Time For Me To Die

With apologies to REO Speedwagon, on the occasion of Obama rescinding benefits for WWII service of Alaska Territorial Guard.

I’ve been around for you
I damn nearly drowned for you
But I just can't get any relief
I’ve served with great pride for you
I’ve toiled and plied for you
But you still make me feel like a thief

You got me stealin' your funds away
Cause you just won’t give ‘em
Pissing the years away
And I can't relive ‘em
I make you mock
And you make me cry
You believe it's time for me to die

They said we’d work it out
They said that they had no doubt
That deep down you knew that we were due
Oh, but I'm tired of holding on
To a feeling I know is gone
I do believe that I have been screwed

I've had enough of the falsehoods
Of a one-way relation
Enough of ingratitude
And the Vineyard vacations
I make you mock
And you make me cry
You believe it's time for me to die

{refrain} Time for me to die
Oh, you’d like to see me set free
Time for me to die
Just sayin', that's how you’d like it to be
One last insult with your kiss goodbye
Guess it’s time for me to die

Obama, you think it’s...
{refrain}

It’s time for me to die

UPDATE: Ace is on this travesty, too, and Nice Deb helps put it into context.
