Have You Forgotten? (Back to Top)

I hear people saying we don't need this war
I say there's some things worth fighting for


Like cheap oil, or the wet dreams of neocons that passed when they had an
opportunity to demonstrate their own personal courage? Remember, Cheney's
"other priorities".


What about our freedom and this piece of ground?
We didn't get to keep 'em by backing down


You need to do a little reading of our history before you make such
nonsensical statements. Please tell us the names of ANY books that you've
read on the subject, in particular, books covering the era of the American
Revolution.



They say we don't realize the mess we're getting in
Before you start preaching
Let me ask you this my friend


Not sure that anyone knows the extent of the mess that we've gotten
ourselves into.


CHORUS 1
Have you forgotten how it felt that day
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away?
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside
Going through a living hell
And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout Bin Laden
Have you forgotten?


Actually, your president says that we shouldn't worry about bin laden.
You'll have to offer at least a scrap of evidence as to the connection
between 9/11 and Iraq.


They took all the footage off my T.V.
Said it's too disturbing for you and me
It'll just breed anger that's what the experts say
If it was up to me I'd show it every day
Some say this country's just out looking for a fight
After 9/11 man I'd have to say that's right


Which is great for the simpletons out there, but it doesn't do a thing for
the security of the US. Of course, a proper response doesn't do a thing for
the defense contractors-remember Halliburton-does it?


I've been there with the soldiers
Who've gone away to war
And you can bet they remember
Just what they're fighting for


Do they really? Seen a LOT of ****ed off parents of dead soldiers in the
media these days. If you asked the average joe out there what he was
fighting for I'd guess he'd tell you it was for the guy next to him.


CHORUS 2
Have you forgotten all the people killed?
Some went down like heroes in that Pennsylvania field
Have you forgotten about our Pentagon?
All the loved ones that we lost
And those left to carry on
Don't you tell me not to worry about Bin Laden
Have you forgotten?

Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten?


No, also haven't forgotten what Goering said during the Nuremburg trials.

"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the
country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag
the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a
parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can
always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have
to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for
lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."
-- Herman Goering--

Looks like you have some reading to do.

Atta boy John. Just remember, it's not the grunts who decide to go.
It's just a living, food on the table. They can't quit when the
Washington suits make a bad decision.
