Wow. Great, just great. Thanks and good work! to whoever did this. It was also a very sweet, and powerful, touch to have the clips of John Lennon woven in at the end. Just great, great stuff! “War makes them rich men, guns make them rich men, missiles make them rich men too.” Just love it. “They invest all their money in stocks and bonds…” The lyrics are superb. Performed to the tune of “Baby, you’re a rich man” by The Beatles.

“War Makes Them Rich Men”
This video about the military industrial complex and war profiteering is a parody of “Baby You’re A Rich Man” by The Beatles. It ends with clips from the film “How I Won The War”.

Although you need to SEE this video for the visual content, as near as I can make out, the lyrics are like this:
How does it feel to be, into war profiteering? Now that you know the creeps you are, How sick do you want to be? Since you have come so very far, As far as I can x??xx foresee How does it feel in the, military-industrial complex? How often have you sinned there? Often enough to know What good is peace when you are there? Nothing, it doesn’t blow War makes them rich men, guns make them rich men, missiles make them rich men, too They invest all their money in tanks and bombs Torpedoes too What a thing to do War makes them rich men, guns make them rich men, missiles make them rich men, too How does it feel to be, into war profiteering? Growing unnaturally And happy to be that way Now that you’ve signed another deal What new weapon will you guys make? War makes them rich men, guns make them rich men, missiles make them rich men, too They invest all their money in tanks and bombs Torpedoes too What a thing to do War makes them rich men, guns make them rich men, missiles make them rich men, too War makes them rich men, guns make them rich men, missiles make them rich men, too War makes them rich men, guns make them rich men, missiles make them rich men, too War makes them rich men, guns make them rich men, missiles make them rich men, too
