Lyrics

United Abominations

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.

Within striking distance from Ground Zero

Sits a smoldering international cauldron

The United Abominations as it were

Born to prevent wars

It froze in the face of disaster

And stood silent while terrorization to hostage of the world

In a mire of hypocrisy

The U.N. ignores sex crimes by its blue helmets

And enables terrorism

So in the end it's failed

And the U.N. is where our so-called friends get to stab us in the back

And we pay 22% of their tab to host our enemies here at home

Ambassadors from countries enjoy otherwise known as a catastrophe

Enjoy Diplomatic immunity living in Manhattan

While their children are turned into prostitutes

It's a complete and utter disgrace

A blot on the face of humanity

And they get away with it

Poverty in their kitchens

Held hostage by oil-for-food

Yet their own plates are full off the fat of their lands

There's no blood on their hands, right Kojo?

They promised to tell the truth

Without leaving a fingerprint, but

They will lose the UN one way or another

The victim, I fear will be us, sisters and brothers

The UN is right; you can't be any more un

Than you are right now, the UN is undone

Another mushroom cloud, another smoking gun

The threat is real, the Locust King has come

Don't tell me the truth; I don't like what they've done

It's payback time at the United Abominations

A grave and gathering danger

The decision to attack

Based on secret intelligence it'll take years

I fear to undo the failings in Iraq

You may bury the bodies

But you can't bury the crimes only

Fools stand up and really lay down their arms

No, not me, not when Death lasts forever

The UN is right; you can't be any more un

Than you are right now, the UN is undone

Another mushroom cloud, another smoking gun

The threat is real, the Locust King has come

Don't tell me the truth; I don't like what they've done

It's Payback time at the United Abominations

The UN writes resolution after resolution

And has become irrelevant through inaction and totalitarian paralysis

Order, order!

Ha! There is no such thing as order

Larry, it's true

Reports confirm today that the United Nations has officially closed its doors forever

Well, I just don't see what all the fuss is

Because they don't do anything anyway, do they?

The UN is right; you can't be any more un

Than you are right now, the UN is undone

Another mushroom cloud, another smoking gun

The threat is real, the Locust King has come

Don't tell me the truth; I don't like what they've done

It's Payback time at the United Abominations

The UN writes resolution after resolution

And has become irrelevant through inaction and totalitarian paralysis

Order, order!

Ha! There is no such thing as order

Larry, it's true

Reports confirm today that the United Nations has officially closed its doors forever

Well, I just don't see what all the fuss is

Because they don't do anything anyway, do they?

The U.N. is right; you can't be any more "un"

Than you are right now, the U.N. is undone

Another mushroom cloud, another smoking gun

The threat is real, the Locust King has come

Don't tell me the truth; I don't like what they've done

It's payback time at the United Abominations

NATO invaded Yugoslavia to end ethnic cleansing, there was no U. N

The U.S. invaded Afghanistan after 9/11, there was no U. N

Saddam Hussein violated 17 U.N. resolutions; The U.N. was asked to join the

War in Iraq. The U.S. invaded, Ha! There was no U. N

Libya bombed a discotheque in Berlin killing Americans, there was no U. N

Iran funds Hamas, and attacked the U.S. in the

Seventies, there was no stinking U. N

Facing War without end, looking into the future, there was no more U. N
