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
