Party with Saddam
Millions of times the earth has spun
We must get dizzy going 'round the sun 
It ain't no wonder why minds are gone 
Can we help them understand 

It's like I need a place to run 
And jump off buildings just for fun 
Serve up my flesh before it's done 
Politicians need a hand 

We won't see the end 
If we party till our colors blend 
Party till Saddam's your friend 
Never drop a bomb again 
All right 
We can break the chains 
If we party like our blood's the same 
Party till we lose our aim 
Never shoot a gun again 

The monsters live and children die 
The blanket snatched from over their eyes 
We're all to blame when we stand by 
But we don't know what to say 
They want a fight and dare us to try 
And in result the whole world dies 
Then who'll be left to answer why 
There's got to be a better way 

We won't see the end 
If we party till our colors blend 
'cause the Bush's and Bin Laden's are friends 
Never drop a bomb again 
All right 
We can break the chains 
If we party like our blood's the same 
Party till we lose our aim 
Never shoot a gun again 

Millions of dollars are spent on a piece 
Of what I don't know, 
but it sure ain't peace of mind 

If we keep fighting then war won't cease 
Until all have died they'll fight back every time 
We'll get together and have some fun then life is won
In that there is no crime
Real peace don't cost a dime

Too mucha blood them a spilling 
Too mucha life them a stealing 
They come together for a deal 
Super power, super money, super killing 
A time for true emancipation 
Don't want no pseudo-liberation 
A time for evil get replaced 
So we love and make it push in outer space 

Hey, we won't see the end 
P-P-P-Party till our colors blend 
Party till Saddam's your friend 
Never drop a bomb again 

Can ya imagine Arnie partying with Tookie 
Smoking and drinking till they lose their cookies 
Crips are cousins, Bloods are brothers 
Family can love one another 
We're gonna party with Pinochet 
He gonna sing the karaoke 
We're gonna party with Mobutu 
He's a lindy hopping dancing fool 
Party with Condaleeza Rice, now 
She like to shake it all night y'all 
Party up with Tony Blair 
Throw your hands up in the air 
Party with Fidel Castro 
He like to do it real low and slow 
Party with Vladimir Putin 
He like to breakdance and headspin 
Party with Kim Jong-Il 
He got the North Korean down-home feel 
But let's not forget Hitler 
We gonna pull up Rwanda 
We gonna bring 'em all for dinner 
To meet mama and papa 
Ma ma ma you gotta gotta gotta party 
Party with Saddam y'all 
Party to the end y'all 
You gotta party 
Oh yeah, all right


Party With Saddam

Celebrating 25 groundbreaking years, FISHBONE has been trailblazing their way through the history of American Ska, Rock Fusion and (so-called) Black Rock since starting their professional career in Los Angeles burgeoning, Alternative Rock music scene of the mid- 1980s. Their sound has often been imitated, but never duplicated. They have toured worldwide with such bands as the Beastie Boys, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Roots, Les Claypool/Primus, Fela Kuti, The Dead Kennedys and many more. Angelo Moore’s ability to combine thought-provoking, humorous social commentary with FISHBONE’s brethren’s frenzied, up-tempo music and frantic, euphorically entertaining stage show has cultivated their undisputed reputation as one of the best live acts in music history.

Now in their 25th year of composing, creating, recording, releasing and performing original music together, mass critical appeal appears to be returning to the band, fueled by their critically acclaimed full-length feature documentary; Everyday Sunshine: The Story of Fishbone. Narrated by Laurence Fishburne, the film earned LA Weekly’s Critic’s Choice Award at the Los Angeles Film Fest in 2010, has been called “effortlessly Entertaining” (Variety), “Brilliant and Groundbreaking” (Pop Matters), and hailed as “more than a documentary about rock ‘n’ roll. It’s a documentary about the American spirit and one that shows the life of one of its most influential creative forces.” (Encore Magazine). 

The documentary features celebrity testimonials from an A-list cast of rock icons such as Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers), who calls the band “an important musical institution” and “the band that gave us the inspiration to be a band” by Gwen Stefani (No Doubt). The film also includes similar admiration from the likes of Perry Farrell (Jane’s Addition), Jerry Cantrell (Alice In Chains) Rob Trujillo (Metallica), Questlove (The Roots), Chuck D (Public Enemy), Tim Robbins (Grammy Winning Actor) and many more. The film not only highlights the bands substantial legacy in contemporary music of all forms, but also the struggles, adversity, and inner turmoil that has surrounded the bands career. In late 2011, Everyday Sunshine will premiere its theatrical and DVD releases, and also has broadcast release interest from VH1, Showtime, and PBS to name a few. It has also opened up the possibility of, and widely rumored and sought after reunion performance with all original members of this legendary band.

To date, FISHBONE still continues to tour all over the world, still turning heads at some of the world’s most noteworthy festivals such as Fuji Rock Festival in Tokyo, Japan (2010), Wakarusa in Ozark, AK (2010) and Sunset Junction in Los Angeles, CA (2010). This year, the band recently completed a national U.S. tour with Slightly Stoopid and Dumpstaphunk;
and a sold-out SXSW showcase with Wu-Tang Clan and Mobb Deep. In addition, the band just completed an Australian tour featuring performances with Trombone Shorty and George Clinton, highlighted by a performance at Byron Bay Blues Festival. This summer the band will return to Europe and Japan; and is slated to release a brand new EP end of the
year. For more information, visit www.fishbone.net or www.facebook.com/fishbonemusic.
