T.W.A.T.

Panic button pushed firing up the war machine
Air raid sirens of hysteria
Blaring what politicians never really mean
Through the smoke, the mirrors, your capitalized fears
Is The War Against Terrorism that remains to be seen

T.W.A.T.

Grand was the experiment in arrogance
Incompetence at the helm of national defense
Budget cuts, under orders, neglect of the borders
Missing boards, gaping holes in the security fence

NOT
Long after the enemy was allowed to slip in
Came the rapid one-hundred eighty degree spin
Global shift in policy, attitude
Eyes kept on the prize
Always kept on the crude  

T.W.A.T.
It is NOT
A valid excuse to occupy any foreign country
The shocking and aweful reality

Imperialists hijacked the military

Hot on the heels of Osama's newfound accomplice
Search and seizure of bombs
Saddam's regime supposedly possessed
While scapegoats rocked the boat, confessed
To the faulty data Stated when the Union was Addressed

You're NOT a Patriot
Questioning the war makes you a Pacifist
Accused of inviting home the All Purpose Terrorist
While the emergence of violence
From the reciprocated insurgence
Is blamed on the boogeyman Islamic Fascist

T.W.A.T.
It is NOT
A valid excuse to occupy any foreign country
The shocking and aweful reality

Imperialists hijacked the military

This war was not what it was perpetuated to be

Not in the least

Bring back the men and women serving in Iraq
That were sent overseas in premeditated attack
As you evoke the name of God in this American Jihad
The body count rises while you turn your back
On families of ally, fellow countrymen
On our newfound friend, the Iraqi civilain
Now caught in the crossfire of hegemonistic desire
Your T.W.A.T. reeks of prolongued impossibility to win
They're dropping by the hour in the abuse of power
Unsuspecting flies trapped in a woven web of lies
Suicide roaches, stinging wasps, camoflauged locusts
Take aim at our soldiers, allies
Under smoke and hate filled skies

Written between the lies
The shocking and aweful truth of it
Just another bullshit excuse to occupy a foreign country
Furthest thing from legitimate
Yes, it most definately was
NOT
