You watched your war from T.V. screens
Immune from pain and human screams
You saw destruction from the sky
But never once viewed those who died
The haunting sight of blood soaked sand
That never burdened "T.V. land"
Watched our nation swallow s***
And made the war a prime time hit
The war was just a passing fad
Just yellow ribbons nothing bad
No need to watch the senseless slaughter
Of loving mother's sons and daughters
No tears shed
For pre-empted dead
Caveat Emptor
You're victims of the hypnotist
Waving flags and clenching fists
Believing that you're really p*****
About the affairs of foreign kings
Like sailors as sirens sing
To die you'll do almost anything
Intentions made of gold
You're hands are soaked with blood
You cannot justify
The innocents who died
Your nation is no pining saint
Despite the picture that it paints
Our action leave a marring taint
When judged upon the human scale
The actions of the east will pale
With the carnage by the west wholesale
And you have the nerve to say
That patriots today
Must look the other way
You're murderers for ignoring what they do
Immune from pain and human screams
You saw destruction from the sky
But never once viewed those who died
The haunting sight of blood soaked sand
That never burdened "T.V. land"
Watched our nation swallow s***
And made the war a prime time hit
The war was just a passing fad
Just yellow ribbons nothing bad
No need to watch the senseless slaughter
Of loving mother's sons and daughters
No tears shed
For pre-empted dead
Caveat Emptor
You're victims of the hypnotist
Waving flags and clenching fists
Believing that you're really p*****
About the affairs of foreign kings
Like sailors as sirens sing
To die you'll do almost anything
Intentions made of gold
You're hands are soaked with blood
You cannot justify
The innocents who died
Your nation is no pining saint
Despite the picture that it paints

When judged upon the human scale
The actions of the east will pale
With the carnage by the west wholesale
And you have the nerve to say
