Been over a year, but I was looking over some of this stuff and had the idea for a song. A necrobump, but it's my topic right? :P
I guess this song would be the opening number? >_>
EXTRA EXTRA (War's not our problem)
Sung by: Paper Boy, Townspeople
Paper Boy:
EXTRA, EXTRA, have I got a story for you!
EXTRA, EXTRA, a story I promise is true!
Read all about it, I ain't gonna shout it
Buy just one paper- the headline is WAR
Don't you dare doubt it, don't be without it
Buy just one paper - it won't be a bore.
Townspeople (Side 1):
Commonwealth aided
Poland, invaded
By Germany, the enemy!
Townspeople (Side 2):
We're not persuaded
Though Germany's raided,
We have to confess, we couldn't care less!
Townspeople (Side 2):
WAR! (It's a bloody thing)
WAR!( It's a muddy thing)
WAR! (It's a cruddy thing)
Who the hell would want to attend?
Who the hell would want to-
(New Singer)
Suspend our daily lives for war? (Who wants to do it anyway?)
It's simply better to ignore! (It's not our problem for today)
Let Europe deal with Europe's mess
There's no reason we should distress
Let Poland deal with Poland's fight
There's no reason to be their knight
Whatever their trouble, whatever their plight
Whether they're dying, in day or night
Whether their winning or losing, it's alright (There's only one thing we can say)
Who cares - It's not our problem anyway!
Townspeople (Side 1):
WAR! (We have to do something!)
WAR!(Can we really do nothing?)
WAR! (Should we just stand and sing?)
Who the hell would want to just sit back!
Who the hell wouldn't want to-
(New Singer)
Attack those who attack our ally? (It is our duty to defend)
Sounds like words of a German spy! (Our will's not something they can bend)
A fight with them is a fight with us
So we gotta make a fuss
If it's what they want it's what they'll get
They weren't counting on America yet!
Now they're in trouble, now they'll fret
Whatever the time, we'll be their threat
And you better believe that they'll regret (This is all that we can say)
Their war! It's a problem for them, okay?
Commonwealth aided
We're not persuaded
Poland, invaded
Though Germany's raided,
By Germany, the enemy!
We have to confess, we couldn't care less!
WAR! (It's a bloody thing) (We have to do something!)
WAR!( It's a muddy thing) (Can we really do nothing?)
WAR! (It's a cruddy thing) (Should we just stand and sing?)
WAR! (It's a bloody thing) (We have to do something!)
WAR!( It's a muddy thing) (Can we really do nothing?)
WAR! (It's a cruddy thing) (Should we just stand and sing?)
*silence for 5 seconds*
Townspeople (United):
There's no point in tryin', people are dyin'
Though they're thousands of miles away
There's no point in cryin', there's no point in lyin'
We're not gonna save the day
Apathy to the highest degree
Cold and callous uncaring
The people have adamantly decreed
We don't intend to be sharing
*softer tone*
Ohhhhhh, War's a bloody thing
Ohhhh, War's a muddy thing
Ohhhh, War's a cruddy thing
And we don't want a part of it!
We don't want a part of it!
We don't want a part of it!
Not a tiny fraction, not a battle or two
Not a bit of action, do we want to accrue
We won't be just a faction of the allied crew
No, No, No, No, No
It's not our battle, it's not our land
No need to prattle if you understand
It's not a demand, it's a command!
It's not a demand, it's a command!
It's not a demaaaaaaaaaaand, it's a command!
War, It's a bloody thing
War, It's a muddy thing
War, It's a cruddy thing
We imploreeeeeeeeeeeeee-
That you ignoreeeeeee
The call for war (The call for war)
So we implore (So we implore)
The call for war, You must ignoreeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-
War, it's not our issue
War, but don't get your tissues
War, there's no need to cry
War, people die
War, it's not okay
War, not today
War, how do we convey....
It's not our problem anyway!
This is the good old USA
Hey! It's not our problem
Say! It's not our problem
Hey! It's not our problem anyway!
Hey! It's not our problem
Say! It's not our problem
Hey! It's not our problem anyway!
Because this is. The. Good. Old.
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
*stop singing*
We're A-Okay!
I was also thinking about writing a reprise for after the Pearl Harbor attacks, which, as you might guess, has the Townspeople (Side 1) coming out on top.
