The Tossers - The Squall lyrics

Well I often walk down to the pub in springtime To take the summer breeze and drink with friends But on the 12th day of September I went down there To the derision of all m**ms and Afghans Being a**aulted here in neighborhoods around me Personally and in their jobs and schools and homes And the barfly's said we should send 'em all back overseas Well will you be the one to pay for their plane fare home Well their women must come over here for sanctuary's sake Being the victims of honor k**ings still permissable in numerous states By fanatical law a shamed husband can gun 'em down you see When it's affirmed by family and state then they have no where to flee Well we should wipe 'em off the f**in' map they tell me Cause we don't know when or where they will strike next But I say we don't know their custom or what's happened there Being American we've been veiled from that text Well it's easier to manipulate a leader who needs food and guns So we've promoted chaos over there all along To not have to deal with an independent stable oil power Who don't need us or could tell us so long And every time there's a faction with potential to out sell We profiteer 'em full of guns and missiles and so go out and k** We supported Iran and Iraq and Afghanistan oh dread Kids with guns starving to d**h if they get near you you're dead Oh take me away o'er the country side With no natural resource or bombs or peering eyes Away from the double standards practiced on both sides Oh please my noble statesmen make this over We've empowered leaders who've industrialized and overpopulated the towns Who steal their tax money as most jobs are taken now run by machines Our sale of food and aid get sanctioned if they don't sell oil cheap We starve 'em for their resource yeah we have 'em on their knees Well Israel's a source that does keep Arabs fighting So we've consistently vetoed their division in U.N. plans And we never sanction or exclude Israel outright Despite atrocities performed by their own hands And S.U.V.'s keep C.E.O.'s happy 'cause they're a status symbol and every one buys And they burn a lot more fuel so the oil industry's happy as flies On a sh** that pollutes the air much worse then regular auto's will And they'll keep this industry funded no matter who must be k**ed We sent soldiers and weapons to the Afghanis to fight the occupying Russians To insure an alliance and insure their trade for oil And the communists fell anyway and we split breaking promises Of aid and rebuilding and governance and left them fighting off warlords in turmoil And they watched as we incinerated their brothers and sisters In Iraq now they think our policies unfair And that we condescend and meddle in their governments and destroy them They think oil's the only reason why we're there Instead of having a foreign policy for policing others and in defence We should define it by what we're for rather than what we're against What the perpetrators did is punishable and clearly shows to us That you can't subjugate others to your will by violence and mistrust
