David Palethorpe

I’ve taken on a dead man

I’m jealous of his fame

I’m jealous of his courage

When he went off to fight

While I stayed safe at home

Faking I was lame

I know that I’m a coward

Which is the reason why

I’ve taken on a dead man

Who I know cannot reply

So I’ve taken on a dead man

He was courageous to the end

His name is John McCain

And even in this battle

The result is just the same

The dead man he is winning-

He’s beating me once again
