I wrote this song on September 7, 2004. It was the day the one thousandth American death in Iraq was announced. The chorus quickly popped into my mind, and all day long lyrics kept coming into my head. Mostly, I used Bush and the neocons' own words and terms to express my own feelings about this tragic event. |

A Lie For A Lie (written 9/7/04, the day the 1,000th American died in the Iraq war)
Chorus: a Lie for a Lie and a Truth for a Truth A thousand have died Most still in their youth a Thousand have died and when we ask why a Lie is a Lie and the Truth’s still the Truth
No Weapons, No Programs or Bin Laden connections justify this bloody senseless intervention greater threats gathering all over the world Our leaders are lying, the flag is unfurled
A Holy crusade on the unholy masses “Let God sort them out” brayed the NeoCon Asses They made Special Plans for their Vanity War but No plan for peace, they’re goin’ to hell, that’s for sure
(chorus)
Catastrophic success due to miscalculation said the leader who misled an entire nation No Flowers, no candy for this liberation just anger, and sorrow, and fear
No coffins, no funerals, no body parts showing If you’re watching Fox News there’s no way of knowing ‘til one day you open the funny papers or watch a film by a disingenuous filmaker
(chorus)
In prayer or in silence remember the fallen for doing their duty for heeding their calling and remember when you’re in the voting booth, a lie is a lie and the truth is the truth |
