There’s a woman dressed in black
She’s screaming tears
Her contorted face screams tears
She’s stabbed with American spears
She clutches the remains of her life
I see her face through the telly screen
Stupid capitalist telly screen
I paid for the cruise missile
That decimates a ladies dream
Push of a button, so sterile so clean
In my taxes I paid
And in my bed I laid
Scared of what I contributed to
This shit faced government of red and blue
This shit faced government
Has gone and sent
Troops and armaments
To scapegoats shooting grounds
Distance mutes the destructive sounds
This public has swallowed
Its cursed and wallowed
In cruise missile hollows
Craters in sacred land mass
Cacti and dried grass
Is all we see.
Not the beautiful lady
And her home and family tree
I voted against, I was anti.
But deaf ears are convenient you see
And cash buys bombs and armadas so pretty
i feel so guilty
That dying woman will haunt me.
