No Apologies - Joni Mitchell

The general offered

No apologies

He said «The soldiers erred in judgement

They should have hired a hooker»

No apologies

To the outraged Japanese

No «Sorry little girl»

The pigs just took her

Tireskids and teethmarks

What happened to this place?

Lawyers and loan sharks

Are laying America to waste

Freddie said that «Juan thinks, I think

He’s the devil»

What a lofty title

For such a petty little tyrant

Bigger beasts abound

And they kick this world around

At this crazy speed

With violence and greed

Tireskids and teethmarks

What happened to this place?

Lawyers and loan sharks

Are laying America to waste

So what makes a man a man

In these tough times

As druglords buy up the banks

And warlords radiate the oceans

Ecosystems fail

Snakes and snails and puppy tails

Are wagging in the womb

Beneath the trampled moon

Tireskids and teethmarks

What happened to this place?

Lawyers and loan sharks

Are laying America to waste

The general offered

No apologies
