[bodytext] => Call me cynical but... Maybe this is how they have it figured If terrorist attacks escalate Then we can say how important is the fight If attacks scale down Then it just proves how much we were right Oh, you don‘t think politics works like that They wouldn‘t be THAT cynical! Well, you know, I wonder... Their approach CAN be that clinical Read about Kissinger and Vietnam The Paris peace talks had almost suceeded Our Henry wanted a „BETTER“ deal MANY more died from that one act In Cambodia a conscience would have heeded But with politicians you must take care Don‘t grant them feelings that are fair They work under quite different rules And they depend on us remaining fools Look at the way things are panning out When will the NEXT explosion HIT? Does this make Bush RIGHT or WRONG? Where you stand hangs on where you SIT In dangerous times we see so clear All sides drawing battle lines of fear All demanding THEY are right for sure And using hard blackmail as allure And just as in bloody days of old They use fantasies of men so bold Do YOU know where to draw the line? Or are the New Fascists with you just fine?
