Lyrics
Invasion! Waiving the flag of our nation But I don’t Pledge Allegiance to this murderous malfeasance Is this world war 3? Is this a new world order? Brought to our living rooms by embedded reporters? But I’m not there so I’m gonna take it to the streets Because dissent and discourse are very vital to democracy I wrote to the President, I wrote my Congressman They sent me back a nice letter “They’ll consider my opinion” So which is more powerful votes from a voter or billions of dollars in the accounts of stockholders? Halliburton profits from the oil conflagrations While the White House just says “F*** United Nations!” Peace, Love Rise Above How come everybody push how come everybody shove Peace hit the streets it’s a protest anthem Love rise above point your fingers right at them First we drop some propaganda and then we drop bombs Then we drop food rations I think something is wrong And I think that we should just drop the program This ain’t about Iraqi freedom this is “disarm or death camp” Atrocities depicted but nobody is convicted ‘because the new world order wicked wealthy power is addictive Addictive enough to kill children But I don’t think they count ‘cause the color of their skin An eye for an eye we’ll take ours in advance First strike we’d just like to give war a chance The righties say I’m wrong. I’m un-American A terrorist McCarthyist Red Scare again Put down your weapons and stop dropping bombs This is murder by military “Iraqi – Nam” Money for college, you signed up straight out of high school You search and destroy because you do what you’re told to Peace, Love Rise Above How come everybody push how come everybody shove Peace hit the streets it’s a protest anthem Love rise above point your fingers right at them
