Bushwar

Bang bang go the bombs in the marketplace the little girl cries with blood on her face the rubble and dust never settles at all and another student goes and shoots up a school why is it I can't put a face on freedom the first casualty of war is the truth so they say and how true is that quote it's the innocent that pay and I don't understand why you voted for him and you wonder why the world hates you where are the weapons of mass destruction where is Osama and why did you say you don't spend too much time looking for him is he not the reason why you begun invading countries in the first place or was it oil oh but at least you killed Saddam bang bang go the guns in the desert the innocent child cries for her mother is that what you call liberation shock and awe is it true you said there ought to be limits to freedom you should be ashamed of yourself
