COLLATERAL DAMAGE
Collateral damage
is the disease of the day
and the greatest cause of dyin
is just gettin in the way
Yes people are dyin who have no say
people all dyin just from gettin in the way
In Palestine it’s Arafat
that they’re all aiming at
And the bombers of Allah
want Sharon to be gone
Refugee camps and ice cream shops
the bombin and the dying just never stops
and nobody’s factions own up to their actions
so it’s all reactions to reactions to reactions
with all the weapons piled on one side
and the other side reduced to suicide
Bush wants Hussein
Hussein wants the bomb
And half a million children die
who can’t spell embargo and don’t know why
Carpet bombers killing in wave after wave
while Bin Laden sits still safe in his cave
more Afghanis dead than in both towers
doesn’t impress the press or the powers
Children in uniform may be innocent too
killed in you don’t join, what would you do
Big business and the army
have screwed the world brown
but they’re not the ones dying
when the towers go down
Yes collateral damage
is the disease of the day
and the greatest cause of dyin
is still just gettin in the way
The feds had weapons that gave off sparks
And now Waco is full of Joan of Arcs
A crime that leads to Oklahoma City
and day care there was far from pretty
Yes an epidemic is under way, and a lot of
little children with nothing to say
dyin of the disease of just
gettin in the way
