It's still a lie.

A Lie
(To the tune of Alive – Pearl Jam)

So, he said
When confronted with the truth of the war
Profiteer Unaffected
There’s nothing he won’t
Bodies uncounted
And the scrap heap’s been picked clean
Dividens multiplying
War is the giving genie
And it must be stoked

A lie, oh it’s still a lie
A lie, oh it’s still a lie
A lie, oh it’s still a lie
A lie, oh it’s still a lie

Bang no drum slowly
We must to war go soon
Decide the Story
For you
Why are the soldiers
Little things with which you must play
Re-write the book, the book
And when they fall
You will not see
Eyes away

Why, it’s still a lie
A lie, oh it’s still a lie
A lie, oh it’s still a lie
A lie, oh it’s still a lie

How dare we count the dead
No torture rooms
All just a lie is said
And it occurs to me
There is no mission
And there’s no, there’s no
Redemption
Redemption

Oh A lie, oh it’s still a lie
A lie, oh it’s still a lie
A lie, oh it’s still a lie
A lie, oh it’s still a lie

It’s all a lie
Yea yea yea yea yeayea
