You go into denial?
You start praising
Your saintly leaders?
Is this America's response?
Stick your heads in the sand?
Believe your leaders did nothing
When it was their command?

Well, that stinks too
You may deny it all
But the stench from your corruption
Will ensure that you fall
These are no petty offences
Carried out by a few
This is a major part
Of what your soldiers do

Now Delta Force are shown
As brutal sadists too
Why don't you just face it
These were not the actions of the few
The order went down from Rumsfeld
To his dirty crew
These were MI techniques
Not the grunts you stick it to

You want comforting lies
Will ANY lie now do?
In a god-fearing nation
Is the biggest liar YOU?
As you search around for solace
And a way to escape what's true
Just remember who did this
Americans. Like you.

Sing those hymns louder
Drown out reality
Switch on the Disney
Cover all in fantasy

You may keep repeating
'Our military are wonderful!'
And teach yourself the lie
But you won't escape for one moment
The stench when people die

Ooooooh!!! so powerful!so full of meaning! all in which i agree with TOTALLY. i watched this pirate movie, i think it was filmed (dawn of the dead) in an american cinema, obviously the audience was american, and get this, when ever anything sick happend, like a pregnant women bleeding out of her vagina cos she was turning into a zombie, the crowd cheered! They ***** roared, whenever people were getting shot, they were screaming with laughter and praising all the gore. It was sick. x
