SUPA DUBYA
4o. del Tren
a new age has dawned rising from the ashes of the innocent
my dead versus your dead let's see who can get more militant
blood for blood, pound for pound, an eye for an eye
my tribal god has told me that i must murder or die
you kill ten of mine, i must kill ten thousand of yours
preemptively decapitating all those who dare to oppose
shoot the motherfuckers now, and ask questions much later
terrorist, freedom fighter, innocent bystander, instigator
it don't matter, your ass is brown, you got a towel on top of your head
you pray to a foreign god, you pray to mine or i'll shoot you dead
patriots, sidewinders, m-1's and f-16's
the most beautiful display of destruction mankind has ever seen
i'm not an invader, i came here to liberate your people
i'm carpet bombing your mosques so i can build my church steeples
yeah, freedom and democracy, baseball and apple pie
buy and consume or go bye bye bye
now who the fuck do you think you are to go against my manifest destiny
i got a mandate from my god to smite all of my enemies
look at me the wrong way and i'll put your ass on my shit list
what? you want some of this, bitch? i'll take you for a ride, with no witness
what would jesus do? fuck that, you know it's just a front
to appease the bible thumpers while i do what the fuck i want
propagatin propaganda, live in fear and i'll protect ya
i'll raise the terror alert and you know that i'm gonna check ya
what books do you read, who do you talk to, where you goin, what's your habit?
gimme all your information right now, what's your number i gotta have it
big brother ain't got shit on me, i got eyes in the back of your brain
my name is supa dubya and i've come to bring you the pain
=============
the usurping bastard child of an archaic plutocratic system
what's my fucking name..?! if it was something else you'd have missed him
playing games with poppy's cash, let's bankrupt the company make bank on the options
fuck the pension plan, fuck aunt millie, neck deep in corruption
power to the people, no the power belongs to the white men in white collars
gathering every single day to worship in the temple of the dollar
mr greenspan, mr greenspan, tell me which way the wind blows
and why are all these people jumping out of their fuckin windows?
why are all these mothers crying for children that won't return
their blood spilling in the desert while the city of baghdad burns
the black blood that feeds the empire must never stop flowing
no price is too high, we must keep shocking and awing
it's the project for the new american century, the new world order
an empire disguised as democracy, prostituted and distorted
you think this shit started the day the towers came falling down?
no, it's an old idea we've been munching on and kicking around
we've been waitin to scratch that itch for a long time in mesopotamia
even though we all know the hijackers were mostly saudi arabian
pay no mind to the lies, the shell games and deception
we're here to fight for your freedom, we're only here for your protection
i don't remember guadalcanal, antietam, normandy or the mekong
i'm sending you and your neighbor's kid to die like i'm on playstation ghost recon
playin like i'm a top gun, mission accomplished on an aircraft carrier
workin hard every day to make the world scarier and scarier
a kinder, gentler version of daddy, check this conservative's compassion
read my lips, motherfuckers, time for lights camera and action
this power trip shit gets me higher than back in the day, doin cocaine
my name is supa dubya and i'm really fucking insane
====================
i'm settin the stage for a show for which you've never seen an equal
you thought 9/11 was tight, hold up, i'm gettin ready for the sequel
whatever the cost, whatever the price to buy me four more years
a few more terror attacks, more lies to keep you living in fear
call rush, call o'reilly, get on the phone with mr. hannity
spin the web of deception so we can continue with this insanity
don't ask too many questions, deploy weapons of mass distraction
prepare the foot soldiers, it's almost time to jump into action
the second coming of the rapture, the last holy crusade
i'm smiting infidels left and right, giving them a taste of my righteous blade
the power to destroy the world right here in the palm of my hand
i'll bring you eternal salvation, by air, sea and by land
with us or against us, only two roads that you can choose
the almighty is on my side, and there's no way that i can lose
it's the coalition of the sellouts, motherfuck the united nations
i'm readin the bible and mein kampf for my divine inspiration
the ultimate corporate state, only dreamed of by mussolini
in the innermost of the inner circles, rubbin elbows and sippin martinis
in bed with ceo’s, saudi princes and israeli ministers
i serve only them and follow their orders, no matter how sinister
i'm the schoolyard bully, gimme your milk money and play my game
the only bastard on the planet gettin by on his fuckin last name
can't even pronounce nuclear missile, but i know how to pull the trigger
kick back and relax while the empire grows bigger and bigger
fuck genghis khan, fuck caesar, fuck alexander the great
i'm bigger than all those niggas, this is the perfect fascist state
don't mess with texas, motherfucker, don't mess with me or i'll blow your brains
i'm super duper dubya, this is my world and my game!!!

ABOUT "SUPA DUBYA"
We're living in dangerous times. Dangerous because "the most powerful man on earth", as Americans like to call their president, has unleashed a protracted war against an abstract enemy upon this world. Justifying his regime's actions by claiming to rid the world of tyranny and a supposed fight against terrorism, Bush & Co. found in the events of September 11, 2001, the launching pad for their agenda of imperial expansion.
Almost immediately, the government set the propaganda machine in motion, wrapping itself in the flag and other nationalist symbols and taking refuge in the fear, confusion and anger that followed the terrorist attacks. They repeated over and over those buzzwords that made it so easy for most Americans to believe that what was beginning was in fact a righteous war against an evil enemy and not the beginning of what they had planned to do all along... long before the election was stolen in 2000, and certainly LONG before the twin towers collapsed. Mass media - in particular, Rupert Murdoch's Fox News Channel - were a vital instrument in the carrying out of this task of propaganda. All those who opposed an invasion of Afghanistan (and later, of course, Iraq) were deemed anti-American, unpatriotic, or even worse... terrorist sympathizers.
Since the events of that day, the United States has inched ever closer to an Orwellian police state, in which citizens have been truly brainwashed into believing that this invasion serves a noble, even a holy purpose. What's even scarier, many of them, through the so-called Patriot Act and other measures adopted by the Bush regime, have been persuaded to surrender some of their civil liberties in the name of the so-called "war on terror". It wasn't until just over a year or so ago that serious questions about the intent and agenda of the Iraq occupation have been raised in the mainstream media, and the anti-Bush crowd began to become less a fringe movement of radical nuts and more the rational, objective and serious questioning of the decisions made and policies adopted by the current Administration. It had become impossible to remain quiet in the face of such blatant violations of international law and diplomacy, witnessing the unilaterals actions of a small group acting not in behalf of freedom, morality and democracy, but in the best interests of the corporate and military elite of the right-wing powers around the world.
With this track we have tried to put into perspective a glimpse of what the Bush/Cheney regime truly represents, and the means with which they have achieved their goals, as well as what we believe to be the truth in the alleged war on terror, its origins, its true motives and ends. Perhaps to some the lyrics of the song will seem extremist or radical. It might be especially difficult for some Americans to stomach; however, we believe that we truly have not exaggerated in our statements. We must be conscious and aware of the many different ways in which our perceptions and convictions are shaped. We must know our sources of information, whose interests they truly serve; and most of all, we must be aware of our own history and past as a species, so we may better understand what is currently going on and so we may have the capacity to put it into a perspective and not fall into the fatal error of limiting our memory to the here and now..."
