Pop composer Burt Bacharach has written his first lyrics in a career spanning nearly 50 years, expressing his disillusionment over the war in Iraq.

The 77-year-old, who wrote songs such as Walk On By with lyricist Hal David, has written a number of political songs on his latest album At This Time.

"I had to do it. This is very personal to me," he said.

2. I am really looking forward to getting that cd.

Bacharach is a gifted composer who has a marvelous way with lyrics.

And he's a liberal Democrat. Looking forward to hearing this.
