The Forgotten Voice of the Iraqi People
They’re shooting us here, they’re bombing us there.
They’re killing our children, but no one seems to care.
I’m an Iraqi, the voice you refuse to hear.
I’m an Iraqi, forced to starvation and fear.
They show us killing soldiers and committing these crimes,
Yet the number of us dead is higher by 23 times.
5 million of us can’t find clean water,
We’re not human beings to you, we’re simple cannon fodder
I’m an Iraqi, the people you can’t truly face
Mr. Bush never helped us, that fucking disgrace
One man commits violence, the Iraqi people get the blame,
But wouldn’t you do the same if your house burst to flames?
Depleted uranium is left all around,
It’s in the air and the water, as well as the ground.
With a half-life of 4.5 billion years,
It brings deformities, cancer, and tears.
Holding my own sister, filled up with lead,
Is this the freedom you bring us? The freedom to be dead!
You say you’re liberating us from one evil man.
You say that he had so many evil plans,
You said he had WMDs and links to bin Laden
Our plea for mercy is now long forgotten.
You didn’t even bother to back your fabrications,
You didn’t even bother for consent from the United Nations
Clusterbombs dropped in tiny neighborhoods
More of your soldiers are up to no good.
Taking our families without just cause,
Bombing our towns just because.
I’m an Iraqi, the one you told to hush,
While you turn our towns into ashes and our brains into mush.
I’m an Iraqi, and this is what I have to say,
All I want now is for you to go away
