Annakin Slayd After The Fall Lyrics

Now I know Iraq is a tired and worn out subject
But five years on and the f*ckin' war's not done yet
There's lots to gain when Mesopotamian sunsets
But profits won't stop till Iranian blood lets
Guantanameras and Copacobanas
It's like Cuba before Fidel took hold of Havana
Before Fredo gave Johnny Ola the Tip off
Before Mikey took the dance floor for the kiss off
Like Roth some people think they'll live forever
But in these lands something just may give whenever
Seems the Bill of Rights was inked with a weak feather
With more and more Patriot Actors like Heath Ledger
The U.S. is like Auschwitz victims who used to be wealthy
Smearing blood on their faces trying to pretend that they're healthy
The Empire's at the edge, just needs a sound push
A clear result of too many beatings around the bush

After the fall before the crash
Should have known this was too good to last
Countdown for the Empire's ticking fast
And we got front row seats when it burns to ash
After the fall before the crash
Should have known this was just too good to last
The coliseum seats are filling up fast
We got ringside seats when it burns to ash

They say you, have to walk behind the people to lead them
But why bother when they're hooked on the lies you feed them
When they spoke of the warning signs, did you heed them?
Or did you convince yourself that money grew on trees then?
I guess it's time to pull that gun back out its holster
Cuz the real Uncle Sam was butcher before he was a poster
Blockbuster or Propaganda? More latter than former
Just have a second watch at 300 and Transformers So Michael Bay's the new Leni Riefenstahl
A last call to arms to let me heed the call
Lions and tigers and Mexicans, we need a wall!
Cause we don't want the new WTC to fall?
yeah, nations fall when their loot dies out
Well, it ain't all about the Benjamins in Dubai now
Now you reading the Wall Street journal more than you used to
and see that your own country hurts you more than the truth do

After the fall before the crash
Should have known this was too good to last
Countdown for the Empire's ticking fast
And we got front row seats when it burns to ash
After the fall before the crash
Should have known this was just too good to last
The coliseum seats are filling up fast
We got ringside seats when it burns to ash

You stride like a colossus, while counting losses
Paying privates to wrap flags around coffins
Moral directives can be horribly infective
Especially when you got no historical perspective
Land of the free? They gotta wanna be a part of it
That's what the Romans thought about the ancient Parthians
But when they defeated the armies of Crassus at Carrhae
They used his severed head as a prop while performing the Bacchae
Now there's a bit of irony in decapitation
When you apply it to your present day Iraqupation?
You were built on slaving, on sweatshop labour
Went from world liberators to the alien invaders
Just because Obama's in don't mean the drama ends
Can't just wipe clean this blitzkrieg of promises
You felt weapons of mass destruction without an explosion
Once the West was won, now it's time to fold ‘em
