Love During Wartime

Little Beirut
Language: English




"Little Beirut" è il nome dato dallo staff di Bush Sr. alla cità di Portland, Oregon, a causa della "calorosa" accoglienza che gli fu riservata dai suoi cittadini durante una visita dell'allora presidente all'inizio degli anni '90.

"Love during wartime" è una ironica canzone d'amore dedicata a Condoleezza Rice, il "mastino nero" dell'attuale presidente George W. Bush

Dal sito della band:

Tying into the Bush-coined name of the band, Little Beirut tackles the younger Bush’s administration, namely Condoleezza Rice, with a love song entitled “Love During Wartime”.
“’Love During Wartime’,” explains vocalist Hamilton Sims, “is a jab at the war and the goings on of the Bush administration. But it’s also a jab at the fact that in order for [Rice] to become the most powerful woman in the history of U.S. politics, she had to be completely desexualized to make it okay. Hence why a love song to her seems so absurd.”
Oh my babe
Condoleeza, I am not a frog
Come on babe
Kiss me and I’ll the same old song
The sky is falling
Behold the musket fire
Tomorrow’s calling
So kiss away the plans we made

Mama
You’re getting here too late
I left the building
Mama
Making love won’t change the way I feel

Oh my babe
Life was easy before you came along
Come on baby
Quit your dreaming
Time is not your fault
The sky is falling
The generals are calling
And they keep saying - Evacuate!
Let’s go
You know I’m right
Oh, Please believe me

Mama
You’re getting here too late
There’s nothing left for Mama (they burned the building, mama)
Making love won’t change the way I feel
