War Machine

America listen up cause I have something to say
You're not going to like it but here goes any way
Invading oil rich states 'cause you're worried about your millions
But does that really justify your killing of civilians?

Who died and made you the world police?
Treating the world like sheep and I see that you're wearing fleece
It's not right but it's not like you ever give a fuck
As long as there's a motive then I guess you just ain't giving up

You got the shit kicked outta you by the Vietnamese
Even though you dropped bombs cause you couldn't see through the trees
You called it rolling thunder but I know the real name
You say you're fighting terrorism but you play the same game

The blame game is an old American pastime
But it's past time you gave up committing these damn crimes
You wave the world flag as if you are so pure
Look in the mirror and then tell me cause I'm not sure
You're doing the right thing
In fact you aren't and it's in sight
The places that you've been are hit by poverty and blight
And everybody knows that when your drones are in flight
Ain't nobody safe in their own homes at night

So shine the fuck up and lead by example yo
Stop treating those less fortunate as terrorists though
If somebody invaded you I'm sure you'd fight back
So imagine what it's like for them and take a step back
If soldiers stepped on my porch and torched what I own
I'm telling you right now I'd fight and I wouldn't be alone
Stop spreading terror if that's what you're fighting
Take a look at all the suffering that you're igniting

80 percent of your prison population is black
You've got your own problems at home and maybe you should solve that
Illiteracy obesity and rat at tat terrible gun laws
You paint a perfect picture but you can't hide your flaws
So please stop masterminding regime falls behind closed doors
And open the floors to good ideas without a secret clause
And open your borders to those who work without pause
Because those are the people with good hearts and good ethic
But you don't see it you stamp no no no if they're ethnic

"Make America Great Again"
You mean racist and rich and able to commit crimes
Without fear of the international switch
Reprimanding for humanitarian outcries
"Make America Great Again"
I think you're confusing the times
Was America great when you could own a whole races lives?

Become fair and just and a beacon for equality
Lift up the poor and give their life a good quality
Uplift gender rights in unification
Only then could you be a self righteous nation
When you've covered all the bases and you're catering for all
Guess what?
You still don't have the right to invade anybody at all!
Stay the fuck within your borders that you guard so carefully
Become peace oriented and police lawfully
Close Guantanamo bay and open Area 51
Ban all fracking and harness energy from the sun
And you better stay the fuck outta bad old Vietnam!

Take care of your own before launching another drone
Because at the end of the day you will find yourself alone
When your money runs out everyone else will see
The Stars and Stripes hide the real enemy
