The Insurgents |
|
Surging in like sea waves do
Not a revolution not belligerency
But an uprising rising up
Of focused nameless opposition
Keeps you very busy
Farewell, I must leave, bye-bye
"The insurgency is sophisticated
and stronger than anticipated."
"My name is Isis" says a small child
"and that means Egyptian Goddess"
"No it means stupid dirty little girl"
says the California Secretary of Education
Constantly create the enemy
Constantly create the war
"I'm a war president, I'm a war president"
Belligerent naked lady stalks
Completely without leaves
On a cliff above the high tide surging
In a huge gathering flow
Can you beat THIS into submission?
