offer, and their lives were cut short by a horrible and senseless act." Sun-Kyung Cho

Please proceed to.

Imagine
“Imagine all the people
Living life in peace.”
John Lennon
