J and I helped his younger brother with a Social Studies assignment a little bit ago. It was on Sashimi Night, so that’s my excuse for the delay in posting the song. (I don’t know what that means.)

We had some options for which assignment to complete:

1. Strengthen democratic ideologies in the Laos/Cambodia/Vietnam region
2. Persuade the US government to cover post-traumatic stress syndrome under veteran’s health care benefits
3. Write a rock and roll song

We chose the tougher of the three and wrote a rock song. Proof that this is powerful is measured in how much Communists hate rock and roll. Communists hate books, rock and roll, and Steve Martin. (No matter how much those mop-topped hooligans will try to convince you of otherwise.)

I had contemplated a parody of Justin Timberlake’s “Bringing Siam Back”, to fit Vietnam instead of Thailand, but thought better of it. (What with our previous experiences pillaging.)

Here are G’s lyrics:


And here’s the song:
Running in Fear

For it being a song for a G, I don’t think we had a sufficient amount of waving our hands in the air like we just don’t care.
