Immortal Technique, Mumia Abu-Jamal - The War Against Us All lyrics
[Immortal Technique, Mumia Abu-Jamal - The War Against Us All lyrics]
The war against us all this
War in Iraq isn't
The end it's the beginning of wars to come
All around the world, at the whim of the
Neo-Cons in the White House
This is the Bush Doctrine come to life War
War and more war! War brought to you by the
Big corporate masters who run
The showThis isn't
Just a War on Iraqis or Afghanis or Arabs
Or even Muslims it is ultimately
A War on us all!
That's because the billions and billions
That are being spent
On this WarThe cost of tanks, rocketry
Bullets and yes even salariesFor the 125
000 plus troops, is money that will never
Be spent on education, on healthcare
On the reconstruction of
Crumbling public housing
Or to train and place the
Millions of workersWho have
Lost manufacturing jobs
In the past three years
Alone The War in Iraq is in
Reality a war against the
Nations' workers and the poor who
Are getting less and less
While the big Defense industries
And making a killing
- literally! What's next Iran
Syria, North Korea
Venezuela? We've already seen the
Corporate media Playing
Aphone to the White House
To build and promote a War based
On lies war is utilized by
The imperialists, first and foremost
To crush internal enemies we're seeing
The truth of it's
Insight When we see the sad state of
American education The rush of
Seniors to buy affordable
Medications from the Canadians Because
American drugs are
Just too expensive The threat of
Privatization of Social Security And
The wave of repression that comes
With an increasing Militarized
Police This is a War on all of us And the
Struggle against War is really
A struggle for a
Better life For the millions of
Folks who are in need
Here in this country! The fight
Against the War is
Really to fight for your own
Interests Not the false
Interests of the Defense Industry
Or the corporate media
Or the White HouseDown with
The Wars for empire!
From Death row this is Mumia Abu Jamal
War in Iraq isn't
The end it's the beginning of wars to come
All around the world, at the whim of the
Neo-Cons in the White House
This is the Bush Doctrine come to life War
War and more war! War brought to you by the
