My personal, extraordinarily liberal point of view comes out in a non ranting form.
My former heroes turn to dust
Complete dedication a must
I am drowning in a sea
Of our regime’s mendacity
All the sweat and toil, spilling blood for oil… Oh please God help me
Think of bombs in neighborhoods
All to gain monetary goods
Free speech is fading fast
All around the bombs blast
All the sweat and toil, spilling blood for oil… Oh please God wake me
Everybody turns from me
Blind faith in the military
They say I don’t support the troops
Better home than killed in groups
Now this world has gone out the door… Oh please God take me

Corruption
Has taken the peace
Stolen the oil
Stolen my rights
Stolen our choice
Pulling the strings
Just collateral damage
No more diplomacy
