3. I Feel Like I'm Fixin' To Die Rag (2026)

A tribute to Country Joe MacDonald, who left us too soon this year, whose work needs all too little updating:

Yeah, come on all of you, big strong men,

Donold Trump needs your help again.

He got himself in a terrible jam

Way down yonder in Iran

So put down your phone and pick up a gun,

We're gonna have a whole lotta fun!

CHORUS

And it’s one, two, three,

What are we fighting for?

Don’t ask me, I don’t give a damn,

Next stop is Iran;

And it’s five, six, seven,

Open up the pearly gates,

There ain’t no time to wonder why,

WHOOP-EEEEE!!! We’re all gonna die!

Now, come on Wall Street, don't be slow,

That profit stream has got to flow.

There's so much money to be made

By supplying our side the tools of the trade,

Just hope and pray in all the fuss,

It don't blow back on us.

Now, come on generals, let’s move fast;  

Your next big blunder’s come at last.  

The only way that peace is won  

Is to blow them all to kingdom come.

When we bomb a town, the survivors see

That we give them liberty!

Well, come on mothers throughout the land,  

Pack your son off to Iran.  

Come on fathers, don’t hesitate,  

Send your daughter - don’t be late.

Be the first one on your block

To have your kid come home in a box.

4. Give Peace A Chance

All we are saying
Is give peace a chance.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

5. Lead With Love

You gotta put one foot in front of the other

and lead with love.

Put one foot in front of the other

and lead with love.

Don’t give up hope.

You’re not alone.

Don’t you give up.

Keep movin’ on.

Lift up your eyes.

Don’t you despair.

Look up ahead.

The path is there.

I know you’re scared

And I’m scared too.

But here I am, right next to you.
