We've annihilated a nation now the retribution begins
|
Each day claims a life and a half dozen limbs
|
Violent backlash
|
The postwar fallout has turned into a bloodbath
|
Occupation not liberation
|
Nation building has been paved over by desperation
|
Trapped in this quagmire
|
American brutality throwing fuel on the fire
|
A sea of blood floods the occupied land
|
While the village idiot plays war in the sand
|
In the presidential sandbox he's out of harm's way
|
Protected by the privilege that allows him to play
|
That's shielded him from danger and still hides his desertion
|
And demands that those less privileged shoulder his burden
|
He'll sacrifice your life to provide his with privilege
|
Using his little toy soldiers as political leverage
|
he's got his bombs in the air and his pawns in a row
|
And thousands of broken toys buried six feet below
|
Retribution
|
His ignorant arrogance is being paid for with lives
|
Of the thousands of soldiers who fell for his lies
|
He's annihilated a nation now the retribution begins
|
Each day claims a life and a half dozen libs
|
He's sown the seeds for more hate and distrust
|
He's justified their contempt for us
|
"The Christian crusader" taking on the gutter religion
|
In the name of god he's murdered their children
|
He's a warmongering coward who's got blood on his hands
|
He sent his toys thousands of miles to draw a line in the sand
|
Now there's thousands of lines all illustrated in chalk
|
Slaughtered and maimed in what they were told would be a cakewalk
|
Retribution
|
His ignorant arrogance is being paid for with lives
|
Of the thousands of soldiers who fell for his lies
|
He's annihilated a nation now the retribution begins
|
Each day claims a life and a half dozen limbs
|
He claims to be fighting the war against terror and winning
|
But we haven't' seen anything yet this is just the beginning
|
He invaded their land for alleged terrorist involvement
|
Now that land's become a breeding ground for actual
|
Recruitment
|
Where they're kidnapping foreigners and cutting off heads
|
This is the extremism that our brutality's bred
|
This is Bush's idea of making us safer
|
Escalating the violence and inviting more danger
|
Our presence in the middle east will always be resented and hated
|
Those occupied aren't so easily placated
|
They see first hand the brutality and abuse
|
They don't have the situation spoon-fed to them by corporate news
|
They hear the cries of their children after we've severed their limbs
|
They see American soldiers torturing and killing civilians
|
How do we apologize to these children that we mutilated in error?
|
If we had to look in their eyes would we be able to look in the mirror?
|
Retribution
