Duct Tape Blues

NOW IT'S SYRIA? GOD GIVE ME A BREAK!

It is the same refrain
with young men ready to fight
We have already caused death and misery for enough people, here
it is time to move this sucker next door

What are a few more dead bodies that the nation won't see
The TV stations sanitize the brutality of this war
so, the nation has no compunction about following along
keep the american people in the dark
make war like an action film without any remorse
without the dead children, ruined families, or any human misery
this way we can sleep at night and join the reverie
Support our troops we all say, but do we support all the killing
that is done in the Bush name?

This week Bagdad next week Damascus, then more
tanks keep on rolling, more lives to claim
It's Ok people, don't you see, we need to kill them to free them
That's Bush's decree

One day in the future you will look back and see
we all went along like gathered sheep for the sheppard to shear
Were were we for the innocents living in fear?
We were at home watching war on our large screen TV
Living vicariously through those on the scene
Eating sand, ducking bullets and eating mre's
How shallow and empty all our lives must all be
that we don't think of others that are not just like we.
