Poem
Back in the day the states gave them the weapons Before media reality, before we were threatened So we send off our men to avenge for 9-11 The event was tragic, but so is getting even A change of heart from a country that doesn’t care If the man down the street is down to his underwear His kids can be starving, but those kids aren’t yours Pop the money for defence, pop the money for the towers Why don’t you think for yourself when the telly screams peril Bombings used to be more, the IRA bombed several London wasn’t screaming, didn’t panic like fools They honoured their dead but didn’t brainwash their schools There wasn’t this terror when K.K.K. were lynching the black But it’s a right to bear arms, the NRA’s got your back Shooting each other, you think you’re ruling the world If it’s lead by example then this story had to be told Without those planes there’d be no invasion No racists using power in mass people persuasion Good people afraid, because of Islamic descent Stupid people hating as perspectives are bent If you want to generalise then I’ve got more respect For black America, than what white-trash have wrecked Whole countries are dieing and it takes two towers Before you look up and acknowledge your power You’re killing the people you’re trying to save Good intentions are lost,when your soldiers aren’t trained They rape and they pillage, even if it’s only a few Can you imagine what would happen if they did it to you Nearly forty million live below the poverty line Just in your country, more than the population of mine His kids can be starving but those kids aren’t yours Pop the money for defence, pop the money for the towers You could be feeding yourselves but politics rules A stable economy fooling the fools America would fall the moment it cared for the poor Your capitalist Jesus damning them all The have-nots are nothing, and it was no coincidence That Katrina was ignored and wasn’t an incident Until your government realised other countries were watching Chanel seven lifting people out before a single soldier was marching U.S. of A. – super power or not Your people are suffering of an internal rot There’s no safety or welfare, it’s not strong it’s slack And the whole world’s laughing behind you’re back You're ruled by fear, the majority can't think for itself Free speech was lost the morning the news hit the twelth //Pop money for defence, pop the money for the towers...//
