Name: Strangelove
Duration: P00H03M56S
Description: I wrote this un-subtle lyric in 2003 in response to Bush's Iraq war, and to the "religious" neocons' apparent willingness to bomb or jail pretty much anyone, which seemed hypocritical and dangerous to me. Not having a band at the time, I had to play everything myself...

I wrote this un-subtle lyric in 2003 in response to Bush's Iraq war, and to the "religious" neocons' apparent willingness to bomb or jail pretty much anyone, which seemed hypocritical and dangerous to me. Not having a band at the time, I had to play everything myself...

lyrics

Sit and wonder what century they're living for
Good and evil are black and white behind that door
Going back to our fathers' fathers' fathers' time
Don't remember that eye for eye means going blind

(Chorus) No one's asking me, but I don't like what I see
Someone wake me up please this can't be real

Men of crosses and men in suits are making plans
Boys in uniform drawing lines in desert sand
Do it right, make the world jump at their command
But I don't like where they stand

(Chorus) No one's asking me, but I don't like what I see
Someone wake me up please this can't be real

(Bridge 1) I spend my days hoping for the best
But they think they're gonna ride their bombs to Jesus' side
Think they're gonna ride those bombs to Jesus' side

Feel like going outside and screaming silently
You see it's all for them and none for you and me
Rains of fire, our default foreign policy
'Cuz we're the land of the free

(Chorus) No one's asking me, but I don't like what I see
Someone wake me up please this can't be real

(Bridge 2) I spend my nights hoping I'll wake up
'Cuz they think they're gonna ride their bombs to Jesus' side
Think they're gonna ride those bombs to Jesus' side
