Fourth of July: You lied
It is the Fourth of July today. Many people here, in the US, are sending greeting cards to each other on this day. I noticed today a kind of a “greeting card” on one of the best alternative news” web sites. The song is called “You lied” and is dedicated to George W. Bush. Here are the words:
You lied
You told the world Saddam had chemical bombs
To kill us in our homes, and on our farms
You said he sent his men into the heavens
big planes crashing down, September 11You lied, You lied,
People died, When Bush liedI’ve got some questions, wipe that smirk off your face
Betraying your people, that’s a real disgrace
See I’m having a hard time finding that plane
that you said hit the Pentagon, bursting into flames
Vapourising the aircraft, didn’t leave no remains
But the bodies appear not to burn quite the sameMore lies Yeah, yeah, more lies
America died, When Bush liedAnd talk about mir’cles, did you see how they fell,
the three towers in New York, those charges worked well
Flattened out in a straight line, just like it was planned
Did you think we were so stupid that we wouldn’t understand
And it’s a pity about the folks there on Flight 93,
Just as they took back control, you blew them to smithereensYou lied, You lied
Heroes died, when Bush liedYou say Osama is living in a place you have traced
But you don’t go and get him, it seems such a waste
Could it be it’s because he’s still one of your men
A C-I-A asset just like he was then
He endorsed your campaign in a last minute pitch
Is he just one more man who has gotten quite richFrom your lies, Your lies
Freedom died, from your liesHow about those Israelis dancing to their success,
On the rooftops of Jersey, they created a mess
So you sent them back home with a slap on the wrist
Told the cops not to bother, ‘cause they don’t existIt’s a lie, You lied
Justice died, when you liedNow people are dying through your crimes in Iraq
You’ve killed more than Saddam, though you don’t care to keep track
Cause they’re only some Arabs in a faraway land
That Yahweh has promised to his chosen band
While Sharon and his cronies pull on your strings
When he opens his mouth your whole government singsHis lies, His lies
Palestinians die, With Bush liesNext time you talk to your God, I’ve got a question for him
What side is he on or does it change on a whim’
There’s a whole lot of people, suff’rin here in his name
What kind of pyscho is he that he’s playing this game
It sounds more like the devil is guiding your hand
Destruction and death are the plagues of the landof your lies, your lies
Children die, When Bush liesYou see, Mr President, there’s something amiss
Two elections you lost, but you overcame this
By rigging the vote, not counting the blacks
You’ve ensured two full terms, the dry drunk is back
And now they’re changing the laws to get you a third
The brown shirts are charging at the front of the herdof your lies, your lies
Democracy dies, When Bush liesThe question remains what can we do about this
Most people refuse to consider this list
They’re lost in illusion, can’t recognise proof
so we offer this song to all who stand for the truthNo more lies, No more lies
Must we all die, Because of your liesNo more lies, No more lies
Must we all die, Because of your liesYour lies…
You can listen to the tune of it in mp3 format here.
