[Verse 1] They always need a pretense, they need an excuse But these re-runs are played out, a shame if you're fooled How many times you gon' fall for the same old script? Buy in to the war propaganda they print It defies common sense, any logic at all To think the Syrian state would at all be involved In chemical attacks at the moment inspectors Had entered the country, like they just that reckless The red line was crossed? that was months ago When the rebels used sarin gas, but that was okay though I guess the beheadings and the burning of churches Falls under "democracy", you f**ers are worthless I'm ashamed of this country, there's nothing in common With me and my government, the only bombing That I will condone is against D.C And you can bury this whole f**in' system six feet deep
[Verse 2] We need to have some basic lessons about revolution 'cause all I see right now is just sheer confusion It isn't a synonym for any uprising The leadership's decisive if we an*lyzing The FSA is deeply, profoundly backwards There's nothing progressive 'bout their vision or tactics They tools of the west, tools of the sell-out Real revolutionaries say "get the hell out!" Syrian Civl War? That ain't correct It's a proxy conflict in every respect Syria's a beacon of independence These devils in the west, they aspire to end it And relegate it back to colonial days But f** going back to just being enslaved If the U.S. drops bombs, let 'em face a loss And I mean gruesome f**in' d**h, we'll parade Uncle Sam's corpse
