9/11 gave the reason that you needed
You backed up Bush, against Afghanistan
And when it came to Iraq, you set yourself as Macbeth
And doomed half a million children to death
They were too young to know they were Iraqiâs
But Tony didnât care, not one bit
You were thinking of the riches that were coming
And making sure that you got your share of it
Thereâs blood on your hands, but you donât mind it
The fact is that, you donât have a care,
Itâs money that you need, if you are to succeed
to turn your family into billionaires
Hypocrisyâs a price youâll pay gladly
It doesnât cost a dollar or a pound
Like the money from the Bank of England
It just keeps going round and around
Dr Kelly was collateral damage
In the fog of war, then going on
The files have been locked up forever
To cover up what had been done
Weâre working hard to get you to Strasburg
To the International Criminal Court
To answer for the crimes you did, in office
Taking Britain to an illegal war
If you think that all your money will protect you
Just think back to Libyaâs Gadhaffi
He had fabulous wealth, but was hit be-low the belt
When he mis-took
your smile as friendly
When you embraced him, your eyes took on a sparkle
At the thought of the riches, oh, so near
The Colonel was doomed and his country consumed
When he accepted just one embrace from you
The legacy â¦..that you have left your children
Really doesnât bear thinking about
Looking over their shoulders forever
Wondering when the vengeance will come about
Afghanâs have no possessions or money
family is their greatest value
When you kill one of them, they may come back for ten
Theyâre in no hurry, so what can you do
One day someone may come alongside you
And give you such a radiant smile
Theyâre off to paradise to meet some virgins
While youâll be going to hell for quite a while
