White People and the Damage Done

Lyrics

White people and the damage done Wild West still going on Genocide, plunder, and disease Just scratching fleas No, no, no It don't need to be so Put down the guns and the greed Let people live and learn We'd all be more secure If the rest of the world Ain't treated like slaves So we can buy cheap things Yeah White people and the damage done We built Mujahideen in Afghanistan To trick the Russians who hadn't yet invaded Look what happened No, no, no We should have left them alone Great game at the time But look what we let loose There'd be no 9-11 If we never gave money and guns To jihad nuts we can't control or understand Yeah Yeah Hatched from the best schools Bred from the best blood Experts who best know What's best for you without asking you Fall of Rome wasn't built in a day This is how it got that way When everything the experts touch Turns into the Titanic Iraq-ateering, Pinochet Oil disasters every day Crops you grew for centuries Now patented Monsanto seeds Pacify and civilize Means fences, toxic waste, and mines The Ark of the Lost Raiders Fukushimas every time Oh yeah Where do we go from here? Where we're called the Great Satan, I fear Iran was a democracy in the '50s Can't have that, can we? No, no, no It always goes so wrong Don't put the Shah back in Where'd we be today? They could have been our friends Instead they want us dead Would they want nukes If Israel gave up theirs? Yeah Yeah
