If it wasn't for Heros

Contributed by twinkletoes on Monday, 10th March 2003 @ 10:00:00 AM in AEST
Topic: oops



They lined up in numbers one two three
they died in gas, four five six

MILLION

America pulled out Australia did too
Poe Pot did his work seven eight nine

MILLION

Do we close our eyes or take up a fight
do sit on our hands or show them what's right?

These monsters of death the hordes from hell
who know nothing of desency nor an angel's sweet bell.

They carve and they cut their small victim's throats
or shoot them for fun or drive them to boats.

The women of Taliban, death by the stone
for nothing but love they fall there alone.

Who is the butchers, who's the hell maker
who looks away who fears the maker?

I watch from the side I know what is right
nine one one isn't what'll make me take the fight.

A missle that's falls upon innocent ground
is the Baghdad butchers making-and he'll call out loud.

"Wrongful deployment of allied weapons of war!"
But Saddam, why the hell were we there for?

You killed the Kurds you hide the knives
and when things get a bit rough, your found telling the lies!

Fine I accept oil is one of the goals
but for the sake of humanity, Saddam your bell loudly tolls!

Yes I see the marches, I see the pups
all led by the lead to the sugar coated cups.

Used by the system of which they protect
not thinking of the innocents hung by their neck.

Scoff if you will, no harm cometh me
if it wasn't for heros I would never have been.
