From the heights of hypocrisy
Come the drones of democracy
To the weddings of Yemenis
With homes and families
It’s like ice
Gifts from heaven comes
Called the cluster bombs
Made by hand in Newtown
Massachusetts
To shred the fields of flesh
To wet the dust with life
To free the hate – ah, democracy
What if you knew them
Charred on the ground?
What would even up the score?
If I forgave you
Would you end your endless war?
I am nobody
You call me the enemy
I, too, am a drone
The unknown unknown
Drone of democracy
I sleep in western peace
Waiting to be told
When to explode
What if you knew them
Charred up on the ground?
What would even up the score?
If I forgave you
Would you end your endless war?
Come the drones of democracy
To the weddings of Yemenis
With homes and families
It’s like ice
Gifts from heaven comes
Called the cluster bombs
Made by hand in Newtown
Massachusetts
To shred the fields of flesh
To wet the dust with life
To free the hate – ah, democracy
What if you knew them
Charred on the ground?
What would even up the score?
If I forgave you
Would you end your endless war?
I am nobody
You call me the enemy
I, too, am a drone
The unknown unknown
Drone of democracy
I sleep in western peace
Waiting to be told
When to explode
What if you knew them
Charred up on the ground?
What would even up the score?
If I forgave you
Would you end your endless war?
