《The Winter Of The Long Hot Summer》歌词

[00:00:00] The Winter Of The Long Hot Summer - The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy

[00:00:11] It all seemed so idiotic all the accusations of unpatriotic

[00:00:17] The fall we'll always remember capitulating silence

[00:00:20] Election November before the winter of the long hot summer

[00:00:25] Somewhere in the desert we raised the oil pressure

[00:00:28] And waited for the weather to get much better

[00:00:30] For the new wind to blow in the storm

[00:00:33] We tried to remember the history in the region

[00:00:36] The French foreign legion Imperialism

[00:00:38] Peter O'Toole and hate the Ayatollah were all we learned in school

[00:00:44] Not that we gave Hussein five billion

[00:00:46] Not of our new bed partner the Syrian

[00:00:49] And of course no mention of the Palestine situation

[00:00:54] It was amazing how they steamrolled

[00:00:57] They said eighty percent approval

[00:00:59] But there was no one that I knew polled

[00:01:02] No one had a reason for being in the Gulf

[00:01:06] We waited for congress to speak up illegal build up

[00:01:09] But no one would wake up

[00:01:11] Our representatives were Milli Vanilli's

[00:01:14] For corporate Dallas Cowboy Beverly Hillbillies

[00:01:23] With perfect timing the politicians rhyming their sentiments

[00:01:26] So nicely oil gold and sand my sediments precisely

[00:01:33] We regretfully support the lunacy

[00:01:35] I'm afraid there is no time for more scrutiny

[00:01:38] National unity preserve our community

[00:01:42] Teflon election opportunities were in profundant abundance

[00:01:50] On January second the Bush administration

[00:01:52] Announced a recession had stricken the Nation the highest quarterly

[00:01:57] Earnings in ten years were posted by Chevron

[00:02:06] Meanwhile a budget was placed in our hands

[00:02:09] As the deadline in the sand came to an end

[00:02:11] So much for the peace dividend one billion a day is what we spent

[00:02:17] And our grandchildren will pay for it 'til the end

[00:02:22] When schools are unfunded and kids don't get their diplomas

[00:02:25] They get used for gun boat diplomacy disproportionately

[00:02:30] Black or brown we see bullet catchers for the slave master

[00:02:39] Then the conservatives called up reservists

[00:02:41] To active service left families nervous but more importantly broke nine Hundred a month but the check came late army red tape you see

[00:02:53] This golden opportunity we watched the tube and read the newspaper

[00:02:58] The propaganda of the gas masked rape

[00:03:01] Was the proper slander to whip up the hatred

[00:03:04] The stage was lit and the lights were all faded

[00:03:07] The pilots in night vision goggles Kuwaited and generals masturbated

[00:03:11] 'Til the fifteenth two days later they invaded

[00:03:17] Not a single T V station expressed dissension or

[00:03:21] Hardly made mention to the censorship of information

[00:03:25] From our kinder and gentler nation blinder and mentaler retardation

[00:03:32] Disorientation the pilots said their bombs lit Baghdad

[00:03:36] Like a Christmas tree It was the Christian thing to do you see

[00:03:45] They didn't mention any casualties no distinction between the real

[00:03:49] And the proxy only football analogies

[00:03:55] We saw the bomb hole we watched the Super Bowl

[00:03:58] We saw the scud missile we watched Bud commercials

[00:04:00] We saw the yellow ribbons saw pilots in prison

[00:04:04] We never saw films of the dead at eleven

[00:04:12] Angela Davis addressed the spectators

[00:04:15] And shouting above a rumbling generator said

[00:04:18] "If they insist on bringing us down

[00:04:20] Then let's shut the whole country down"

[00:04:23] Marching through the downtown

[00:04:25] A hundred thousand became participants

[00:04:29] And we heard the drums of millions off in the distance

[00:04:34] Rushing through the cities some of them did things that weren't so pretty

[00:04:40] Most were there for primal scream therapy

[00:04:45] News men concentrated on the negative liked the jingoists more

[00:04:50] Peaceful protesters ended up on the cutting room floor

[00:04:56] Nintendo casualties of the ratings war

[00:05:02] More bombs dropped than in World War II

[00:05:04] On in both Asian invasions new world order persuasion

[00:05:10] Business as usual for our nation

[00:05:18] Could you imagine a hundred fifty thousand dead

[00:05:22] The city of Stockton coffins locked in when we clocked in

[00:05:26] Not to mention civilians the loss of life on both sides

[00:05:31] Pushed the limits of resilience the scent of blood in our nostrils

[00:05:42] Fuel of the fossil land of apostle

[00:05:44] The blackness that covered the sky was not the only thing

[00:05:48] That brought a tear to the eye or the taste of anger to the tongues

[00:05:52] Of those too young to remember Vietnam

[00:06:02] Is heroin better in a veteran's mind

[00:06:04] Than the memory of the dying laying in a line

[00:06:07] Is it the smell or the shadows heaving and weeping

[00:06:10] That keeps the soldier from sleeping as he sings the orphan's lullaby

[00:06:24] When the soldiers put down their bayonets

[00:06:26] The strings are chained to the marionettes

[00:06:29] Emir of Kuwait gets back in his jet

[00:06:32] We replace the dead with new cadets

[00:06:35] Will we hate those who did the shelling

[00:06:41] Or will we hate those who weren't willing to do the killing

[00:06:45] When the leaders of the bald eagles come home to roost

[00:06:51] Will we sing a song of praise and indebtedness

[00:06:54] For our deliverance from evil or will we sing a song of sadness

[00:06:59] For the dreaded debt this mess delivered us people
