On Independence Day

I saw right through your eyes

I saw right through your guise

Every word that left you lips was

just a covert disguise to hide your absent mind

You live and breathe

Sleep and drink

Beg and plead

Blind diseased

No water can wash the blood off your hands

Traded the Nobel Peace Prize

Exchanged for Vietnamese lives

Bombs filled the Cambodian skies

In East Timor you stood up for the wrong sidewrong sidewrong side
