Anti-flag - Depleted Uranium Is A War Crime lyrics

Depleted uranium is used on the ends of bullets And on the ends of shells because it is so hard Almost any armament is vulnerable To something that is tipped with depleted uranium In the cities and towns of Afghanistan In the heart of the Balkans, the heart of Iraq Not your Grandfathers style of deadly munitions Its silent and deadly years after the mission Depleted uranium is a war crime Depleted uranium is a war crime Gonna cut through their armor, then cut through your lungs If you make it home alive, youll still die young A greedy gang of liars, yeah, weve seen it all before A moneymaking scheme led by war-profiteering who*es Depleted uranium is a war crime Depleted uranium is a war crime They were throwing it away Until they figured out they could use it for armament Half-life, 4.5 billion Half-life, youll waste away Half-life, 4.5 billion Half-life, youll waste a Weve heard their lies before and we know theyre lying again Feels like a deja vu of Agent Orange and Vietnam Weaponry so sadistic, it is hard to comprehend War profits surge with every breath by Uncle Sam Depleted uranium is a war crime Depleted uranium is a war crime Depleted uranium is a war crime We went to a hospital in Southern Iraq And a woman was there with a very deformed child And her husband had been in the Iraqi Army And had been in the battles in Southern Iraq And came home and they produced a baby That was, very severe malformations Both the Leukemia rates in children And malformations at birth had increased by six hundred percent And it was clearly an epidemic where all this DU had been dumped It becomes a dust that can be inhaled And infect the blood stream and the rest of the body And it was the opinion of the doctors there That this was caused by depleted uranium They simply saw this as being a direct result Of the war by the United States Half-life, 4.5 billion Half-life, we waste away Half-life, 4.5 billion Half-life, we waste away Half-life, 4.5 billion Half-life, we waste away Half-life, 4.5 billion Half-life, we waste away The doctor said, Women at the time of birth Dont ask if its a boy or a girl, they ask, 'Is it normal?' The military denies first and then after the evidence builds to the point Where they can no longer deny, then they do the research Thats what happened in the Vietnam era around Agent Orange And I suspect and Im worried that thats what will happen this time
