They came disguised as movie stars wearing Ray Bans and
Submachine guns like those figures right out of fiction movies
Their mission was "bringing democracy" they said
Some among you whispered distrust, some dared to hope
Some waited for WMD to be found,
Some even waited for justice while your army was trained to fell you down
Some died or tortured in prisons and some in line to vote,
While your leaders been selected for you
They hanged the truth in the air along with common criminals,
None of us did care enough to do something
We kept reading headlines written by embedded newsman
Your body count never stopped but we hold on to our silence
You should neither forget nor forgive us for not standing by your side
No one ever could claim that the world outside didn’t know
What we lacked was courage and humanity; we were acting as we didn’t care
To tell the truth, no one did; not really otherwise you would be free by now
We still act the same; my heart aches to say this
But you are on your own, please don’t count on us
These dark materials will fill our history books some day
I am sure our kids will be fed by them to grow as stupid as us
The truth is out there not hidden but ignored
The same truth that should save you now
You should not forget our betray neither should you forgive
If all we offer is pity and silence, none does you any good
