find your place in history

there are so many names
so many wrongs, so many articles
believe this report, this war game
well, i'm not buying it, i'm not that gullible

i'm the daughter of filipino immigrants
it was because of world war II
grandpa b could come to this great land
see he did his part on bataan day
i guess, thank you FDR for pearl harbor
my family has found a home in your america
now i suppose i say fuck you as i scream attica attica!

cause it appears we go from one jail to another in this world
so bring on the opportunity, show us the ropes
the bushs show us the way to wag the dog
the cheneys show us hypocrisy
tying us up and putting a big red bow on their conspiracy
as if it was a gift
thank you for blowing up the world trade center
so that we could go to war
blame it on those iraqi's, blame it on those weapons of mass destruction
hide your corruption by muting the truth, amplifying the pictures
osama osama osama
osama madness i call it
war on terror madness i call it
good war
this is one you've insured will never end

thank you
and while i'm thanking you i'm filling my car up with gas
filling your pockets with more cash
as if you needed it
but meanwhile i hang my flag
showing my american pride
as you rob me blindly
taking away my rights in stride

cause you're really not trying to answer all these unaswereds, are you?
you could really care less if the drugs on the streets are killing our youth?
if the air was safe to breathe that one gloriously glorified day of 9/11?
you have no conscience when it comes to the individual human life?
we're all casualties of war dying by your knife, the one you created and have us beleiving it was-- quick think! osama! saddam! john walker lindh! the palestinians! weapons of mass destruction! oh fuck it throw it all at them and pray for confusion! then air that simpson/ lohan fight that'll keep em occupied. feed em more illusions!


we are fucked in our ignorance
the politicians are crying, innocent
the truth is living somewhere in silence
and i'm just looking for that instance when we stand
and roar
we do not accept your embelished lies
we do not allow you to use us for your econmical gain
we are not blind to your crimes
and you george w bush
and you richard cheney
and you donald rumsfeld
and you stephen johnson
and you paul wolfowitz
and you condoleeza rice
need not only to be thrown out of office, but incarcerated for a very long time

who are your parents?
shame on them when they taught you that it was okay to murder
shame on you for bringing children in this world that have to live with your name
your documented legacy of lies

the truth will prevail
it will be documented
simply
clearly
accessibly

maybe i'm annoying
but i get angry when someone messes with my ma's house
when someone comes into my house and disrespects me
i don't like liars
and being that i was born into this world
i have a responsibility to protect it

it's as simple as wearing a condom
not drinking and driving
but we do it all the time, don't we?
change
do it
overcome and educate
