Marcel Cartier - I'm Sorry Libya lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm sorry Libya, I tried to stop it really I did the best I could, my government they didn't hear me They didn't listen to us, but we were far too few We were slandered even by the normal anti-war crew People who should know, they should have known much better Who opposed the Iraq and Afghan endeavors But they bought into narrative or "Arab Spring" That it was gra**roots rebellion that sought to bring Some kind of vague "democratic" kind of system That Gaddafi was a tyrant who made victims Out of k**ing men and raping many women That a large scale ma**acre was imminent The war propaganda was so effective then Highly racist and never did it factor in Gaddafi's claims that the rebels included Several al-Qaeda elements but now it's proven [Chorus] I'm sorry Libya, I swear I truly am! I know that I could never really truly understand! I'm sorry Libya, so sorry for your loss I'm sorry for all the suffering, the human cost [Verse 2] Four years on, what's the seeds of this war? Of Resolution 1-9-7-3, what was it all for? To divide and ruin, to unnationalize? To sow destruction, make a point to demoralize? Any independent, progressive kind of force To use lies and bombing raids to simply enforce The path of a proxy army on the ground But now there's no cohesion among the forces who done found That they were bombed straight into Tripoli A failed state is Libya's new identity How's that "democratic" system working out? Remember blacks being lynched? well it still happens now At the behest of the I-S-I-S Remember who pushed them forward: Britain, France and U.S I wonder when we gonna admit what we did Probably not 'til a new U.S. exists
