Bleed

[Matt]

Certain recent events lead me to writing this song...

Bleed

Verse1:
Drill bits and blasting pits,
Metallic mole, drill the hole, through your soul.
Pipelines of blood tear apart the landscape,
For those in their path there is no escape.
Tycoons and snakes hide in holes,
Penthouse suites from liquid gold,
They slither through and then are gone,
Through the ground our lives are built on!

Chorus:
So cut the wrists with cold, dead steel,
Collecting oil from scars that won't heal.
If we don't have our Merc's we won't survive...
So bleed the mother****er dry!

Verse2:
Excess usage just pollutes us,
Spawn spare parts, fill the car, drown your heart.
CEO's only care about one type of green,
Content if their wallet's thick and car is clean.
The more barrels that they can shift,
The bigger the government's 'gift',
Liberating liquid from the state of Iraq,
Now our flag's stained with thick black!

Chorus:
So cut the wrists with cold, dead steel,
Collecting oil from scars that won't heal.
If we don't have our Merc's we won't survive...
So bleed the mother****er dry!

Bridge:
The legend of the burning (eyed) Bush,
Slaves get back in line or be crushed,
CEO PD to protect and serve,
Oil wells from nature reserves!

Chorus:
So cut the wrists with cold, dead steel,
Collecting oil from scars that won't heal.
If we don't have our Merc's we won't survive...
So bleed the mother****er dry!

I think you siad some things quite well here Matt, and thanks for taking time to look at some of my work as well.

Personally:
I think the war was a big mistake. I think people were misled and facts misrepresented and that nobody even bothers to report the thousands of iraqi deaths is a real crime as well. sure it was a "war" but men were forced to fight or have their families slaughtered. tens of thousands actually died. and who is reporting this? bbc? abc? cbs? no, just dead americans, every day a few more. which is sad and useless too because diplomacy never really got a chance and there never were any WMD in my opinion. Bush and Blair are bloodyhanded. And don't seem to particularly care. At all. Except for possible career repercussions.

Thank you Dark. It was pleasure reading and listening to some of your work. It's really good (especially Pretty).

I totally agree... the media coverage has been pretty bad of the war. Usually you're going to get a decent amount of truth and facts from the BBC but that did not seem to take place this time around. I cannot even start to beleive that there were any WMD and if there were so what... Saddam was not a stupid man. He wouldn't have actually used them because he would know that the reprecussions (from the US alone) would be deverstating to Iraq and his dictatorship. As you say they do have blood on their hands and it's blood that should not be easy to wash off. Instead they seem to just be hiding it from public view. Blair for example let the Hutton Inquiry come out just when people who had supported the war turned against it. I often get the feeling that on of the motives was 'Yeah sure this is a little embarressing for the government but it'll take their eyes off Iraq'.

Anyway thanks again.
