THE EMBEDDED REPORTER'S SONG
(A Song for the Iraq War)
by Lachlan Irvine
[ C][F][C] [C][F][C]
[ C] I'm an embedded re-[F]-porter, look at [C] me,
[ C] Dashing through I-[F]-raq, so daring-[G]-ly.
[ C] War is hell, and [F] war is gory,
[ C] That's okay, 'cause [C7] I'm the story.
[ F] I'm an embedded re-[G]-porter, look at [C] me, [F] me, [C] me!
[ C][F][C] [C][F][C]
[ C] I'm an embedded re-[F]-porter, it's my [C] war,
I'm [ C] Lawrence of A-[F]-rabia to the [G] core.
[ C] I stay alert both [F] night and day,
[ C] To make sure the camera [C7] points my way.
[ F] I'm an embedded re-[G]-porter, look at [C] me, [F] me, [C] me!
[ C][F][C] [C][F][C]
[ C] I'm an embedded re-[F]-porter, tried and [C] true,
No [ C] independent [F] thought will I let [G] through.
[ C] What's happening in the [F] war, you ask?
[ C] Don't I look tough in [C7] my gas mask!
[ F] I'm an embedded re-[G]-porter, look at [C] me, [F] me, [C] me!
[ C][F][C] [C][F][C]
[C] I'm an embedded re-[F]-porter, brave and [C] bold,
[C] I tell the world [F] exactly what I'm [G] told.
[C] My mouth, it seems, I [F] never close;
[C] My eyes and ears? Why, [C7] who needs those?
[F] I'm an embedded re-[G]-porter, look at [C] me, [F] me, [C] me! [C7]
[F] I'm an embedded re-[G]-porter, look at [C] me, [F] me, [C] me! [C7]
[F] I'm an embedded re-[G]-porter, look at [C] me, [F] me, [C] me! [C7]
[F] I'm an embedded re-[G]-porter, look at [C] me! [F][C]
