Two men dressed like mujahadeen
In Arab garb from head to toe
Shot Iraqi policemen at the scene
The Killers? SAS men don’t you know
The poodle press was out in force
Peddling the army’s story of course
An heroic rescue attempt had failed
To save assassins the police had nailed
The Daily Mail red in tooth and nail
Followed by both BBC and ITV
Began peddling a fictional tale
Of Soldiers fighting for Iraq to be free
Iraqi people judging democracy
Under attack moved to fight for liberty
Civilians all they surrounded the tanks
Home made missiles in their ranks
They rose like lions out of slumber
They rose in innumerable number
With sticks and stones and molotovs
They indicated they’d had enough
Murderers in the SAS
Should face trial they did protest
Yet no journalist could profess
The truth of British soldiers going west
No one listens any more
The truth a casualty of war
Whatever happened to the rule of law,
As soldiers tore down that prison door?
An operation by special forces gone wrong
Yet the media’s hymn sheets were the army’s song
Blaming insurgents for assassination attempts
While journalists covered the backs of our gents
Military intelligence
Oxymoronic insurgents
Within our tent ring fence
‘Freedom.’ Do they think we’re dense?
Western Police States are becoming the norm
And before you all laugh with scorn
Consider what freedoms have been torn
from you to render us all into pawns
So celebrate those Iraqi insurgents
As they fought for the rule of law and order
A battle now lost whilst our army pre-empts
The truth ever reaching our border.
They rose like lions out of slumber
They rose in innumerable number
With sticks and stones and molotovs
They indicated they’d had enough
As nonchalantly we sup our tea
While NGO’s like Amnesty
and Liberty do all agree
To blindly watch while freedom’s tree
Is raped and not one MP
Speaks out of the impropriety
Perpetrated by soldiers of the ‘free’.
Iraqi citizens know our hypocrisy
