Where Were You On That One, Dipshit?

from The Untimely Demise Of A Once Well​-​Read Nation by Upinatem

lyrics

The common misconception, like some stuck-up high school girl, is that our overbearing superpower's loved by the whole world. A reflection of its ignorant, complacent citizens' non-opposition to a foreign policy endorsed by them. And then a scream across the sky, a surreal event that later they'd deny. An apocalyptic scene that I could never view as justified. But in shock we ask of ourselves, "Why? What reason did we give to fight? We never did a thing!" Yeah, right. Let's see if I can break it down so we both understand. They can't produce enough oil to fuel your thirsty Land Rovers. They buy it off some capitalist Saudi billionaire who thinks like us, with US bucks, and doesn't freakin' care if we help to defile his "holy land." We enlist and pay to help guard sand, at the risk of pissed off Muslims with "only sticks and stones." The oil company CEOs pay off their seventh homes. Then they have the nerve to jack the price the day the towers fell. You can bet those corporate hypocrites are gonna burn in hell.
