Guantanamo - Venerea

I was a human shield

Cause it felt so wrong

That so many would die

Just to get one bad guy

I meant to do no harm

Committed no great crime

Just happened to be at

The wrong place at the wrong time

A population in denial

Ignorant of acts of war

When the military’s witch trials

A population in denial

Light that fat cigar

And the military’s witch trials

Martial law in Murphy’s name — Guantanamo

Bang and blame is the name of the game — Guantanamo

Double hearsay’s proof enough — Guantanamo

You can’t afford to call the bluff — Guantanamo

For their god and country

None of whom I trust

I was placed before a

Forties-style war tribunal

No lord’s my shepherd

But now I’m their scapegoat

Just one of hundreds

Of potential terrorists

For «the safety of the nation»

I was swept under the rug

Of an unrighteous occupation

To protect the population

This Dumbo-threatening bug

Was put in hibernation

Martial law in Murphy’s name — Guantanamo

Bang and blame is the name of the game — Guantanamo

They decide what is true — Guantanamo

Judge and jury and hangman too — Guantanamo
