The New World Order Rap
A Glossary of Neo-Con Newspeak

Homeland Defense
Bill of Rights, past tense

Liberation
Of your oil, not your nation

New World Order
Greed knows no border

Liberty
Greedy pigs yellin’ me, me, me

Equality
Not for you, not for me

Freedom
Has your mind gone numb"


If it gets any worse, we’ll all be riding in the back of a hearse
If the fear’s any higher, we’ll all be bathing in a funeral pyre
Fear, hate, indignity – the new Holy Trinity
Fear, hate, indignity – the new Holy Trinity


Racism
The rich man’s jism

Capitalism
If you’re black, its poverty and prison

Color brown
Better not drive in this part of town

Color red
Be silent or to the reservation you'll be led

Famine
Just a little tithe for mammon

Commons called takings
By the Neo-Con Shamans


If it gets any worse, we’ll all be riding in the back of a hearse
If the fear’s any higher, we’ll all be bathing in a funeral pyre
Fear, hate, indignity – the new Holy Trinity
Fear, hate, indignity – the new Holy Trinity

Feel no shame
Al-Qaida’s to blame

War after war
The greedy man’s whore

What is peace
A moment ‘tween wars that never cease

Your worst Fear
Bring on the night, Code Red's here

Hate, the new religion
Hope for the pigeon

Grief and Indignity
All that's left, for you and for me


If it gets any worse, we’ll all be riding in the back of a hearse
If the fear’s any higher, we’ll all be bathing in a funeral pyre
Fear, hate, indignity – the new Holy Trinity
Fear, hate, indignity – the new Holy Trinity

A Song looking for a melody...

I am a Voice for Peace

The change it is comin’
Hope rises up to the sky
No more lost in our fear
We will tear down the lies

Raise your voice all nations
War and intolerance shall fall
Nothing will stay our promise
Peace and justice for all

(Refrain)
I am a voice for peace
Freedom, now hear my call
The time has come for justice
Peace and justice for all

I am a voice for peace
Rising from a sea of despair
Truth is now at the gates
Freedom and justice my prayer

(verse)
The end of war is upon us
Now, now is the time
Let us take to the streets
Marching to freedom’s chime

No more in the darkness
No more lost in our fear
We shall stand shoulder to shoulder
Our path, our path it is clear

(Refrain)
We are all voices for peace
Freedom, we hear your call
The time has come for justice
Peace and justice for all

We are all voices for peace
Rising from a sea of despair
Truth is now at the gates
Freedom and justice our prayer

(verse)
Nowhere, nowhere to run
It's the end of the line
War's folly exposed
Now, now is the time

Go, go now to the streets
At last, the battle's begun
Greed and dishonor are vanquished,
Forever, over and done.

(Refrain)
I am a voice for peace
Freedom, I march to your call
The time has come for justice
Peace and justice for all

We are all voices for peace
Rising from a sea of despair
Truth is now at the gates
Freedom and justice our prayer

We are all voices for peace
Freedom, we march to your call
We are all voices for justice
Peace and justice for all

 America

America, America
We screamed for revenge
Our Towers of Babel crashing in flames
Our castle of war
Leaking blood from its frame

So revenge was our answer
Revenge was the call
Kill all that resist us.
Even the helpless and small

Why do they hate us"
Did we do them some wrong"
We’re the greatest of nations
No one so strong


America, America
The world felt our anger
And our vengeance was swift
Death from above
Devastation our gift

Addicts to adrenalin’s rush
Shooting all we did see
No time for a reason
And fire if they flee

We called it bringing freedom
And destroyed all that was left
Cluster Bombs, mines and uranium
You get the drift


America, America
Fear our religion
Hate is our creed
Greed is our Bible
Ignorance, giving us all that we need

Please, don’t let them get us
Why do they keep us in fear"
Is it the terrorist"
Are they close" Are they near"

Fear of the black man"
Or is it the brown"
Or is it the repo man"
Or the tax man, closing us down"


America, America
Our SUVs, Our TVs
Our Jacuzzis, Our games
Myriad diversions
To keep out the pain

The oceans are rising
Our taxes repealed
We drive guzzling steeds
Cocoons of leather and steel

We’re better than them
We’re right and we’re pure
Just don’t look too close
Through the hate and the fear


America, America
There’s always some bogeyman
Raised to keep us afraid
There’s always someone to hate
Except for the leaders, where the fear, it is made.

Hate, the oldest of games
Pitting the weak ‘gainst the poor
A game for uncounted centuries
Can we afford to play anymore"

Our children are hungry
Our poor live in shame
Our rich growing richer
While we try hard to maintain


America, America
where is our anger"
Where are our tears"
For the millions oppressed
in slums made of fears

Where is equality of race"
How long must we wait"
Where is the cure for injustice"
Can we leave it to fate"

How long must we suffer"
How long to evil will we accede"
How long will we turn away"
How long will we give in to greed"


America, America
When will we rise up"
How long will the elite have their sway"
How long can we lie to ourselves"
And turn away in dismay"

Will we throw off the chains
Pull back the veil
We are the custodians
Holding the key to our jail

You see, our salvation’s within
But not without flaws
Because America’s the enemy
And America’s the cause


America, America
You are the enemy
You are the cause
The policies of malevolence
Writ deep in your laws

You are the enemy
You are the source.
Our nation only made safe
If clear is our course

Her freedoms - illusion
A false beacon at best
If citizens don’t hold her
Words to the test

America, America
Rise up we must
Or repression’s our lot
Stand and be counted
Or freedom means naught

Rise up you with scant hope
Rise up the weak – heed this call
Rise up you downtrodden
And demand freedom for all

Rise up true patriots
Rise up to take what is yours
Together we march forth
Until America concurs

America, America
No more the arrogant
No more the bully
No more the breaker of covenants
No more of promises to tarnish and sully

America made strong
But, strong by her kindness
America made worthy
Her goodness to unite us

We shall injustice tear down
We shall cleanse us of shame
Until proudly we say
America, America, we cherish your name.

Johnny Peaceseed

Grieve

Baby cries.
Mother gone.

Where's your father"
Where's my son"


I heard the screams.
Now weak and faint.

I grieve and moan.
Let go restraint.


Seared flesh.
butchery and gore.

Search the rubble.
Search no more.


Scattered chess pieces.
Seared by flame.

Please spare one dying soul.
Please, erase this shame.


In agony, they suffer.
Racked, in pain.

I sob, this isn't real.
Weeping toxic rain.


Three thousand children.
Rage and anguish at the toll.

Will no one listen"
What's the latest poll"


Death abounds.
Death everywhere.

Shame upon America.
America the brutal, Iran beware.

Johnny Peaceseed

Demons

Repress the people.
Take their civil rights.
Then take away their dignity
Their dreams, their hopes.
Starve them.
Mistreat them.
Take their land.
Their resources.
Drive them to desperation.
And when they lash out.
Call them terrorists.
Kill them.
Kill Them.
Kill them.
Filthy Terrorists.

Johnny Peaceseed

Bravery

Cocky cowboy.
Jet flying high.
Rockets launched.
Streak ‘cross the sky

What marksmanship.
What a thrill.
Bulls eye! Score!
Another kill.

Exhilaration grabs him.
Air war's just a game.
How brave his errand.
He knows not shame.

Iraq - Now
(to the sound of dirge drums)

I am flying high over the desert

I am pacing in my cell

I am lying in the shade of a tree

I am in a convoy driving into Baghdad

I am in a meeting with the Americans

I am herding my camels across the dry riverbed

I am putting on my makeup before I go on

I am guarding the entrance to the cell block

I am listening for approaching footsteps

I am putting on my burqa before I go out

I am standing at attention outside the General’s office

I am arranging vegetables in the cart for my father

I am waiting for the convoy to approach

I am weak from diarrhea and am delirious

I am lost as I walk down the dusty alley

I am outlining what is acceptable and what is not to the guards at the prison

I am exhausted as I leave my job at the refinery

I am discussing the war with other reporters

I am counting money

I am just a patriot fighting for my country my C.O. tells me

I am just a patriot fighting for Islam the mullah tells me

I am praying to God to keep me safe until my tour is over

I am praying to Allah to let it end

I am covering the device with dirt

I am sleeping restlessly on my cot

I am locking onto the target

I am aiming at the boy with the rock in his hand

I am afraid to go home after my tour

I am paralyzed and fear engulfs me

I am strapping the explosives around my waist

I am crying and don’t know why

I am closing the deal that will make me wealthy

I am no longer feeling proud to be an American I write in my daily journal

I am not getting married because my fiancé has been arrested

I am unable to remember what my girlfriend looks like

I am wondering what the orange object is up ahead of me

I am unable to sleep in the oppressive heat

I am ill from radiation poisoning the doctor tells me

I am laughing with my buddies

I am drinking beer by the pool in the Green Zone

I am watching the bombs separate from the plane high above

I am raping the detainee while the other guards watch

I am hearing voices in my head

I am laughing at the sand monkeys in the yard

I am not sure of anything anymore

I am putting on my body armor

I am told I will die if they cannot get the antibiotics

I am in the brig for going AWOL

I am cooking a meal in the mess tent

I am filled with hate for these terrorists

I am plotting with my brothers to take revenge on the infidels

I am listening to Tobey Keith on Armed Forces Radio

I am watching an Al Jazeera report on the Gaza pullout 

I am asking when the antibiotics will be shipped

I am no longer human, I fear

I am aware of screams in the next cellblock

I am fighting, but I am no longer sure its for my country

I am picking up the orange object

I am suddenly aware that the soldier is aiming at me

I am aware of a high pitched sound above me

I am swerving to avoid the mound of dirt beside the road

I am blinded by an unexpected flash and searing pain

I am propelled through the air as I watch the explosion rips through the market below me

I am clinging desperately to the steering wheel as I watch in horror my legs, disconnect from my body and arch away in tangled disarray

I am laying face up in the street, already dead

I am laying face down in the alley, the world red, consciousness leaving me

I am laying in the road, my life flowing out of me

I am laying in my Humvee, my life flowing out of me

I am feeling completely lost and hopeless as I hold tight to my dead baby

I am wondering when my Papa will be home

I am filled with rage and despair and consumed by fear

I am laughing and don’t know why

I am shouting, “Allahu Akbar”

I am shouting , “Help me, Help me”

I am sorting the body parts scattered across the street

I am reciting the names of my children

I am burying my wife and daughter

I am laying in a hospital bed with bandages over my eyes and where my hands were

I am telling the press, once again, that we have turned the corner

I am firing my weapon into the sky

I am lost in hate

I am the taker of life

I am the bringer of death

I am no longer American

I am no longer Iraqi

I am no longer human
