Human Fantasy

I wrote this song as people took to the streets to protest against the second iraq war in the UK. The picture was very bleak from the headline seeking media, from what could be seen of the US military going in to invade, and the blatantly scheming politicians of the time. The worst culprits were the couch potato sofa scoundrels living their lives according to the whims of the first three.

Now for the first time, you'll be able to follow the war
24/7 around the clock coverage live
Today we lost 5 journalists, gave their lives to bring the news
News with extra flavour now, no other network brings to you

Turn it off, close your eyes
Your choosing when you give your lives
Close your mouth, don't reply
Only real people don't tell lies

You're protecting the homeland so follow your orders my son
Don't let doubt get in your mind, the evil is all in that man.
We are helping these people because they can't police themselves
(so don't feel powerless!)
This guy is a dictator and so we're bombing him to hell.

Wish a sand storm would come and blow all the idiots back home
Please don't die or get hurt, but don't let soldiers play in dirt
There's a court, the ICC, for war crime by B52
Soldier smile, you're on TV. Whatever you do we will see.

I can't write this third verse, don't know what goes on in your mind
Do you smile to yourself when you think of your brilliant plan?
You can play world politics
To make money from a war
You will suffer all the more
because you do not understand what you have done.

Tony Blair, Tony Blair, lost all respect for you back there
Bush JR just a Cunt! Of the two he's more innocent.

Watched the news for 4 hours, got me so down had to turn
On the other channels: more news - so I had to watch Friends...
I was driving home last night. They were protesting about the war.
Don't they know it's started now, and there's not a bloody thing
they're going to change.

'Cos of people
Like us
That we are getting all this fuss
Drive your car, watch TV
Living a human fantasy
You're asleep, animals!
Wake up to nam myoho renge kyo!
