Troubled times giving rise to rhymes,
Pointing out signs of the demise of spines,
Bush says we need to go straight to war,
We bleed, no need to wait to find out what for,
If you cant remember the past then you are doomed to repeat it,
We're fed Gulf of Tonkin bullshit again and we line up to eat it,
USA drunk on power like it comes out of a flagon,
But theres a new threat every hour so we circle the wagons,
This constant propaganda thundering into our heads,
Its the 1950s, theres Reds, sorry Muslims, underneath all of our beds,
Try and call for facts and you're supporting insurrection,
But get our boys attacked for naught and we'll hand you the election,
Nevermind the damage done in Cronulla and other outcomes of our fear
The beating of the war drums becomes all that we need to hear.
'Why do they hate freedom' is apparently the answer we are seeking
When we talk about 'them' it just reflects on those who are speaking
We set ourselves apart from these malevolent peasents
Who aren't smart enough to see us as benevolent parents
They are biased on gender, women anchored down like they're boats,
We dont remember that 40 years ago we didnt count female votes,
Their tribal ways are divided, causing murder and trauma,
30 years ago here we decided the natives were fauna,
We want thanks for fucking them for money like they are a civil whore,
When everyday we need to listen to Gun's and Roses' Civil War:
Look at the doubt we've wallowed, Look at the lies we've swallowed,
Look at the leaders we've followed, and I don't want to hear no more!
Suddenly we've got Patriot acts passed into law,
And thousands of dead Iraqis but hey who's keeping score,
When you have to legislate patriotism you know your heads going under,
Can't acknowledge a blunder when there's oil to plunder,
Our 'liberation's' an invasion but we'll try and deny it,
I want to be saved from my leader will George Bush provide it?
This isnt my home, my country has become foreign and strange
You won't agree with me on your own? Guess I should force Regime Change.
