Another one of my rants

I stand in lines waiting my turn

I never cause any trouble

I feel safe and sound and warm

Living in my plastic bubble

I pay that one extra buck

‘Cause I know it’s worth it

But sometimes I wish I didn’t give a fuck

‘Cause it’s not bloody worth it.

My money helps make the weapons we need

To fight those damn backward rebels

I watch the six o’ clock news to see them bleed

Blast them to hell to make sure they’re on the level

Give me beer and satellite television

And Monday Night Football

Give me homeland security decisions

And foreign policy loopholes

Shall we carry out a bombing campaign?

Shall we give them freedom of choice?

Shall we fuck up and then complain again?

Shall we slaughter 100,000 more boys?

Shall we impose our values with our guns?

Shall we make freedom compulsory and binding?

Shall we mishandle some government funds?

Shall we setup a committee to analyze our findings?

Give them war on Iraq, anthrax and napalm

Give them IMF, the World Bank and the UN

Give them whatever they need to stay calm

Let’s start putting this show on the road again

You know it’s a hit, you’ve seen the figures

We must be doing something right

No we never ever pull the trigger

But we make sure YOUR hand is tight

On the handle and ready to fire

One more bullet

And if you don’t we’ll just have someone else hired

So cool it!
