Code Pink
(Pat Humphries Duo)

Bush and bin Laden, you think they're foes?
They're in business together. Daddy Bush knows.
The Carlyle Group, since years before,
been rakin' in billions and itchin' for more.

It's blood for oil, we know there's a link.
They say, "Code War!" We say, "Code Pink!"
It's blood for oil, we know there's a link.
They say, "Code War!" We say, "Code Pink!"

Code Pink for freedom, Code Pink for peace
Code Pink 'til hunger and war have ceased
Code Pink for women, boys, men and girls
Together, we'll make peace . . . in this world

Is Saddam really the terror they say?
We built him up through the CIA.
We paid him, we trained him, to be our "man"
When our "enemy" was not Iraq but Iran.

They feed you lies, don't want you to think.
They say, "Code Terror!" We say, "Code Pink!"
They feed you lies, don't want you to think.
They say, "Code Terror!" We say, "Code Pink!"

Code Pink for freedom, Code Pink for peace
Code Pink 'til hunger and war have ceased
Code Pink for women, boys, men and girls
Together, we'll make peace . . . in this world

Bush tried to stop us from taking the streets.
Ashcroft bugs our phones and the places we meet.
They curtail our speech, our movement, our rights,
But we won't give up without a fight!

With a wave of the flag, our liberties shrink.
They say, "Code Fear!" We say, "Code Pink!"
With a wave of the flag, our liberties shrink.
They say, "Code Fear!" We say, "Code Pink!"

Code Pink for freedom, CodePINK for peace
Code Pink 'til hunger and war have ceased
Code Pink for women, boys, men and girls
Together, we'll make peace . . . in this world

They say, "Code Orange!" We say, "Code Pink!"
They say, "Code Fear!" We say, "Code Pink!"
They say, "Code Terror!" We say, "Code Pink!"
They say, "Code War!" We say, "Code Pink!"
They say, "Code Powell!" We say, "Code Pink!"
They say, "Code Rumsfeld!" We say, "Code Pink!"
They say, "Code Cheney!" We say, "Code Pink!"
They say, "Code Bush!" We say, "Code Pink!"

Code Pink for freedom, Code Pink for peace
Code Pink 'til hunger and war have ceased
Code Pink for women, boys, men and girls
Together, we'll make peace . . .

Code Pink for freedom, Code Pink for peace
Code Pink 'til hunger and war have ceased
Code Pink for women, boys, men and girls
Together, we'll make peace . . . in this world

Together, we'll make peace
Together, we'll make peace
Together, we'll make peace
They say, "Code War!" We say, "Code Pink"
