The new Star-Spangled Banner

Oh, say can you see by the white phosphorous light
that so shamefully fell as Fallujah was sleeping.

Whose planes flew overhead on those perilous nights?
O'er the desert, who watched as Iraqis died screaming?

And the white chemical glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.

Oh say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free
And the home of the brave?
