1
We've annihilated a nation now the retribution begins
2
Each day claims a life and a half dozen limbs
3
Violent backlash
4
The postwar fallout has turned into a bloodbath
5
Occupation not liberation
6
Nation building has been paved over by desperation
7
Trapped in this quagmire
8
American brutality throwing fuel on the fire
9
A sea of blood floods the occupied land
10
While the village idiot plays war in the sand
11
In the presidential sandbox he's out of harm's way
12
Protected by the privilege that allows him to play
13
That's shielded him from danger and still hides his desertion
14
And demands that those less privileged shoulder his burden
15
He'll sacrifice your life to provide his with privilege
16
Using his little toy soldiers as political leverage
17
he's got his bombs in the air and his pawns in a row
18
And thousands of broken toys buried six feet below
19
Retribution
20
His ignorant arrogance is being paid for with lives
21
Of the thousands of soldiers who fell for his lies
22
He's annihilated a nation now the retribution begins
23
Each day claims a life and a half dozen libs
24
He's sown the seeds for more hate and distrust
25
He's justified their contempt for us
26
"The Christian crusader" taking on the gutter religion
27
In the name of god he's murdered their children
28
He's a warmongering coward who's got blood on his hands
29
He sent his toys thousands of miles to draw a line in the sand
30
Now there's thousands of lines all illustrated in chalk
31
Slaughtered and maimed in what they were told would be a cakewalk
32
Retribution
33
His ignorant arrogance is being paid for with lives
34
Of the thousands of soldiers who fell for his lies
35
He's annihilated a nation now the retribution begins
36
Each day claims a life and a half dozen limbs
37
He claims to be fighting the war against terror and winning
38
But we haven't' seen anything yet this is just the beginning
39
He invaded their land for alleged terrorist involvement
40
Now that land's become a breeding ground for actual
41
Recruitment
42
Where they're kidnapping foreigners and cutting off heads
43
This is the extremism that our brutality's bred
44
This is Bush's idea of making us safer
45
Escalating the violence and inviting more danger
46
Our presence in the middle east will always be resented and hated
47
Those occupied aren't so easily placated
48
They see first hand the brutality and abuse
49
They don't have the situation spoon-fed to them by corporate news
50
They hear the cries of their children after we've severed their limbs
51
They see American soldiers torturing and killing civilians
52
How do we apologize to these children that we mutilated in error?
53
If we had to look in their eyes would we be able to look in the mirror?
54
Retribution

His ignorant arrogance is being paid for with lives
56
Of the thousands of soldiers who fell for his lies
57
He's annihilated a nation now the retribution begins
58
Each day claims a life and a half dozen limbs
