Written on the eve of the Iraqi invasion, March 2003
lyrics
Comedy economy
War's the next commodity
Booming stocks and bonds
Dumb bombs
Aerial assault
There's no food on my salt
Blame it on Islam
Dumb bombs
Darkness holds a cloak
Harshness chokes a throat
Faces of slave owners on my money
Coldness, where's my coat?
I can't barely stay afloat
Racing to save what little love I gave
Washington DC's
Not containing its disease
Spreading in the johns
Dumb bombs
Manufactured evidence
Convincing ones on the fence
All the pros and cons
Dumb bombs
Humanitarian
Selective superman
Faster than the sound of a speeding bullet
Brighter than the light
Of a 100,000 suns
Is petroleum
Worth the death of everyone?
Disposable society
Corrupted notoriety
The world's on CD ROM
Dumb bombs
Illiterate incompetence
Forms a mental impotence
No need to wear condoms
Dumb bombs
Astronauts playing
In the Death Valley desert
Documents buried
In a North Dakota blizzard
Buzzards fly above me
And love me with attention
Nudge my ear
With a taste of false affection
Sleep deprivation
A chat room conversation
Hide in dot coms
Dumb bombs
Lumps of living dust
Rage on roads in cars of rust
The shape of things to come
Dumb bombs
Smoking butts in the stalls
Smoking guns never solve
Questions pertaining
To the bodies we're embalming
Meekness of man-made
Mechanisms crying out
All the answers lie
In the one who never lies
Hollywood plays the part
Of a compassionate heart
On the set and salons
Dumb bombs
North Korean diarrhea
Eludes the network ballerinas
Winking with a nod
Dumb bombs
A trophy and a trinket
Given at a banquet
To deserving members
Of a jury sworn to silence
A Milton Bradley factory
Makes a subtle likeness
A game show in the works
To justify the violence
A Paraguay vacation
An exile's relocation
Covert dirty jobs
Dumb bombs
The fallout's raining radicals
Because of leftist radicals
Sentimental shish kebabs
Dumb bombs
Humanitarian
Selective superman
Bending steel with his bare oily hands
Brighter than the light
Of a 100,000 joules
Will the bicycle replace the diesel's fuel?
Comedy economy
War's the next commodity
Booming stocks and bonds
Dumb bombs
Washington DC's
Not containing its disease
Spreading in the johns...
