Bora born
No brain no pain _
Woulda coulda shoulda
had the guts to say no
to lies and deception
of the politicians
and excuses for war.
We wish we could have changed it
when our troops went over seas
to invade a sovereign country
with all it's black-gold bounty
and bring it to it's knees.
Shoulda woulda coulda
let others have their say
in a new direction
of a free election
with sense to have its' day.
We wish it could have changed us
as the troops died overseas.
Terror drawn from terror born
to serve the far rights' ideals
torn, from our antiquity.
Coulda shoulda woulda
tried real hard to say no
but our friends kept repeating
let's give them the beating
so hard to let them go.
We wish we could have stopped the
children's slaughter overseas.
Better there, than over here
pass another ice cold beer
just our luck to live life here.
Woulda coulda shoulda
but it's far too late now.
The horse had now bolted
our pride was insulted
as terrorists came here.
We wish we could have stopped
the children's slaughter over here.
Terror torn from terror drawn
we served the far rights' ideals
born, of our iniquity.
