Big Brother Gonna Give Moola To the Rebels

when the policeman of the world 
tells ya you’re gonna get a $100 million in aid
to help your rebel force 
overthrow the tyrant in power,
you better believe that when
your rebel force
becomes the tyrant in power,
that you’re gonna own up to that time way back when
that policeman was so nice as to give you that paper
to get you out of that squishy area
between that rock & that hard place---
and you will have to do what the big policeman says
just like the rest of the world
because you owe us &
if you don’t?
(psst…if you don’t, we will ****ing blow apart your country like Iraq, after it stopped doing what we said---don’t think for a second that you are immune)

after Syria is taken over by the rebels 
who’ve been bought & paid for by the US & its buddies,
then control of the most important oil producing country in the eastern mediterranean
will be ours,
and we “forces of the free world”
can kick back in our chair
cackling maniacally like Vincent Price at the end of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller,”
knowing that we have a stranglehold 
on yet another part of the world.
