1
They haven't departed.
2
They haven't gone home.
3
The trials haven't started.
4
No evidence shown.
5
They don't get no visits.
6
They don't get no calls,
7
and nobody tells them nothing at all.
8
The headphones and the blindfolds,
9
the days and the weeks.
10
The overalls of orange, the manacled feet.
11
A Kafka-esque nightmare.
12
A legal black hole.
13
A corner of Cuba
14
amed Guantanamo.
15
The warmongers tell us
16
they gave up their rights
17
when they attacked us
18
and our way of life.
19
Oh but our way of life
20
depends on the law.
21
On liberty and freedom
22
and justice for all.
23
Well they talk about justice in the US of A.
24
It's the land of the free and the home of the brave.
25
Yeah, but outside of America anything goes.
26
From Bagram to Abu Ghraib
27
to Guantanamo.
28
In 70's Ulster the government thought
29
if they locked up the suspects
30
the terror would stop.
31
But all that internment actually did
32
was provide the Provos
33
with more angry kids.
34
Oh but sometimes I wonder if our leaders really care?
35
They rely on these demons to keep people scared.
36
And unwilling to question the fate of those poor souls who lie
37
rotting in the cages of Guantanamo
38
Try them or let then go.
39
You gotta try them or let them go.
