You took us all to War
With your 45 minute lie
It took one young brown-skinned boy
Just 45 seconds to die
You drop bombs
And you made martyrs
When you dropped your toys
And then you gave those dum-dum bullets
To the dumb dumb boys
Brazilian Son
Some mother’s son
You took us all to War
With your 45 minute shit
It took one young brown-skinned boy to make non-sense of it
You dropped bombs
And you made martyrs
But what the fuck’s it for?
You pass the buck
Then fuck off on a lecture tour
Brazilian Son
Some mother’s son
Brazilian Son
Could have been your son…
Ohhh… oh yeah
Ohhh… oh yeah
Ohhh… yeah
Dear Tony
Ohhh…
You took us all to War
With your 45 minute crap
You caught one young brown-skinned boy
In your History Trap
You dropped bombs
And you made martyrs
And what’s a boy to do
When you give those dum-dum bullets
To the Boys in Blue?
Ohhh… oh yeah
Ohhh… oh yeah
Oh no, Dear Tony
I never asked you to kill in my name
Oh no, Dear Tony
Do you hear the shame
When I say his name
Do you hear the shame Dear Tony?
I no, Dear Tony
I never asked you to kill in my name
His mother’s famous now
She’s on the BBC
Wrapped around in Union Jacks for the World to see
She cries
She flies the flag
She looks up to the sky
What’s the point of a Flag of Faith
When Governments lie???
