War and Worms

No, no senor
I do not want
to go to war;
for I am just a worm
all that blood and death
makes me so sick and squirm
I don't care about the Tequila
no matter what you say
I will not join you or go arriba
for the alcohol revolution
as staying underground
is simply the perfect solution
so avoiding the stupid draft
is muy bien for you and me
as it is plainly really daft
so I willll go further underground
to escape the Guerra above
with its so unnatural muerte sound
and leave you to fight on
as when it is all over
you will be dead and gone
I shall stay in my colony
and remain a pacifist
far from the violent boloney
for as you can clearly see
I am only a simple gusano
and wishes to remain esprit
besides I cannot hold a gun
as for arms or hands or legs
I fundamentally have none
so please leave me to my peace
and of your combatiendo talk
please detener, halt and cease!
