By Johnnys Dad

They gave my boy a gun,

loaded with uranium.

war complex profits rise

you filthy rotten scum!

 

Our leaders lie and deceive,

to feed their corporate friends greed,

pre-emtive war is what we need

while our veteran’s kids are born with no feet

 

Our children will cry,

"what have you done?

You believed a lie?

Now look what has come"

 

Propaganda blows,

agitation grows,

blood and oil flows

the right wing knows

 

Our children will cry,

"what have you done?

You believed a lie?

Now look what has come"

 

Politicians working for you and me?

Neo-cons and mega money

Now we’re voting electonically

PLEASE WAKE UP!

 

Fascistic screws tightening down,

Corporations control your town,

Climate change is....

just around the corner....

 

They won’t spend a dime

destroying the environment is no crime

they got a place in theCayman Ils

you filthy rotten scum

 

How is the air?

How is the ice?

Oceans are diluting,

but why stop polluting?

 

They won’t spend a dime

destroying the environment is no crime

they got a place in the Cayman Ils

you filthy rotten scum

 

They gave my boy a gun

said he’d get an education

they gave my boy a gun

loaded it up with uranium
