Some of the lyrics:
Someone’s trying to tell us something, maybe this is God just saying
we’re responsible for this monster, this coward, that we have empoweredThis is Bin Laden, look at his head nodding,
How could we allow something like this, Without pumping our fist
Now this is our final hourLet me be the voice, and your strength, and your choice
Let me simplify the rhyme, just to amplify the noise
Try to amplify the times it, and multiply it by six
Teen million people are equal of this high pitch
Maybe we can reach Al Quaeda through my speechLet the President answer on high anarchy
Strap him with AK-47, let him go
Fight his own war, let him impress daddy that way
No more blood for oil, we got our own battles to fight on our soil
No more psychological warfare to trick us to think that we ain’t loyal
If we don’t serve our own country we’re patronizing a heroLook in his eyes, it’s all lies, the stars and stripes
They’ve been swiped, washed out and wiped,
And replaced with his own face, mosh now or die
If I get sniped tonight you’ll know why, because I told you to fightSo come along, follow me as I lead through the darkness
As I provide just enough spark, that we need to proceed
Carry on, give me hope, give me strength,
Come with me, and I won’t steer you wrong
Put your faith and your trust as I guide us through the fog
Till the light, at the end, of the tunnel, we gonna fight,
We gonna charge, we gonna stomp, we gonna march through the swamp
We gonna mosh through the marsh, take us right through the doorsAnd as we proceed, to mosh through this desert storm, in these closing statements, if they should argue, let us beg to differ, as we set aside our differences, and assemble our own army, to disarm this weapon of mass destruction that we call our president – for the present - and mosh for the future of our next generation, to speak and be heard…
Mr. President, Mr. Senator

And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not perceive the plank in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, “Brother, let me remove the speck that is in your eye,’ when you yourself do not see the plank that is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck that is in your brother’s eye. (Luke 6: 39-42)
What an odd entry under which to post this above comment? Could you possibly be arguing that the criticisms of Bush are minor? Was it meant for a JW-related post? Wow – I have no idea. It’s a wonderful biblical passage, and it has to do with self-righteousness. Still, it does not in any way undermine the need to toss the merchants from the temple, eh?
