Thou Doth Protest
Not nearly enough
In all the wrong places
In comfortable tents
With porta potties nearby
In the season of spring
At college campuses
Close to fast food in
Good neighborhoods
“With the bravery of being out of range
We strafe the train
With the bravery of being out of range
We gained terrain
With the bravery of being out of range
With the bravery of being out of range
We play the game
With the bravery of being out of range”
– Roger Waters
“The Bravery Of Being Out Of Range”
I am no expert but methinks
Thou ought to get a passport
Then go to where the action is
What better than to have a
Bunch of well to do spoiled brats
Getting a pseudo-education
In “real” world scenarios
Head to an endless war zone
Rooted in religious hatred
(“My God has a bigger dick than your God” – George Carlin)
Century after century because
It is written in books that
“God” is on “their” side as
Invisible manifestations of belief
Of course, if it is just attention, you seek
Then that will get you an unbelievable
Amount of attention, if not real wounds
Think of the “real” stories you’ll have
Unfortunately, that will not stop the war
Better yet, if you are against war
Then be against all wars everywhere
Go protest the multi-trillion dollar
Arms and weapons manufacturers
Better known as the military industrial complex
Who grossly profit grossly over
Manufacturing all of the war toys
In every nation all over the planet
Making devices and WMD’S designed
To kill out of the womb fetuses that
Allegedly everyone is trying to save
“Conservatives don’t give a shit about you, until you reach “military age”. Then they think you are just fine. Just what they’ve been looking for. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers.”
– George Carlin
But if you go there to protest, you can
Expect to have counter protests by
All of the families who feed their families
By going to work to build those devices
Of guns, bombs, bullets, rockets, tanks
Flamethrowers, missiles, land mines, etc.
That is just on the front end of nonstop death
Think of all the support corporations who
Make their money off of healing the wounded
Making hospital beds, surgeon gowns
Scalpels, gloves, stainless steel saws
Blood transfusion machines, body bags
Caskets, grave diggers, and florists
Here’s an oldie, but a goody.
“Bombs over Baghdad,
Bombs over Baghdad
Bombs over Baghdad,
Dancers of Death
Murder in the air,
With the next breath
Macho Queens selling
War-makers toys
Raining Destruction,
Good Old Boys
Death bringer In
Queen George’s Eyes
Read his lips,
War-maker lies
Religious Rights
Revenging sword
Thou shalt kill in the
Name of the Lord
The Sheep and the Cattle
Can’t keep from milling
Some are more than ready
Some aren’t willing
Volunteering in what
They’re not dying for
The Young Republican Guard
Crying for war
Free speech as
Free as its thought
Controlled behavior
Reacts as its taught
Fighting for Peace
Can’t comprehend
Hate out of love
Is violent pretends
Bombs Over Baghdad,
Bombs Over Baghdad
Bombs Over Baghdad,
Bombs Over Baghdad
Vampires drinking
Blood and oil cocktails
Their violence works
it hardly ever fails
When blind man can’t see
He believes blind
Blind obedience is
The child of mindless minds
New world order
Is an old world lie
Fighting for peace,
See how they die
Dragging in God,
As they turn violent
God says nothing,
He just remains silent
Stop madmen from
Running loose
Mother earth woman
Can’t take the abuse
Living right now is
Living for tomorrow
Time is saying
There’s no more time tomorrow”
– John Trudell
How can there be a peaceful soul-ution
If everyone is profiting off of death
Even the comfy tent makers are profiting
No matter how much…..
Thou doth protest
“Here’s the way it works. The primate brain says, give peace a chance. The mammalian brain says, give peace a chance, but first let’s kill this motherfucker. And the reptilian brains says, let’s just kill the motherfucker. Go to the peace rally and get laid.
Because the first obligation, the first obligation of any organism is to survive. The second is to reproduce. Survival is more important than fucking. Pacifism is a nice idea. But it can get you killed.
We’re not there yet folks, evolution is slow. Smallpox is fast.”
– George Carlin
“All we are saying, is give peace a chance.”
– John Lennon
Yeah, right……..

That someday light may shine through”
