BEHIND OUR BACKS
1988
Fighting the Opium Wars
Veterans� names carved on a wall
Slaughtering women and children so they all can be free
Nazis from behind the lines
Wave the flags that spur us on
�Now it�s the communists we�re after�
Who wins in this game of lies?
Leaders under lock and key
Schemes are hatched behind closed doors
Deciding the fate of the world
Taking it out of our hands
Destroying democracy for its own sake
Claiming their motives are divine
Unity in hell is not what freedom means
Producing scapegoats when they�ve lost their value
Anarchists thrown in jail because they want to be free
Innocent people victimized and denied justice
Wilderness gutted to feed your machines
Perpetuating a cancer in the midst of all life
You fall asleep to animals� dying screams
Promoting prejudice, tailoring minds
That grow dependent on your Disease
Pick your Poison, your reason to exist
Drugged out of your mind so the fascist masquerade
Can continue before your eyes
When the Enemy is Behind Our Backs
Raising the Knife once more�
(�..and another crusade�..)
