Alas, Dear Babylon
One hundred billion dollars wasted in Babylon
Two hundred thousand lives lost in battles gone
Do you remember where you were the day the towers fell
The day the earth stood still and we spiraled into hell
Anthrax hidden mail and death blazing in the sky
Soldiers being deployed and scared children cry
Shooting down the Taliban while Bin Ladens on the lamb
While every citizen of the west claims they are too an American
We got too self-assured and or trust was so blind
We did not know this was a war of a different kind
We all responded in one unifying voice
There is no other option, no other choice
Lets start the tanks, prepare the crusade
And submerge the world in the twilight of the apocalyptic age
My friends, my dear friends the Day of Judgment is at hand
Now will every good Patriot please stand?
Against the evil emanating from the land of sword and sand
Lets take the cross, rally up the war cry
Tooth for a tooth, eye for an eye
My brothers and my sisters march with me
Lets bring the guns of freedom from sea to sea
Brick by brick, stone by stone we will build upon these ruins
And the sins of this land we will atone
All we most do is sacrifice a little of our own flesh and bone
One hundred billion dollars wasted in Babylon
Two hundred thousand lives lost in battles gone
Leaving us alone with the question, where did we go so wrong?
