S*H*A*M

Genocide is Faceless

Through earthly warming smog I see
Divisions all with things for me
The planes have all propelled my spree
We’ve atomized all I can see…

Genocide is faceless,
The charges all are baseless,
And we can make believe it wasn’t me…

I’ll try to find a way to fake
Present it as a coy debate
Whip up that effervescent hate
I’ll not, you know, capitulate…

Genocide is faceless,
The charges all are baseless,
And we can make believe it wasn’t me…

This game with strife it’s hard to say
I wouldn’t use it anyway
Misusing war will someday pay
So this is call for us to stay…

Genocide is faceless,
The charges all are baseless,
And we can make believe it wasn’t me…

The only sin is in defeat
I’ll mow them down in pure conceit
And to my brother give my seat
The drums of war an endless beat…

Genocide is faceless,
The charges all are baseless,
And we can make believe it wasn’t me…

My horde of crime is fierce with spin
They’ll always flirt with mortal sins
But as they clerk and prey on men
The gains grow larger… watch us grin, but…

Genocide is faceless,
The charges all are baseless,
And we can make believe it wasn’t me…

A grave man once suggested we,
“Should act like Christians, let it be…”
But if we’d leave Iraqis free
They may decide to come for me… cause…

Genocide is faceless,
The charges all are baseless,
And we can make believe it wasn’t me…
… And you will rue the blame game on your knees.
