Story behind the song
Viet Nam, Iraq, same old story.
Lyrics
Bombs and Napalm didn’t stop them. The Viet Cong weren’t playing Dominoes. They just kept on fighting ‘til they won They drove the GIs from their homes. While spin-doctors we elected Made up our enemies: The red scare was just the holy grail For our munitions factories. Chorus: These Lies That Launch our Wars Greed and Power are the score To These Lies We’re Killing For. And where Tigris meets Euphrates No mass weapons, no 911 tie-- Just world leaders trading blood for oil And people on both sides that died. The spin doctors we elected And mullahs in their sacred mosques Preach a rhetoric of hate and fear-- See how a human race is lost-- CHORUS
