It’s 9/11
That thing we’re all going to watch
On television is about to happen
The pale blue sky is perfect
Ready for the cameras
Members of the audience
Are unconsciously gathering
Settling
Picking spots and chatting
Sharing popcorn, buying colas
Trust me, it’ll be amazing
The people not responsible
Will be taught a terrible lesson
Towns will be obliterated
Cities reduced to rubble
Fireworks costing trillions
Will be used to show us winning
Liberating Babylon
It’s how we deal with things
In a democracy. Seriously
Victory is the message
Great Britain loves America
Laurel and Hardy
Bush and Blair, our leaders
Killing farmers, peasants
Entire families. All ages
No distinctions
Attending weddings on a mountain
In a country somewhere different
We don’t need to know their language
Freedom’s universal
