Car Wash For Peace

I'm so sick of all the news on T.V.
All this fighting got me going crazy
And someone wrote on my car "Please clean me"
Now I know what I got to do.
Listen everybody I¹m talking to you.

Let's have a car wash for peace.
There's trouble in the Middle East.
There will be no more wars,
Or dirty cars.
Car wash for peace.

Just remember -
We got to get together
In the parking lot across from Wall Mart Supercenter
Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Jews, C'mon all you Hindu dudes!
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!

Let's have a car wash for peace.
There's trouble in the Middle East.
Got to put down those guns,
Pick up a sponge.
Car wash for peace.

Let's have a car wash for peace.
There's trouble in the Middle East.
There will be no more wars,
Or dirty cars.
Car wash for peace.
There will be no more wars,
Or dirty cars.
Car wash for peace.

2. This may be the real reason behind Cindy Sheehan's departure from the peace movement.

3. That's an odd response. Why do you say that?

:shrug:

Many people want peace, an end to that senseless war and support
for the soldiers, the injured soldiers and their families.

6. Jimmy Fallon is very talented.

As far as protest songs, though, on a scale of 1 to 10, where "10" is Eve of Destruction, this is a 2.

However, there's an alternative interpretation of Fallon's song: Fallon may not be writing a protest song at all, but is pointing out how few of us are involved in any of the Middle East conflicts beyond watching the tube, reading the paper, or listening the radio. So, he cynically points out how our concept of making a difference is to get our car washed. If this is true (and I hope it's true), I give him an 8 for biting social commentary.

7. He's trying to raise money for injured soldiers.

That's my take on it!

8. Where in the World is Jimmy?

I wondered where Fallon went. He's fallen off the face of the earth for a couple years...
