lyrics

Blow up NOVA mosque imam Anwar al-Awlaki
Drop a bomb on his son age 16 just bought a coffee
Robbed of due process these US sovereigns each stopped breathing
Cannot impede the monstrous creatures in Trump and Obama's lobby
Flip flop Sadaam before Iran Iraqi installed a Shaw
Recall it y'all please all along we want Tehran- peace!
A problems not often resolved with an offer withdrawn- a mockery
The rubicon was crossed when Washington knocked off Soleimani

A decimation
Arabian night raids
A thousand and one days

The USA will dip a ladle in the cradle of civilization if they're able
Land of fables: Cain and Abel, Canaan's rainbows

This country isn't getting any younger is it any wonder
That we must learn many suffer
War's a racket Smedley Butler
Pressing buttons in Langley: shady
Strangely it's raining crazy bombs in Somalia often on the daily
Better not upset the rotten apple cart
But pressure drop and end up getting lots of medals
Shot and killed in Special Ops
Eight hundred bases are stationed in seventy nations
Impatient await the next racist invasion or dictatorship installation
Insanely rich change the equation and take their shit

They tell me overtly political art is passé
They ask me why didn't someone try to stop the mass graves
They sell me some piece of the pie type of shit that's half baked
They model the dead men that founded this country
But fuck man they had slaves
Constantly both parties warmongers
I'm outside rapping your door knockers
Good evening I've come with the people for freedom
And we brought the guillotine, Your Honor
War funding is one place that liberals join with the far right, alright
Socialists call for the end of all wars and Israeli apartheid

Radioactive uranium added to munitions used in Iraq's dirt
I am sure twas asked first:
"Lieutenant, can that cause cancer?"
Answer: "Of course it can, sir."
Lots of white phosphorus dropping on top of a populous
Locked up inside a cage
The siege of Fallujah where we changed the rules up
Combatant meant all men of fighting age
Never could I lend support to death and torture
Metamorpho-Sisyphus belligerence is vanquished- goodbye
Savage examples aplenty I could cry
Let me tell you straight- the US state is not the good guy
Can we form antiwar movements with students and Unions?
Let's read Howard Zinn again
It matters less who is sitting in the White House
It's strikers and protesters sitting in
