Well I often walk down to the pub in springtime To
take the summer breeze and drink with friends But
on the 12th day of September I went down there To
the derision of all muslims and Afghans

Being assaulted here in neighborhoods around me
Personally and in their jobs and schools and homes
And the barfly's said we should send 'em all back
overseas Well will you be the one to pay for their
plane fare home

Well their women must come over here for
sanctuary's sake Being the victims of honor
killings still permissable in numerous states By
fanatical law a shamed husband can gun 'em down
you see When it's affirmed by family and state
then they have no where to flee

Well we should wipe 'em off the fuckin' map they
tell me Cause we don't know when or where they
will strike next But I say we don't know their
custom or what's happened there Being American
we've been veiled from that text

Well it's easier to manipulate a leader who needs
food and guns So we've promoted chaos over there
all along To not have to deal with an independent
stable oil power Who don't need us or could tell
us so long

And every time there's a faction with potential to
out sell We profiteer 'em full of guns and
missiles and so go out and kill We supported Iran
and Iraq and Afghanistan oh dread Kids with guns
starving to death if they get near you you're dead

Oh take me away o'er the country side With no
natural resource or bombs or peering eyes Away
from the double standards practiced on both sides
Oh please my noble statesmen make this over

We've empowered leaders who've industrialized and
overpopulated the towns Who steal their tax money
as most jobs are taken now run by machines Our
sale of food and aid get sanctioned if they don't
sell oil cheap We starve 'em for their resource
yeah we have 'em on their knees

Well Israel's a source that does keep Arabs
fighting So we've consistently vetoed their
division in U.N. plans And we never sanction or
exclude Israel outright Despite atrocities
performed by their own hands

And S.U.V.'s keep C.E.O.'s happy 'cause they're a
status symbol and every one buys And they burn a
lot more fuel so the oil industry's happy as flies
On a shit that pollutes the air much worse then
regular auto's will And they'll keep this industry
funded no matter who must be killed

We sent soldiers and weapons to the Afghanis to
fight the occupying Russians To insure an alliance
and insure their trade for oil And the communists
fell anyway and we split breaking promises Of aid
and rebuilding and governance and left them
fighting off warlords in turmoil

And they watched as we incinerated their brothers
and sisters In Iraq now they think our policies
unfair And that we condescend and meddle in their
governments and destroy them They think oil's the
only reason why we're there

Instead of having a foreign policy for policing
others and in defence We should define it by what
we're for rather than what we're against What the
perpetrators did is punishable and clearly shows
to us That you can't subjugate others to your will
by violence and mistrust
