Behind Enemy Lines - Advancing The Cause lyrics

Bush backs out of the 1972 ABM treaty, supposedly in the interests of national defense Determined to resurrect Reagan's nuclear monster Ignoring the world tension that this action presents Jerry Falwell had the nerve to place the blame at the feet of feminists, abortionists, gays and lesbians and the ACLU all of who have offended god for attempting to secularize this "Christian-founded" nation Pat Buchanan's xenophobic posturing has only gotten louder in calling for America to close all of our borders Why is it that those with the lowest morality are obsessed with trying to push their ideals on the rest of society? In the midst of human tragedy the political games begin Placing the blame on weak national defense and immigration The political vultures have been busy manufacturing fear and of course they have all the answers to make our problems disappear Desensitized to the suffering and the thousands of lives lost Capitalizing on the carnage to push their agenda through at any cost Raising money and pa**ing their laws Exploiting the dead to advance their cause How can this tragedy advance my cause? How can this suffering advance my cause? How can this fear advance my cause? How can this body pile advance my cause? Every safety measure these people offer is just another moral con Taking advantage of uncertainty to manipulate us into pawns Self-serving interests are sought without a single shred of decency Holding violence over our heads and promising stability To those with a political agenda this tragedy was a blessing in disguise because now oppression is protection and dare not be scrutinized Intolerance is now patriotism, the rising tide of nationalism it's been the unifying catalyst for country and religion How can this tragedy advance my cause? How can this suffering advance my cause? How can this fear advance my cause? How can this body pile advance my cause? Desensitized to the suffering and the thousands of lives lost Capitalizing on the carnage to push their agenda through at any cost Raising money and pa**ing their laws Exploiting the dead to advance their cause So we have another oilman in the Whitehouse, an absolute imbecile Moral delinquents wear the cloth, Nazis on capital hill You can see the excitement in their eyes, behind their crocodile tears pushing their agendas, the ones they've pushed for years but now seizing the opportunity by exploiting this catastrophe while painting themselves as patriots to hide their petty bigotry They champion their cause by climbing up the body pile Becoming king of the hill has made this tragedy all worthwhile How can this tragedy advance my cause? How can this suffering advance my cause? How can this fear advance my cause? How can this body pile advance my cause?
