New Blog, Lyrics

Yeah. New blog for all my random purposes.

Here, I'll add some lyrics to give this post a purpose.

Voodoo Loons - The Unabashedly Political Song
Hey
If you watch Fox News, you might as well just turn this shit off right now
'Cause I'm having a hard time how you people aren't deeply fucking concerned about the state of our affairs
And by "Our", I'm talking about the land of the supposedly free,
Home of the brave
I've been noticing lately that we have no idea how many people have been killed by OUR bombs in this "war on terror"
Yeah, War on Terror
How terrifying do you suppose it is to have a bomb dropped on your family?

Forgive me world, I'm just trying to understand
How we solve all our problems dropping bombs on your head
Excuse us, World, We're just following God's plan
Saving the world just one
war
at a time

How many kids were killed in the World Trade Center?
How many kids have we killed in Iraq or Afghanistan?
Why don't you know and how is this not wrong?
And I'm having a hard time figuring out how it's wrong to blow away babies in Oklahoma City,
Somehow it's just collateral damage when those babies have brown skin
and live in the desert

Forgive me, World, I'm just trying to understand
How we solve your problems dropping bombs on your head
Excuse us, World, We're just following God's plan
Saving the world just one
war
at a time

Meanwhile back home, We're putting poor Johnny away for 15 years for tripping the light fantastic
While his kid brother's a zombie on prescription Ritalin
And Mom's on Prozac
Dad's having martini lunches with pills to get a hard-on, grow his hair, drop 20 pounds
Yeah, war on drugs, indeed
Most people seem to agree that it's madness
that out *gigglegiggle* leaders won't vote this way for fear of retribution.
So that's to make you wonder,
Who exactly are the assholes?
Is it the guys with no guts and the bizarrely vain profession fucking us up
or is it really us as a people
'Cause yeah, we're for freedom,
Like freedom of religion
(as long as your god is the Lord Jesus Christ,
Not some heathenistic idol that, you know, the rest of the world worships)

Forgive me, World, I'm just trying to understand
How we solve your problems dropping bombs on your head
Excuse us, World, We're just following God's plan
Saving the world just one
war
at a time
