VENEREA LYRICS

"Guantanamo"

I was a human shield
Cause it felt so wrong
That so many would die
Just to get one bad guy

I meant to do no harm
Committed no great crime
Just happened to be at
The wrong place at the wrong time

A population in denial
Ignorant of acts of war
When the military’s witch trials
A population in denial
Light that fat cigar
And the military’s witch trials

Martial law in Murphy’s name – Guantanamo
Bang and blame is the name of the game – Guantanamo
Double hearsay’s proof enough – Guantanamo
You can’t afford to call the bluff – Guantanamo

For their god and country
None of whom I trust
I was placed before a
Forties-style war tribunal

No lord’s my shepherd
But now I’m their scapegoat
Just one of hundreds
Of potential terrorists

For “the safety of the nation”
I was swept under the rug
Of an unrighteous occupation
To protect the population
This Dumbo-threatening bug
Was put in hibernation

Martial law in Murphy’s name – Guantanamo
Bang and blame is the name of the game – Guantanamo
They decide what is true – Guantanamo
Judge and jury and hangman too – Guantanamo
