Retribution
Behind Enemy Lines

We've annihilated a nation now the retribution begins

Each day claims a life and a half dozen limbs

Violent backlash

The postwar fallout has turned into a bloodbath

Occupation not liberation

Nation building has been paved over by desperation

Trapped in this quagmire

American brutality throwing fuel on the fire

A sea of blood floods the occupied land

While the village idiot plays war in the sand

In the presidential sandbox he's out of harm's way

Protected by the privilege that allows him to play

That's shielded him from danger and still hides his desertion

And demands that those less privileged shoulder his burden

He'll sacrifice your life to provide his with privilege

Using his little toy soldiers as political leverage

he's got his bombs in the air and his pawns in a row

And thousands of broken toys buried six feet below

Retribution

His ignorant arrogance is being paid for with lives

Of the thousands of soldiers who fell for his lies

He's annihilated a nation now the retribution begins

Each day claims a life and a half dozen libs

He's sown the seeds for more hate and distrust

He's justified their contempt for us

The Christian crusader taking on the gutter religion

In the name of god he's murdered their children

He's a warmongering coward who's got blood on his hands

He sent his toys thousands of miles to draw a line in the sand

Now there's thousands of lines all illustrated in chalk

Slaughtered and maimed in what they were told would be a cakewalk

Retribution

His ignorant arrogance is being paid for with lives

Of the thousands of soldiers who fell for his lies

He's annihilated a nation now the retribution begins

Each day claims a life and a half dozen limbs

He claims to be fighting the war against terror and winning

But we haven't' seen anything yet this is just the beginning

He invaded their land for alleged terrorist involvement

Now that land's become a breeding ground for actual

Recruitment

Where they're kidnapping foreigners and cutting off heads

This is the extremism that our brutality's bred

This is Bush's idea of making us safer

Escalating the violence and inviting more danger

Our presence in the middle east will always be resented and hated

Those occupied aren't so easily placated

They see first hand the brutality and abuse

They don't have the situation spoon-fed to them by corporate news

They hear the cries of their children after we've severed their limbs

They see American soldiers torturing and killing civilians

How do we apologize to these children that we mutilated in error?

If we had to look in their eyes would we be able to look in the mirror?

Retribution

His ignorant arrogance is being paid for with lives

Of the thousands of soldiers who fell for his lies

He's annihilated a nation now the retribution begins

Each day claims a life and a half dozen limbs
