were going to set your streets on fire
because we know you are a liar
fbi cia and the games that you play
its the soldiers that die and their children that pay
were going to set your streets on fire
Osama is gone and saddams on run
Did you really think you could fool everyone
The truth brings you shame
So you start naming names,
Smile for the camera because were counting the days
were going to set your streets on fire
the world knows you are a liar
Freedom that comes behind bombs and your guns
profits that flow to your cronies and thugs
Twisting the truth while waving the flag
were you really suprised
When Al Queda attacked
were going to set your streets on fire
because we know you are a liar
when we vote and you count
and start changing amounts
Elections are bought and sold by the courts
Media lies, counterspins, alibi's
Condit walks free and its Chandra who dies
Were going to set your streets on fire
the world knows you are a liar
Time to start working for change
Ignore media games, stand and be counted
No more running away
take back what is ours, the freedom to say
My country was wrong and I am not going pay
with the life of my daughter my brother or son
No more blood shed for oil for your corporations
So if you see your streets on fire
and the crowds are marching by
Dont imagine you dont know why
They wrapped your flag in lies

Welcome to A2K, SunrayMinor. Give a yell if you need any help finding your way around the halls here.

I like the cadence in your writing. Sounds like it could very easily be set to music. Have you given any thought to that?

Thanks for the kind words yes, I wrote it with music in mind a local band Eulogy has agreed to try and put their own music to the words. I have my own melody and arrangement in my head. This peice has gotten a lot of flack where ever I have posted it..Thank you for seeing the good things in my words. [email protected]

Someone else already extended an invitation, but I'll repeat it. We've got quite a rowdy and well-informed political forum community here consisting of members from around the world with many different points of view.

Please consider joining us in the dialog. We're always looking for new voices.
