The Lyrics

Blood and Martyrs
Blood and Martyrs
Go together just like
Hate and foreigners
Rhetoric's for goading
When that don't work, they're self-exploding

Blood and Martyrs
Blood and Martyrs
Diplomats may try, but
They try harder
Keep them from explosives,
Cause hate-filled guys are self-corrosive

Try, just try to desecrate their old holy relics
Why, oh why? The damage will be more than just aesthetic

Blood and Martyrs
Blood and Martyrs
They're not dumb,
But we should be much smarter
Save us from all evil
We'll take their bombs
And fears we'll calm
And save us from
Worldwide upheaval

Didn't know whether to give this a 5 for humour... it's not exactly funny, but it is very well written.

Blow, blow, blow your bomb
Yankees in the street
WMD, WMD, WMD, WMD
Death is fast and sweet

Footnote: I really have no idea what I mean with this comment. It just came to me. To short to be a stand alone parody so...

I agree with Philbo - I give this one all 5's, because it's well-written and clever, and because "When that don't work, they're self-exploding" has a wickedly grim wit in its perfect pacing and choice of words.

Thanks a lot for the ratings and comments, Phil, Know 1 & Johnny! Know 1, that's cute -- in a twisted way. Is there somewhere to post fragments? I sometimes come up with a verse or two I can't expand into a full parody...

Writing parodies about these venomous vermin is indeed grimly, not LOL, funny. But since we can't iterally kill them, we can at least try to wound with caustic commentary. Fives to the song; no five prostrations a day.

Blacker than Johnny Cash's pyjamas, but very well done. 555

I thought this was well done also. There is a way to post parody fragments, as you asked--on the main page I think you'll see it.

Thanks, John and Kristof for the comments, and for the tip on fragments, Royce.
