Morning
I mean you no harm
but you might be alarmed
when I shatter the calm
with the silent truth
about the use of arms
in the corrupt western
war on Islam.  
Aint just troops pushin up daisies
it's babies, civilian women and old ladies
anyone inbetween Bush and his gravy
can expect no mercy, your funeral could be
your wedding or your birthday.
And it aint just Iraqis on the blacklist
Bush has a hitlist he likes to call the axis
of countries targeted for media hysteria
North Korea, Iran and Libya
or after Iraq he might hit Syria
and all the rest of the world does is bicker
while Bush is busy trying to rival Hitler.

[chorus]
To the protestors on my left
through the cold and hunger
Protestors on my right
we'll get the warmongers
To those who stayed the course
we gonna reap the gain
To those who murder without remorse
NOT IN OUR NAME

Tony aint gonna stop us now
we're still roamin London's streets
wearin' out holes in our feet
cos we're true to the peace cause
no matter what kind of terror laws
they invent that're really meant
to stop us making a dent
in the right-wing racist parliament
that they claim is for the people
gotta be thick to think we're all equal
or that Blair's wars are remotely legal
poodle kissing up to the bald eagle
he claims Iraq had weapons of mass destruction
but this was just a made-up fiction
a big hoax like these guys with the aliens
so the troops can blast with depleted uranium
Blair, get this fact through your cranium:
everyone already knows it's about petroleum.

[chorus]


I aint a saint, I only got two passions
protesting wars and beating up fascists
but at least I'm aware of the worlds real problems
like the politicians whose first words are "bomb them"
trouble is it's easy to keep people ignorant
just get em focused on payin' their food and rent
then they fall right into the palm of your hand
and turn the blind eye while you poison the land
and thousands die each year in factory accidents
cos someone's too cheap to provide safety equipment
so while all around the world they pile up the dead
western folks can't seem to get it through their heads
that for all everything to them seems fine
really it's "there but for the grace of god go I."

[chorus]
Wrote this just now because I've not written in a while and I had a lot to say. Anyone wants to add to it please submit suggestions and I'll see if I can squeeze em in.
