T.W.A.T.
Welcome friend, countrymen, fellow American
To the the reality of The War Against Terrorism
In a nation divided that is only lately united
By the widening chasm of growing schism
T.W.A.T.
It ain't what it's cracked up to be
It's NOT a valid excuse to occupy any foreign country
You've GOT to open your eyes and realize for yourself
The Reality, the Truth, the Hell
That is
The T.W.A.T.
In case you've forgotten by now, it began with ignorance
Incompetent leaders at the helm of national defense
Budget cuts, under orders, neglect of the borders
Missing boards, gaping holes in the security fence
Rapidly came the one-hundred eighty degree spin
Conveniently after the enemy was allowed to slip in
Along with the global shift in policy and attitude
Eyes kept on the prize, as always kept on the crude
Giving credit where credit is due in this drama
Osama bin Laden, America was gunning for you
Until you were forgotten, almost every Pop and Mama
Believed it was true and why not, Didn't you?
Before Nine Eleven, Afghanistan across the ocean
Was already slated for invasion, plan yet to be set in motion
And in the spirit of Old Glory waved in Patriotic devotion
This was kept hush hush so as to not cause commotion
While a push of the panic button fired up the war machine
Air raid sirens of hysteria blaring what politicians never really mean
Through the smoke, the mirrors, your capitalized fears
Is The War Against Terrorism that remains to be seen
T.W.A.T.
It ain't what it's cracked up to be
It's NOT a valid excuse to occupy any foreign country
You've GOT to open your eyes and realize for yourself
The Shocking and Aweful Truth, the Hell
That is
The T.W.A.T.
Hot on the heals of Osama's newfound accomplice
In search of bombs Saddam's regime supposedly possessed
While scapegoats rocked the boat and confessed
To the faulty data Stated when the Union was Addressed
Anyone who questions the war is labeled a Pacifist
Accused of inviting home the All Purpose Terrorist
While all acts of violence emerging from insurgence
Are blamed on the Universal Militant Islamic Fascist
Bring back the men and women serving in Iraq
That were sent overseas in premeditated attack
As you evoke the name of God in this American Jihad
The body count rises while you turn your back
On families of ally, on fellow countrymen
And on our newfound friend, the Iraqi civilain
Now caught in the crossfire of hegemonistic desire
Your T.W.A.T. reeks of prolongued impossibility to win
They're dropping by the hour in the abuse of power
Unsuspecting flies trapped in a woven web of lies
While suicide roaches, stinging wasps and camoflauged locusts
Take aim at them under smoke and hate filled skies
T.W.A.T.
It ain't what it's cracked up to be
It's NOT a valid excuse to occupy any foreign country
You've GOT to open your eyes and realize for yourself
The Shocking and Aweful smell of the Hell
That is
The T.W.A.T
