Recruiters Lie (Tune: 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall)
We're the Raging Grannies! We're mad as mad can be! Recruiters lie, our children die That's not how it should be!
Our kids are told that they'll get jobs And money for college too, But you can bet that what they'll get Is just the royal screw.
We're here t say we want our kids To grow up safe and sound. Not blown up by a roadside bomb Half the world around.
They send our kids to die in war But we wo't be deceived They say they're fighting terrorists But what have they achieved?
Halliburton's getting rich It's really quite uncouth To profit from war. We say: No more! It's time we heard the truth!
Let's give our kids the jobs they need So they don't have to go And when recruiters hunt them down Then they can all say “NO!”
War is not the answer And so we're here to say: We've had enough, its time to get tough The sweet old Granny way.
