The movie ran through me
The glamour subdue me
The tabloid untie me
Im empty please fill me
Mister anchor assure me
That baghdad is burning
Your voice it is so soothing
That cunning mantra of killing
I need you my witness
To dress this up so bloodless
To numb me and purge me now
Of thoughts of blaming you
Yes the car is our wheelchair
My witness your coughing
Oily silence mocks the legless
Boys who travel now in coffins

On the corner (corner)
The jurys sleepless (sleepless)
We found your weakness (weakness)
And it’s right outside your door

Now testify
Now testify
Its right outside your door
Now testify
Yes testify
Its right outside your door

With precision you feed me
My witness I’m hungry
Your temple it calms me
So I can carry on
My slaving, sweating,
The skin right off my bones
On a bed of fire I’m choking
On the smoke that fills my home
The wrecking ball is rushing
Witness your blushing
The pipeline is gushing
While here we lie in tombs

While on the corner (corner)
The jurys sleepless (sleepless)
We found your weakness (weakness)
And it’s right outside your door

Now testify
Yeah testify
Its right outside your door
Now testify
Now testify
And it’s right outside your door

Mass graves for the pump and the price is set, and the price is set
Mass graves for the pump and the price is set, and the price is set
Mass graves for the pump and the price is set, and the price is set
Mass graves for the pump and the price is set, and the price is set

Who controls the past now controls the future
Who controls the present now controls the past
Who controls the past now controls the future
Who controls the present now?

Now testify
Testify
Its right outside your door
Now testify
Testify
Its right outside your door

look, Going into iraq was probably a stupid idea, but we can't leave iraq now, right before the constitution sets in, and before the iraq military is able to handle themselves. We need to win this war, packing out at this point is not an option.

Oh yeah, this poll isnt biased at all.

If anyone wants to see Schwarzwald's argument completely spanked, go to his other thread here - http://www.politicalforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=10168 -

I dont usually gloat, but he really was asking for it.

I couldnt help but notice that the poll is currently 0-3...um...does that mean even Schwarzwald beclieves we should stay in Iraq? heh heh

What it means is that nobody with a grain of common sense thinks that leaving Iraq will achieve peace. And, it means that Schwarzwald apparently didn't vote in his own poll.

I believe that we must do whatever it takes to destroy every remaining terrorist. If that means persistent bombing, so be it. It's better than having our boys die.

Well, Schwarzwald, it looks like your absurdy biased wording didnt work...0-5 in favor of "continuing the slaughter" heh heh

Its funny how Rage Against the Machine claims to be fighting for peace, by advocating violence against our government.... something about that just doesn't really seem to pan out for me.

Don't get me wrong though, I love their music. They were one of the most successful bands of the mid-90's, and for good reason. But it was their music that people liked, not their politics.

Rage Against the Machine are a joke. Even when I was a Commie I thought they were a joke...it is so obvious they dont believe their own ideology I dont see how anyone can take them seriously. They are practically a parody.
