Swift Boat Song

"Let Them Talk"..It's a song about The Swift Boat Vet's Problems. I don't know why I am posting it. I am frustrated I guess. Any input would be appreciated. I know You can't hear the music or understand how it is phrased, sorry.

"LET THEM TALK"

Verse
ARE THE FEW ANOINTED, THE ONLY ONES THAT CAN?
TELL US HOW TO THINK ABOUT THE WAR IN VIETNAM?
THEY WANT US TO REMEMBER. BUT OVERLOOK THEIR FAULTS.
THE SWIFT BOAT VETS WERE THERE TOO, ....LET THEM TALK.

(chorus)
LET THEM TALK...HOW CAN YOU EVEN THINK TO CUT THEM OFF?
YOU STRIPPED AWAY THE HONOR FROM A WAR THAT THEY SERVED IN.
BUT SOME AREN'T GOING TO LET YOU GET AWAY WITH THAT AGAIN.
YOU SAY THAT THEY'RE ALL LYING, HERE'S A THOUGHT..... LET THEM TALK.

Verse
IF YOU WEREN'T ON THAT RIVER, THERE'S NO WAY TO KNOW.
WHY DON'T YOU LET THESE REAL MEN SPEAK, WHY DOES IT SCARE YOU SO?
HOW CAN YOU STILL DENY THEM, DID THEY NOT WALK THE WALK?
DON'T DANCE UPON OUR HEROES....LET THEM TALK.

(chorus)

LET THEM TALK...HOW CAN YOU EVEN THINK TO CUT THEM OFF?
YOU STRIPPED AWAY THE HONOR FROM THE WAR THAT THEY SERVED IN..
BUT SOME OF US AREN'T GOING TO LET YOU DO IT ONCE AGAIN.
YOU SAY THAT THEY'RE ALL LYING, HERE'S A THOUGHT...
LET THEM TALK.

Verse
YOU DON'T HAVE TO LISTEN, YOUR ALWAYS TELLIN' ME.
YOU ALSO HAVE AN OFF CONTROL, RIGHT THERE ON YOUR TV.
THESE MEN SERVED BESIDE HIM, TELL ME THAT IT'S FALSE.
IF YOU CAN'T PROVE THEM WRONG...LET THEM TALK.

DON'T DO MY THINKING FOR ME, I WANT THEIR POINT OF VIEW.
REASONS NOT A SPECIAL RIGHT, RESERVED FOR ONLY YOU!
THE STAKES ARE HIGH, I NEED TO KNOW, HOW MUCH IS THE
COST. WHY DO YOU WANT THEM SILENCED ....LET THEM TALK.

(chorus and out)
LET THEM TALK...HOW CAN YOU EVEN THINK TO CUT THEM OFF?
YOU STRIPPED AWAY THE HONOR FROM THE WAR THAT THEY SERVED IN.
BUT SOME OF US, AREN'T GOING TO LET YOU DO IT ONCE AGAIN.
YOU SAY THAT THEY'RE ALL LYING, HERE'S A THOUGHT.... LET THEM TALK.

YOU SAY THAT THEY'RE ALL WRONG, WELL HERE'S A THOUGHT.
LET THEM TALK.
LET THEM TALK..
LET THEM TALK..
(AND OUT)

BLUECOLLARMAN 2004

I agree...excellent...someone should have contacts to someone who could fast turn-around this thing and maybe tweak it or not, but put it out into the mainstream.

From my perspective, this is a 3-fold campaign on the part of the SwiftVets.
1) Kerry testified under oath to the atrocities he saw commited at the behest of the entire chain of command, which impugns the honor of all of those SwiftVets
2) All of his peers at the time saw Kerry up close and personal, and his actions and attitude, and most only learned later of his medals and the reports he filed to support them, and they know the truth is far different
3) He has made a career out of both his lies about Vietnam and his activities after he bugged out, which assaulted every Vietnam vet either personally or indirectly for the past 33 years.

Kerry is a repugnant self-grandizing man who deserves to not only lose this election, but drummed out of public life.

Best-case scenario:: Kerry's 4 supporting boat-comrades see the light and tell the truth
Kerry resigns the Senate to work full-time on his campaign
Bush wins all 50 states
Senate Pubs wins 61 seats
House Pubs win veto-proof majority
4 Supreme court members retire
President Bush, in concilliatory gesture, appoints Kerry ambassador to France
