The Squall

The Squall - The Tossers

Well I often walk down to the pub in springtime

To take the summer breeze and drink with friends

But on the 12th day of september I went down

There

To the derision of all muslims and afghans

Being assaulted here in neighborhoods around me

Personally and in their jobs and schools and homes

And the barfly's said we should send 'em all back

Overseas

Well will you be the one to pay for their

Plane fare home

Well their women must come over here for sanctuary's sake

Being the victims of honor killings still permissable in numerous

States

By fanatical law a shamed husband can gun 'em down

You see

When it's affirmed by family and state then they have

No where to flee

Well we should wipe 'em off the fkin' map they

Tell me

'Cause we don't know when or where they will strike

Next

But I say we don't know their custom or what's

Happened there

Being american we've been veiled from that text

Well it's easier to manipulate a leader who needs food

And guns

So we've promoted chaos over there all along

To not have to deal with an independent stable oil

Power

Who don't need us or could tell us so long

And every time there's a faction with potential to out

Sell

We profiteer 'em full of guns and missiles and so

Go out and kill

We supported iran and iraq and afghanistan oh dread

Kids with guns starving to death if they get near

You you're dead

Oh take me away o'er the country side

With no natural resource or bombs or peering eyes

Away from the double standards practiced on both sides

Oh please my noble statesmen make this over

We've empowered leaders who've industrialized and overpopulated the towns

Who steal their tax money as most jobs are taken

Now run by machines

Our sale of food and aid get sanctioned if they

Don't sell oil cheap

We starve 'em for their resource yeah we have 'em

On their knees

Well israel's a source that does keep arabs fighting

So we've consistently vetoed their division in u n plans

And we never sanction or exclude israel outright

Despite atrocities performed by their own hands

And s u v 's keep c e o 's

Happy 'cause they're a status symbol and every one buys

And they burn a lot more fuel so the oil

Industry's happy as flies

On a sh*t that pollutes the air much worse then

Regular auto's will

And they'll keep this industry funded no matter who must

Be killed

Oh take me away o'er the country side

With no natural resource or bombs or peering eyes

Away from the double standards practiced on both sides

Oh please my noble statesmen make the sunrise

We sent soldiers and weapons to the afghanis to fight

The occupying russians

To insure an alliance and insure their trade for oil

And the communists fell anyway and we split breaking promises

Of aid and rebuilding and governance and left them fighting

Off warlords in turmoil

And they watched as we incinerated their brothers and sisters

In iraq now they think our policies unfair

And that we condescend and meddle in their governments and

Destroy them

They think oil's the only reason why we're there

Instead of having a foreign policy for policing others and

In defence

We should define it by what we're for rather than

What we're against

What the perpetrators did is punishable and clearly shows to

Us

That you can't subjugate others to your will by violence

And mistrust

On side

Take me away o'er the country side

With no natural resource or bombs or peering eyes

Away from the double standards practiced on both sides

Oh please my noble statesmen make this over

Yeah aah oh
