[ Politics & Religion ] United State of Anarchies
Is it so strange for a soldier to question orders?
Just another clay pigeon in a shooting range
counting grains of sand in his camouflaged fort
What the hell am I here fighting for?
he often wonders
Absence of change the only progress to report
Is this a war really necessary?
Or is it just about a son settling a father's score?
Investments in democracy and freedom
looted by jack booted thugs
in thunderous plunders
All the while gun toting
men in black hoods
hail to the burning effigies
Welcome to the United State of Anarchies
where lawlessness is in abundance
free license to do as you please
Raging above through the toxic air
here come more Apaches
raining bullets indiscriminately
down upon the crowds of civilian
Shi'ites and Kurds
With the exception of despair
he is left with a loss of words
and love lost for his country
but no one back home
in the White House
seems to care
