lyrics

Are you surprised to find out the president has lied, inherent corruption of mind. It seems like our population is blind yet it’s written in our history. Johnson told a big old lie, his motivation to justify the war in Vietnam through the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution. George Bush Sr. was no exception built his campaign on a slogan, “No new taxes for the middle class” yet they went up at record levels. Did you ever hear of Iran-Contra? Reagan swore he wouldn’t deal with terrorists, sold missiles to Iran, when caught he claimed, “good intentions.” Andrew Jackson was a real bastard, broke some treaties with the Natives. The Cherokees won in Supreme Court but he wouldn’t support. Are you surprised..... Harry Truman told a lie August 6th or 45’ “Hiroshima and armed target” yet rated civilian by the U.S. Army. Bay of Pigs and JFK funded by the CIA swore not to invade Cuba the next day they shot a U.S. bomber. 2nd war in Iraq, “threat of imminent attack, no weapons found but they could have built them” now it’s about their “liberation.” Though it had no real importance, Clinton lied and under oath, “no relations with that woman” though it was stupid I ask you.... Will they ever tell the truth, I doubt it based on what they’ve proven.
