"G.D.W."
By: John Doe, 11 September 2006

Hey, George Bush, if we don't look like you,
We must be Un-American, through and through.
Doesn't matter how many a year
Our ancestors and us have been living here.

If you don't speak with a good Texas drawl,
Then you're going to have to grovel and crawl.
That's what it means to be in America these days,
Too many 'Aliens', must be sub-human, in your way.

Then there was the nuclear scientist Wen-Ho Lee.
Built bombs for you in a secret facility,
Accidentally moved a file from Disk One to Disk Two,
You said it was espionage, the worst someone could do.
Put him in solitary, held him without charges,
'Cause that's how you get political mileage.

But when the head of the CIA, Deutsch-lander he,
Put secrets out for the whole world to see,
With just a slap on the wrist, he got off scot-free
Because he's a friend and agent of your hypocrisy.

It was a great day for Freedom, we recall
when the Berlin Wall did finally fall.
How is it that we Americans now celebrate
By building a huge barbed-wire Mexican border gate.

Supported by vigilantes, Texas style,
Shooting people, brown-skinned, mile after mile.
Doesn't matter whether they are citizens or not,
You don't like America being a "melting pot".

Your idea of Liberty, apply Texas Justice to all,
Especially to men in turbans and women in shawls.
Bind them, blind them, hold them at the point of a gun.
Force them to masturbate to women just for fun.

Secret prisons in foreign lands to prosecute
Enemy combatants, which they hang and electrocute.
"Special rendition", a new torture you condone
To distill the spirit out of body and bone.
Guantanamo Bay, Abu Ghraib, run by a Special Force,
"Special Intelligence", above any law but yours.
Force them into naked piles, a human Pyramid Scheme,
Run them on leashes like dogs, someone's animal dream.
"Waterboarding", a special drowning, Baptism to your God.
Grand perversion of Hollywood, but with more sex and blood.

This is your vision for Democracy on foreign soil,
Bomb them with American arms, exchange the debt for oil.
What a favorable deal for you, just like the Indians got
Trading their land for beads, blankets, and smallpox.

The War On Terror is your grand position.
You've got the "Patriot Act" to silence opposition,
Media censors get to change what we know and see,
Big business controls our life or we live in poverty.

But in the dark corners, you know what people say?
That you knew about 9/11, even before that day.
When you first heard the news, you didn't react,
A long time in planning, was it some secret pact?
To enable your hidden agenda to unfold at last,
Marching the world toward war, this war in Iraq.

The military-industrial-complex aim is clear,
To keep profits up, we need war year after year.
Got to find an excuse to blow up the old hardware
Before new contracts can be given to the profiteers.

Hey, George Bush, if we don't look like you,
We must be Un-American, through and through.
Doesn't matter how much of the world is put to waste,
You never bother to see war's human face.

As long as the dead are not your family or clan,
You don't have any feelings for the common man.
As long as your buddies are happy, you have no remorse.
For the rest of us, all you can say is "stay the course".
This is what it means to be an American these days.
Tax breaks for the wealthy, make the poor people pay.

Billionaire boys can do anything they please.
Get your C's at Harvard, you can buy the Presidency,
But your ignorance doesn't lessen the responsibility,
And you cannot erase the lessons of History.

We taught Osama Bin Laden,
To fight Russians with the Mujhadeen.
For 30 years, on and off again,
Saddam Hussein was friend or an enemy unseen.
Back in World War II, the OSS trained Ho-Chih Minh,
Which eventually allowed the War in Vietnam to begin.

Firebombing Tokyo was LeMay's first act of genocide.
In the firestorm that night, 100,000 innocents died.
Hiroshima and Nagasaki gave rise to Nixon's secret plan,
"Nuke Hanoi and Haiphong back to the Stone Age" said the man.

While our cities battled problems with Asian heroin,
Veterans battled cancer from Agent Orange poison.
Noriega, on the CIA Payroll, then brought us cocaine,
A new scourge for our children to burn up their brains.

I think I'm beginning to understand the world you see,
How you want us to live for the next century.
If your skin is brown, your rights we'll deny,
If you have AIDS in Africa, we'll let you starve and die.

If your skin is yellow, it needs some napalm.
Iranian electricity deserves a nuclear bomb.
This is how you plan to make the world safe,
But just for people of your wealth and race.

You brand those who oppose you with Hitler's name,
Using the same "Big Lie" tactic that was Hitler's game.
A media package, wrapped in the Flag of God,
Seven Wars for the Holy Land, just waiting for your nod.
Last one is Saudi Arabia, after Egypt and Pakistan,
Iran and Syria. Second, Iraq. First, Afghanistan.

With a soul of black, and a heart of ice
Your actions are worthy of an Antichrist.
Bringer of War, in the name of Peace,
You are the Shepherd who kills His Sheep.

Seems that everywhere we go,
Infinite war is the road we know.
Death and destruction is what we make,
Armageddon seems to be your true faith.

Hey, George Bush, if we don't look like you,
We must be Un-American, through and through.
Doesn't matter how many of our boys are dying,
As long as Big Oil and Halliburton stocks are rising.

Doesn't matter that Democracy's been here 200 years,
You've got a media machine that will play on our fears,
Get us to surrender freedoms, and our right to say:
"The Fattest War Chest will still carry Election Day".
