Lyrics
The Empire Strikes Iraq
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
More bombs dropped on the first morning
Then in all of operations desert storm
Unprovoked. I sit alone in fear
Who's rifles start as pens
and end as smart bombs upon innocence
It's difference in culture not intelligence
Please sign here
Broken audio as carpet bombs explode
I wish all the dead children could be delivered and
Buried on the White House lawn
That's imposed freedom's highest cost
Maybe for once a price we won't forget
I ask, was this our Vietnam?
If this is freedom then what's with all of the dissent
Da-na-na-na-NA [x2]
If this is freedom then what's with all the piles of dead
Da-na-na-na-Na
