I know this subject has been worn out musically. But I just had to have my say!
Dust For Dust (Twin Towers Rag)
Some coverts call it courage
but it's just a coward's role
from Babylon where sly deals
fight freedom's worthy goals.
The innocent still suffer
while scores are gettin stored
right under the protection
of the laws we enforce.
Within our liberal towers
murdered while they're young
we lose our sacred legends
at hands of evil scum.
We can bear our children
in the land of the free...
how they gonna die next time??
Chorus
It's dust for dust
with that gloomy warning
the time is up!
There's children on the streets
and children in our trust
there's an eye for an eye
and there's dust for dust.
By fortified pennance
our rules can be undone
we all hear false witness
while we're justice hung.
We see how wicked works
behind our words of truth
look out! who's that migrant!
standing next to you?
Yet there beneath the farce
where social songs drum
where's the resurrection
bringing back our sons?
We can bear our children
in the land of the free
how they gonna die next time??
Chorus:
It's dust for dust
with that gloomy warning
the time is up!
There's children on the streets
and children in our trust
there's an eye for an eye
and there's dust for dust.
