I tried to go clean from protesting but I’m a recidivist
\nmy government behaving with unlimited wickedness
\nin the interest of peace is how a liar wages war
\nthen clamors for more.
\nI wish we had elections every day
\nwave the ballot in the air like a sign when I say
\nthat democracy delivered by the bomb and the gun
\nis terror elsewhere in the world I’m from<\/p>\n

do you cheer for the once-and-for-all of an enemy
\nwhose hand our man don was on in ’83 [click<\/a>]
\nbut who now exemplifies all evil
\nthat’s what you get for shaking hands with people
\nwho represent the vast and sinister interests of industry
\nwe protect the free trade world, so don’t dare try to stop us
\nwe deliver them bullets and sell them their coffins<\/p>\n

and I wish that I could afford the ear of Bush the second
\nI’d ask is it your favorite philosopher who recommended
\ninvading and exterminating all who defy us,
\ncrying out justice but seeking out triumphs?
\nwasn’t your christ unbeloved of empires?
\none nailed his ass to a post; he expired!
\na terrorist, as roman evidence showed
\nput down like a retard on the death row
\nin texas, I guess “tough luck,” right George?
\nain’t that how every war gets scored?
\nbig gun wins, winner gets a free turn
\nenemy after enemy burns
\nare you listening sir? or did your mind drift
\nto the next country in your axis
\nto all the cool bomb drops you get to call
\ndelivery fresh from the 4th reich to y’all<\/p>\n
