Written after watching the video of Hussein hanging.

i'm as dumb as a brick,
but didn't they give
a revenging militia..
i know i know
you don't care melissa.
when they hung saddam,
we were a shadow.
like cowards we allowed
the taunting and torture.
lent his neck some moisture
and let him drop from a
pitiful excuse
of a noose.
a political excuse
of a process.
kept it visual.
to cover ass no less.
she doesn't really care
about all this shit.
it's all about the hits
all the tracks in between,
they mean nothing to me.
nothing to her i mean
melissa how do you feel?
what are you about?
nah no no, i know,
you don't give a fuck.
what
when
show's on
shut the fuck up.
deja vu vietnam long haul
and no no no nono nooooooo
they were never wrong
made us look like fucking fools
strung along all along.
