Fuzzy Stories

 They give us fuzzy stories on why they start a war
 To us, it seems quite bizarre
 As bombs fall from the sky
 They feed us another lie

 They gave us "weapons of mass destruction" before
 Then came the blood and gore
 It was really quite appalling
 But the bombs kept falling

 So another country we'll rearrange
 and call it regime change
 A story on the news will manage
 To talk about collateral damage

 As missiles go sailing by
 Innocent people will die
 And as their story blurs
 Those in charge will tend to their heel spurs
