Stand Up Or Stand By

Last night U.S troops illegally in Iraq took the lives of more innocent children
but no-one seems to care
last night Israeli troops opened fire on innocent civilians with Amerikan supplied 
tanks and gun ships
but no-one seems to care
last night I saw a monkey on T.V  who thought he was the president talking in a 
language that nobody understood
but no-one seems to care
a major operation is underway to strip you of your freedom and turn you into a 
mindless clone
but no-one seems to care
if we don't stand up to stop it they will invade your homes, detain you and enslave 
you
but no-one seems to care
