Make... not war
incoherent mumblings by me

Make Chocolate not war
make music not war
make me a nice sweater with my name carved on the sleeves.

Make the children happy by bringing them to the park.

Let the world cry out to God in holy prayer.

Make love not war
make computers go faster
make money, make it work for u

make war go away. Make George Bush more intelligent
Make Saddam Hussien wear make up.
Make a fool of yourself, of others and of me.

Make me happy. Make you glad
Make you miss your family and learn to treasure them more
make anything but war.

Dear Christian
inspired by Eminem's Stan, also sang to the same tune

Chorus:
The trees feel cold I'm wondering why
my bed is made of wood
The morning sun shine through my window
now I can't see at all
And even if I could I must wear my specs
but nowadays got contacts
It reminds me, that it's not so bad,
it's not so bad..



Dear Christian,

I wrote but you still ain't bothered
I left my mobile, my pager, and my home phone at the corner
I sent two letters back in November, you must not remember
You were probably busy with some other important stuff or whatever
Sometimes I get work piled up till I have a fever
but anyways; forget it, what's been up? Man how's your doggy?
My bull terrier’s sick, I’m about to be lonely
If I get another puppy, guess what I'ma call he?
I'ma name her Christian
I heard about your computer crush too I'm sorry
I had a friend I couldn’t ICQ for 15 days, or 20?
I know you probably hear this regularly, but I'm your bestest friend
I even got the rare pictures you took with Di-anne
I got a drawer full of your jokes and your presents man
I like the pants you gave on my birthday too, but now I’m fat
Anyways, I hope you read this man, write me back,
or a chat, truly yours, your bestest friend
This is Dan

Chorus



Dear Christian,
you still ain't called or wrote, I hope you have a chance
I ain't mad - I just think it's irritating you don't answer friends
If you didn't wanna talk to me outside your classroom
you didn't have to, but you coulda gave some money to RESCUE
That's a Christian charity man, they take care of the poor and old
They waited in the blistering cold for you,
for hours and you just said, "No."
That's pretty meany man - you're like their only hero
They were depending on you man, they need you more than I do
I ain't that mad though, I just don't like liars too
Remember the other time in December - you said if they wait for you
you would donate more - see I'm just like them in a way
I never had a childhood neither;
I used to always steal from my friends just to eat dinner
I can relate to what you're saying in your songs
so when I have a lousy day, I drift away and sing-a-long
cause I don't really got a religion so Christian songs helps when I'm depressed
I even tried to do pray and think of what to confess
Sometimes I even think of Christ being God and still he bleeds
It's like impossible, the pain is such a sudden shock to me
See everything He says is real, and I respect Him cause He tells it
The people got jealous cause He tells the truth 24/7
But I don't know him like you know Him Christian, no one does
You don't know what it was like for people like me growin up
You gotta call me man, I'll be the bestest friend you'll ever lose
Sincerely yours, Dan -- P.S.
We should go to church together too

Chorus


Dear Mister-I'm-Too-Good-To-Call-Or-Write-My-Friends,
this'll be the last package I ever send to your address
It's been six months and still no word - I don't deserve it?
I know you got my last two letters;
I got them registered
So this is my cassette I'm sending you, I hope you hear it
I'm in my room right now, I'm smoking like a chimney
Hey Christian, I drank a cup of poison, think I would die?
You know the song by Phil Collins, "In the Air of the Night"
about that guy who coulda saved that other guy from drowning
but didn't, then Phil saw it all, then at a show he found him?
That's kinda how this is, you coulda rescued me from dying
Now it's too late - I'm on my thousandth panadol now, I'm drowsy
and all I wanted was a lousy letter or a call
I hope you know I burned all your photos on the floor
I love you Christian, we coulda sang together, think about it
You ruined it now, I hope you can't pray and you dream about it
And when you dream I hope you can't sleep and you SCREAM about it
I hope your conscience EATS AT YOU and you can't BREATHE without me
See Christian; {*screaming*} Quiet mum! I'm tryin to talk!
Hey Christian, that's my mother screamin in the hall
but I never disobeyed her, I just wanted to be good, see I ain't like you
cause if I die she’ll suffer less and get the insurance too
Well, gotta go, I'm almost reaching heaven now
Oh shoot, I forgot, how'm I supposed to send this tape out?

Chorus:


Dear Dan, I meant to write you sooner but I just been busy
You said your doggy’s sick, feeling better is she?
Look, I'm really annoyed you would call your puppy that
and here's some money for RESCUE,
I could only salvage 20 cents
I'm sorry I didn't call you outside class, I would have dissed you
Don't think I would make all that effort just to say I miss you?
And what's this thing you said about you like to sing my songs too?
I sing that for choir man,
c'mon - how tone deaf are you?
You got some problem Dan, I think you need some counseling
but not from me, I’m not qualified to listen to weirdos singing.
And what's this thing about us going to church together?
That type of news makes me not want us to meet each other
I really think you need to go to church or rather
– what I mean is go to another
I hope you get to read this letter, I just hope it reaches you in time
before you hurt yourself, I think that you'll be doin just fine
if you found a church, I'm glad you like to sing Dan but
don’t be mad! Try to understand, that I do want you as a friend
I just don't want you to be seen with a weirdo on the street
I seen this one scene on the news a couple weeks ago that made me sick
Some weirdo was at home burning up photos of his friend
and his mother was in the hall, and she was actually mentally insane
and in the room they found a tape, but they didn't say who it was to
Come to think about, his name was.. it was you
Damn!
