Neil Young deserves some credit for this. He created a website for anti-war songs back when the Iraq war was raging, and that was the first place I posted this song. The message still resonates. War's hungry eyes are still staring at us all.

lyrics

VERSE 1
Baghdad is burning—these guys want to die
Baghdad is burning—they want us all to fry
Baghdad is burning—never laugh and never cry
Baghdad is burning—hit the switch and say goodbye

Whoa-oh, they’re ready to go
Whoa-oh, they’re ready to blow

Baghdad is burning
Baghdad is burning

God is on the side that wins
Heaven’s waiting for their sins

Baghdad is burning
Baghdad is burning

VERSE 2
Washington is burning—it’s oil that feeds their flames
Washington is burning—they know all our names
Washington is burning—they’re so good at high-tech games
Washington is burning—they’re the beast that no-one tames

Whoa-oh, they’re ready to go
Whoa-oh, they’re ready to blow

Washington is burning
Washington is burning

God is on the side that wins
Heaven’s waiting for their sins

Washington is burning
Washington is burning

VERSE 3
London is burning—the flames are underground
Africa is burning—HIV drugs can’t be found
Israel is burning—their firewall is not enough
Tehran is burning—plutonium will make them tough

Whoa-oh, they’re ready to go
Whoa-oh, they’re ready to blow

The whole world is burning
The whole world is burning

God is on the side that wins
Heaven’s waiting for their sins

The whole world is burning
The whole world is burning
