Dust For Dust...Twin Towers Rag

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.
