The War in Iraq.
Strata - The New National Anthem
O' Say, can you see?
By the dawn's early light we get 'em young, give 'em guns and ship 'em off to fight
While the rocket's red glare is keeping everyone scared they say,
"just relax - put your trust in me and you can sit back and watch the war on your screen."
The country's run by lunatics,
they're picking up their pens,
writing themselves into Revelation,
"this is how it's gonna end!"
Well, I tried hard to bite my tongue, like a good American but
they recruited my little brother and they're shipping off my friends
Broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
you know those who stand to gain are not the ones who sacrifice
watching bombs burst in air from a comfortable chair, they just say,
"in God we trust, and God trusts in greed, yeah as long as they never show real blood on TV."
I'm not sorry if this makes you mad,
in fact I hope this wakes you up 'Cause you'll never see what's going on with your eyes so tightly shut!
There are too many unanswered questions,
from the towers in New York
to the lies leading up to another corporate sponsored war
Well I'll support the troops by asking what they're really fighting for and
I think that's more patriotic than flying a flag from my front porch
Come on, let's go out and start a fight!
'Cause you know two wrongs always make a right
Come on, let's go out and start a fight!
'Cause you know two wrongs never make a right
Numbe one. If you are a Bush supporter you are not going to want to read this entry any longer so leave. K. So the war in iraq, I am totally against it. "Why?", you ask? Well let me tell you. Why the fuck are our AMERICAN troops over there fighting for IRAQI freedom? Yea, there was 9/11 but thats not the point. We should be looking for Osama Bin Laden. Now, please explain to me how the fuck we caught Sadam Hussein and we cant catching that fucker Bin Laden? Hmmm? Let me tell you. I believe that it is because Bush is so fucking caught up in his oil, thats why! The day 9/11 happened, Osama's family was in the US. All flights were grounded except one to get them back to Afghanistan. What the fuck is up with that!? 6 years later, here we are. So many US troops have died. A tour over there used to be 6 months. They then extended it to 9 months, then 12 months, and now 15 months. The military can't even guarentee that you will be there for exactly 15 months. You may end up being there longer. So many young men have died in vain because it wasn't for American freedom. This may sound harsh but Fuck them over there! They were fine with the way government was. Iraqi's have even said that they DONT want a democracy. So again, why are we over there if they have said it themselves they dont want a democracy? O-I-L. Bush doesn't give a fuck about Iraqi freedom or this country. He is only worried about his goddamn money from oil. This is a very random entry for me but Strata just inspired me to write about this subject. If you dont listen to them, you should start. Go Buy their new cd.
