For over fifty years this country has submerged the world into shit
|
and now that we¡¯ve been attacked, we¡¯re full of disbelief and rage
|
but how can we possibly be surprised when all of these years
|
we¡¯ve been just fucking asking for it
|
What did we expect when we manipulate the world economy?
|
What did we expect when we intimidate with our war technology?
|
What did we expect when we train terrorists if it¡¯s in our interests?
|
What did we expect when we install puppet dictators to safeguard our investments?
|
Who¡¯s really to blame for this senseless slaughter?
|
This country usually gets away with murder
|
And now that it¡¯s come back to haunt us how do we react?
|
Our leaders try to convince us that this was an unprovoked attack
|
But a day doesn¡¯t go by when we don¡¯t do the same
|
This country¡¯s foreign policy is just as much to blame
|
as those who have left the thousands of dead
|
by following the example of violence that America ¡¯s led
|
What did we expect when our sanctions result in starving millions?
|
What did we expect when we anger the world by bombing civilians?
|
What did we expect when we police the world with our armed forces?
|
What did we expect when we strip the world of its natural resources
|
Who¡¯s really to blame for this senseless slaughter?
|
This country usually gets away with murder
|
And now that it¡¯s come back to haunt us how do we react?
|
Our leaders try to convince us that this was an unprovoked attack
|
But a day doesn¡¯t go by when we don¡¯t do the same
|
this country¡¯s foreign policy is just as much to blame
|
as those who have left the thousands of dead
|
by following the example of violence that America ¡¯s led
|
What did we expect when we tread on more foreign soil than any other armies?
|
What did we expect when we exploit slave labor in third world countries?
|
What did we expect when we monopolize the world market with our corporations?
|
What did we expect when our rich own more than most of the world¡¯s population
