you paid for it
--------------------

 kicking my telly screen today
stuck in action replay
War games flicker and stay
on the glass tube telly today
This government
Why s it gone and spent
A load more money
On armament?
And whose children
Has it gone and sent
Out in deserts and khaki tents?

And across the pond a hand is lent
In slowly increasing increments
To georgie bush
And his malcontent
For those harboring oil
He smells the scent
Sat on his arsenal
All confidant
That the bombs and fire
That he has sent
Will force the hand
Of ill intent
As he blasts them all without consent.
For this government
Has gone and spent
Tons of cash on armaments

And who’s children
Does it risk?
Who fly’s off to foreign lands so brisk
Ours that’s who
And who put it together
Us that’s who
Who put pilots up there?
In those b52s
Who blew the metal
From viet-nam tin roofs
With taxes
With Elections
With fiscal glue
You that’s who


They were all bombed
Without my consent
They were all bombed without our consent


And Tony, you traitor
And Tony you said see you later
As you boarded the plane
With your ruling hands
And heads of shame
You toast a victory
With oil champagne

And from geysers high
You spurt it out
Black oily victory
From lager louts
Black oily victory
From bomb toting touts
Tony and George the lager louts
Tony and George the legal routs
Drilling and bombing
Lying whilst swan songing
Another country’s rain

Yes swan song-ing

Bombed to submission again

And I paid for it
That’s what makes me sick
I paid for it
You paid for it
You paid for burning kids
You paid for tin lids
On ration cans
For bullet holes in slaughtered lambs


Someone better say no
Someone better pray for snow
To fall on desert sand
Someone better wash their bloody hands
Cuz we cant go on
With bombing crews
We cant go on with tomahawk news
About precision targets
And guts all spewed
About daisy cutters and metal chewed
About bunker busting burning feuds

Better ask Tony
He’s in charge
Forget asking George
He’s heads too large
, you wanna go large with that?
you want a nuclear bomb with that?
you wanna make yourself ill?
make yourself fat?
you want some more oil with that?
extra frying kids with that
extra bomb dropping, tree lopping
head cropping
life stopping
napalm loving ice cream
with that!

like Ronald McDonald
like corporate profit
like bomb them like
stop it.
Ronald keeps smiling
When kids die.
Burgers buy more bullets
Salty fries fill fat gullets
Of soldiers out in…..
Gaza
Basra
Korea
Hanover
Hamburg
Dresden
Nam
Kuwait
Hiroshima
Some foreign field in Lima
- - -
- you paid for it, you wait
- at  the border of Kuwait
with daisy cutters ,cute and clinical
Rhetoric sharp and cynical

The fuss
Enough
Enough
Enough they butcher us


Say, 5 megaton bomb
Say hydrogen
Say razor tongue
Say Israel
Say ak47 rifle is wrong and wrong and wrong
And the shots ring on and on and on
Say Mr. propaganda i like your clever song
Say I’m into Pamela Anderson’s bikini thong
They painted her on the side of a bomb
Females don’t belong
On the side of double barrel bombs
Say America can do no wrong
When Mr. propaganda sings his song
And Tony’s quick to chant that out
Flashing ice white teeth like bathroom grout
with buzzing Hitler hands that twist and shout
the articulate mover
the Brussels sprout
oh yea Brussels
we paid for it
and
Tony the articulate mover
and George, the gunpowder groover
dancing on graves
Still holding hands
Blair and bush
Still holding hands
As the sun sets on conquered lands
And we embrace their culture
And share their views
As we all get fatter
As we choke and lose
Our right to freedom
And peaceful moves.

We paid for it
You paid for it
I paid for it

We paid for it all
