THE EMBEDDED REPORTER'S SONG
A Song for Iraq War 2003
I'm an embedded reporter, look at me,
Dashing through Iraq so daringly.
War is hell, and war is gory,
That's okay, 'cause I'm the story.
I'm an embedded reporter, look at me, me, me!
I'm an embedded reporter, it's my war,
I'm Lawrence of Arabia, to the core;
I stay alert both night and day,
To make sure the camera points my way.
I'm an embedded reporter, look at me, me, me!
I'm an embedded reporter, tried and true,
No independent thought will I let through;
What's happening in the war, you ask?
Don't I look tough in my gas mask!
I'm an embedded reporter, look at me, me, me!
I'm an embedded reporter, brave and bold,
I tell the world exactly what I'm told;
My mouth, it seems, I never close,
My eyes and ears, why, who needs those?
I'm an embedded reporter, look at me, me, me!
