The Who write anti-Guantanamo song!

[basquebromance]

this is terrific!



Down in Guantanamo
We still got the ball and chain
Down in Guantanamo
We still got the ball and chain

That pretty piece of Cuba
Designed to cause men pain
Whoa, when you light up in Cuba
You won't feel the same again

Down in Guantanamo
Whew, still waiting for the big cigars
Down in Guantanamo
Whew, still waiting for the big cigars

Been a breach of promise
Still guilty with no charge
There’s smoke in the forest
And the tumour is getting large

Down in Guantanamo
We still got the ball and chain
Down in Guantanamo
We still got the ball and chain

There's a long road to travel
For justice to make its claim
So let's bring down the gavel...Let the prisoner say his name
Mmm, still waiting for the big cigars
Still waiting
Still waiting for the big cigars

Hey, still waiting for the big cigars

The Who went south years ago. Their Super Bowl Spot was pathetic.

And who can forget Townsend's "Pictures of Billy"?

Oh, wait.

Unlawful combatant - Wikipedia


"At the First Hague Conference, which opened on 6 May 1899, there was a disagreement between the Great Powers—which considered francs-tireurs unlawful combatants subject to execution on capture—"

As a "topical" song, it's about 10 years too late.

Who ever wrote the crappy song probably waited until a republican was elected.
