military/industrial complex

Dick Cheney saw an opportunity
to seize the oil resources of Iraq
when Saudis blow the Trade Center to scree
it isn't their home country we attack
two trillion dollars might have done much good
addressing problems back here in the States
but Rumsfeld showed what our Armed Forces could
do to the regime all good Bushes hate
when Sykes-Picot drew borders with no heart
they dreamed their empires got to pull the strings
now civil war tears all their plans apart
and ev'ry petty sheikh wants to be king
Democracy's not nurtured by the gun
it's only through the schools that hearts are won
