They’re out to get us say the press
Xenophobia must rule they stress
Muslim terrorists, a fanatical horde
Threaten our existence, and lest we get bored
Just to prove the threat, another atrocity
shows blood and gore, reaps animosity
anew to stoke our patriotic paranoia
Laura Norder is the catchword name
Reverently, silently we bow to that dame
As we seek someone or other to blame
Civil Rights are surrendered in this game
Of safety first, our overriding aim
to self-protection just makes us lame
domestic animals cowering in shame
Who was responsible for the anthrax attack?
Who were the perpetrators who had the knack
To mail an airborne fungus in the post?
I will nail the bastard GW did boast
Until it became clear it was our military kin,
a steady march by the enemy within
still we point at the enemy without
WMD’s used to justify
An unjustifiable slippery war
A roar of propaganda to win
Approval for a new crusade.
Can the subtext be laid at our quest for oil
Is this why we must crucify young lives
we once held dear and surrender to fear?
Spuriously we’re told they fight
To bring justice and freedom
To save Iraqi’s from their plight
Under a tyrannical fiefdom
Armed to the teeth with electronic gizmos
What in reality gives us the right
To ask young men to die for Texaco?
