THESE LIES (THAT LAUNCH OUR WARS) Bombs and Napalm didn’t stop them. The Viet Cong weren’t playing Dominoes. They just kept on fighting ‘til they won And drove the GIs from their homes. While spin-doctors we gave power Made up our enemies: The red scare became the holy grail For our munitions factories. These Lies That Launch our Wars Greed and Power are the score To These Lies We’re Killing For. And where Tigris meets Euphrates No mass weapons, no 911 tie-- Just world leaders trading blood for oil And people on both sides that died. The spin doctors we give power And mullahs hiding in their mosques Preach a rhetoric of hate and fear-- See how a human race is lost-- These Lies That Launch our Wars Greed and Power are the score To These Lies We’re Killing For. |
