Your Tax Dollars at Work
The bombs and the planes, the tanks and the rockets,
The rubble and the mayhem come out of your pockets.
Your friends and family fall dead on the ground,
For weapons of mass destruction yet to be found.
You paid for this war, don’t you feel screwed?
There is no refund, impeachment will do.
2,000 bucks a month to die in GI gear,
While a Halliburton contractor makes $174,000 dollars a year.
$75 dollars a month, docked off imminent danger pay,
Another $150 monthly separation allowance just taken away.
We could have hired millions of teachers in all of the schools,
Instead we’re hiring soldiers to construct death pools.
For a war without evidence we give our last dime,
With the amount spent we could end world hunger for 5 years time.
Instead of this decision that turns out quite rash
You could have funded a cure for AIDS with all of that cash.
We could have built schools, instead we build artillery.
We could have jobs, but we’d rather play our fantasies.
Hail to the nation’s leader, the commander-in-thief.
Who can cause the strongest man to rip his hair in grief.
Fox reports just one side,
Because they distort, thousands died.
The media belongs to just a few,
Who wants to report when you profit from right wing views?
Those who lead us to die get a nice tax cut,
Those who fall for their lies might lose their guts.
“Trust our president,” is what you’re forced to hear,
You know the same thing was stated by Britney Spears?
I wish that the public could see that they’re being deceived,
But if a lie gets repeated it’s eventually believed.
The artist was Bush, his color was red,
Painting a portrait of terror, everything was dead.
Monsters in disguise,
In the White House they lurk.
Death for his lies,
Your tax dollars at work.
