Well I often walk down to the pub in springtime |
|
To take the summer breeze and drink with friends |
|
But on the 12th day of |
|
September |
|
I went down there |
|
To the derision of all muslims and |
|
Afghans Being assaulted here in neighborhoods around me |
|
Personally and in their jobs and schools and homes |
|
And the barfly' s said we should send ' em all back overseas |
|
Well will you be the one to pay for their plane fare home |
|
Well their women must come over here for sanctuary' s sake |
|
Being the victims of honor killings still permissable in numerous states |
|
By fanatical law a shamed husband can gun ' em down you see |
|
When it' s affirmed by family and state then they have no where to flee |
|
Well we should wipe ' em off the fuckin' map they tell me |
|
Cause we don' t know when or where they will strike next |
|
But I say we don' t know their custom or what' s happened there |
|
Being American we' ve been veiled from that text |
|
Well it' s easier to manipulate a leader who needs food and guns |
|
So we' ve promoted chaos over there all along |
|
To not have to deal with an independent stable oil power |
|
Who don' t need us or could tell us so long |
|
And every time there' s a faction with potential to out sell |
|
We profiteer ' em full of guns and missiles and so go out and kill |
|
We supported |
|
Iran and Iraq and |
|
Afghanistan oh dread |
|
Kids with guns starving to death if they get near you you' re dead |
|
Oh take me away o' er the country side |
|
With no natural resource or bombs or peering eyes |
|
Away from the double standards practiced on both sides |
|
Oh please my noble statesmen make this over |
|
We' ve empowered leaders who' ve industrialized and overpopulated the towns |
|
Who steal their tax money as most jobs are taken now run by machines |
|
Our sale of food and aid get sanctioned if they don' t sell oil cheap |
|
We starve ' em for their resource yeah we have ' em on their knees |
|
Well Israel' s a source that does keep |
|
Arabs fighting |
|
So we' ve consistently vetoed their division in |
|
U. N. plans |
|
And we never sanction or exclude |
|
Israel outright |
|
Despite atrocities performed by their own hands |
|
And S. U. V.' s keep |
|
C. E. O.' s happy ' cause they' re a status symbol and every one buys |
|
And they burn a lot more fuel so the oil industry' s happy as flies |
|
On a shit that pollutes the air much worse then regular auto' s will |
|
And they' ll keep this industry funded no matter who must be killed |
|
We sent soldiers and weapons to the |
|
Afghanis to fight the occupying |
|
Russians To insure an alliance and insure their trade for oil |
|
And the communists fell anyway and we split breaking promises |
|
Of aid and rebuilding and governance and left them fighting off warlords in turmoil |
|
And they watched as we incinerated their brothers and sisters |
|
In Iraq now they think our policies unfair |
|
And that we condescend and meddle in their governments and destroy them |
|
They think oil' s the only reason why we' re there |
|
Instead of having a foreign policy for policing others and in defence |
|
We should define it by what we' re for rather than what we' re against |
|
What the perpetrators did is punishable and clearly shows to us |
|
That you can' t subjugate others to your will by violence and mistrust |
