Blush

Bush and Blair: blush

Hang your heads in shame

You took our world to war

But not in Our name.

Blair, were you Hellbent on your Christian Crusade?

Believing you had a God-given right to invade?

Prepared WHATEVER to support Bush in his war for oil,

And the U.S in it’s fight for the war spoils

Prepared to support WHATEVER for your ego and pride,

Regardless of breeding worldwide hatred and religious divide,

Millions marched, begged you to wait for a United Nations resolution

But you were too caught up in your machinations and collusion.

Bush and Blair, Blush for your lies of weapons of mass destruction

Leading to the war fuelling today’s terrorist eruptions.

Bush and Blair, blush, for your rush to war

Blush for your shock and awe

Blush for the intelligence you sexed up and embellished

Blush, for the destruction you relished

When you saw the burning skies

Did you also hear the mother and babies cries?

The Burning skies, lit up like the fourth of July on the telly.

Bush and Blair Blush for that, Robin Cook and David Kelly.

Blush for the millions of deaths of civilians and soldiers

Their lives SHOULD weigh heavily on your shoulders

You took the soldiers lives and their Heroism

Sending them ill-equipt to your fake war on Terrorism.

Blush for the middle-east devastated, destroyed

and destabilised by the war built on your lies

Blush to see the hell you have let loose

When you distorted the truth, selling your lies as proof.

Now we live with the consequence

For which there can be no recompense or sense,

Millions of deaths and displaced refugees

Innocent victims fleeing war, drowning in the seas

Or facing rejection and persecution with no solution

And you believe you don’t deserve prosecution?

You have the audacity to stand there and apologies

Accept responsibility but still deny your lies

You have to keep up you Self deception and delusion

to deny your own blame and collusion

You say the world is a better place without Saddam in it

But we all know that’s another lie, Goddamn it.

Bush and Blair, Blush,

hang your heads in shame,

You took Our world to war

But not in Our name
