The Squall Lyrics - The Tossers

Well I often walk down to the pub in springtime 

To take the summer breeze and drink with friends 

But on the 12th day of September I went down there 

To the derision of all muslims and Afghans 

Being assaulted here in neighborhoods around me 

Personally and in their jobs and schools and homes 

And the barfly's said we should send 'em all back overseas 

Well will you be the one to pay for their plane fare home 

Well their women must come over here for sanctuary's sake 

Being the victims of honor killings still permissable in numerous states 

By fanatical law a shamed husband can gun 'em down you see 

When it's affirmed by family and state then they have no where to flee 

Well we should wipe 'em off the fuckin' map they tell me 

Cause we don't know when or where they will strike next 

But I say we don't know their custom or what's happened there 

Being American we've been veiled from that text 

Well it's easier to manipulate a leader who needs food and guns 

So we've promoted chaos over there all along 

To not have to deal with an independent stable oil power 

Who don't need us or could tell us so long 

And every time there's a faction with potential to out sell 

We profiteer 'em full of guns and missiles and so go out and kill 

We supported Iran and Iraq and Afghanistan oh dread 

Kids with guns starving to death if they get near you you're dead 

Oh take me away o'er the country side 

With no natural resource or bombs or peering eyes 

Away from the double standards practiced on both sides 

Oh please my noble statesmen make this over 

We've empowered leaders who've industrialized and overpopulated the towns 

Who steal their tax money as most jobs are taken now run by machines 

Our sale of food and aid get sanctioned if they don't sell oil cheap 

We starve 'em for their resource yeah we have 'em on their knees 

Well Israel's a source that does keep Arabs fighting 

So we've consistently vetoed their division in U.N. plans 

And we never sanction or exclude Israel outright 

Despite atrocities performed by their own hands 

And S.U.V.'s keep C.E.O.'s happy 'cause they're a status symbol and every one buys 

And they burn a lot more fuel so the oil industry's happy as flies 

On a shit that pollutes the air much worse then regular auto's will 

And they'll keep this industry funded no matter who must be killed 

We sent soldiers and weapons to the Afghanis to fight the occupying Russians 

To insure an alliance and insure their trade for oil 

And the communists fell anyway and we split breaking promises 

Of aid and rebuilding and governance and left them fighting off warlords in turmoil 

And they watched as we incinerated their brothers and sisters 

In Iraq now they think our policies unfair 

And that we condescend and meddle in their governments and destroy them 

They think oil's the only reason why we're there 

Instead of having a foreign policy for policing others and in defence 

We should define it by what we're for rather than what we're against 

What the perpetrators did is punishable and clearly shows to us 

That you can't subjugate others to your will by violence and mistrust
