The Winter Of The Long Hot Summer - The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy[00:00:00]

It all seemed so idiotic all the accusations of unpatriotic[00:00:11]

The fall we'll always remember capitulating silence[00:00:17]

Election November before the winter of the long hot summer[00:00:20]

Somewhere in the desert we raised the oil pressure[00:00:25]

And waited for the weather to get much better[00:00:28]

For the new wind to blow in the storm[00:00:30]

We tried to remember the history in the region[00:00:33]

The French foreign legion Imperialism [00:00:36]

Peter O'Toole and hate the Ayatollah were all we learned in school[00:00:38]

Not that we gave Hussein five billion[00:00:44]

Not of our new bed partner the Syrian[00:00:46]

And of course no mention of the Palestine situation[00:00:49]

It was amazing how they steamrolled[00:00:54]

They said eighty percent approval[00:00:57]

But there was no one that I knew polled[00:00:59]

No one had a reason for being in the Gulf[00:01:02]

We waited for congress to speak up illegal build up[00:01:06]

But no one would wake up[00:01:09]

Our representatives were Milli Vanilli's[00:01:11]

For corporate Dallas Cowboy Beverly Hillbillies[00:01:14]

With perfect timing the politicians rhyming their sentiments[00:01:23]

So nicely oil gold and sand my sediments precisely[00:01:26]

We regretfully support the lunacy[00:01:33]

I'm afraid there is no time for more scrutiny[00:01:35]

National unity preserve our community[00:01:38]

Teflon election opportunities were in profundant abundance[00:01:42]

On January second the Bush administration[00:01:50]

Announced a recession had stricken the Nation the highest quarterly[00:01:52]

Earnings in ten years were posted by Chevron[00:01:57]

Meanwhile a budget was placed in our hands[00:02:06]

As the deadline in the sand came to an end[00:02:09]

So much for the peace dividend one billion a day is what we spent[00:02:11]

And our grandchildren will pay for it 'til the end[00:02:17]

When schools are unfunded and kids don't get their diplomas[00:02:22]

They get used for gun boat diplomacy disproportionately[00:02:25]

Black or brown we see bullet catchers for the slave master[00:02:30]

Then the conservatives called up reservists[00:02:39]

To active service left families nervous but more importantly broke nine Hundred a month but the check came late army red tape you see[00:02:41]

This golden opportunity we watched the tube and read the newspaper[00:02:53]

The propaganda of the gas masked rape[00:02:58]

Was the proper slander to whip up the hatred[00:03:01]

The stage was lit and the lights were all faded[00:03:04]

The pilots in night vision goggles Kuwaited and generals masturbated[00:03:07]

'Til the fifteenth two days later they invaded[00:03:11]

Not a single T V station expressed dissension or[00:03:17]

Hardly made mention to the censorship of information[00:03:21]

From our kinder and gentler nation blinder and mentaler retardation[00:03:25]

Disorientation the pilots said their bombs lit Baghdad[00:03:32]

Like a Christmas tree It was the Christian thing to do you see[00:03:36]

They didn't mention any casualties no distinction between the real[00:03:45]

And the proxy only football analogies[00:03:49]

We saw the bomb hole we watched the Super Bowl[00:03:55]

We saw the scud missile we watched Bud commercials[00:03:58]

We saw the yellow ribbons saw pilots in prison[00:04:00]

We never saw films of the dead at eleven[00:04:04]

Angela Davis addressed the spectators[00:04:12]

And shouting above a rumbling generator said[00:04:15]

"If they insist on bringing us down[00:04:18]

Then let's shut the whole country down"[00:04:20]

Marching through the downtown[00:04:23]

A hundred thousand became participants[00:04:25]

And we heard the drums of millions off in the distance[00:04:29]

Rushing through the cities some of them did things that weren't so pretty[00:04:34]

Most were there for primal scream therapy[00:04:40]

News men concentrated on the negative liked the jingoists more[00:04:45]

Peaceful protesters ended up on the cutting room floor[00:04:50]

Nintendo casualties of the ratings war[00:04:56]

More bombs dropped than in World War II[00:05:02]

On in both Asian invasions new world order persuasion[00:05:04]

Business as usual for our nation[00:05:10]

Could you imagine a hundred fifty thousand dead[00:05:18]

The city of Stockton coffins locked in when we clocked in[00:05:22]

Not to mention civilians the loss of life on both sides[00:05:26]

Pushed the limits of resilience the scent of blood in our nostrils[00:05:31]

Fuel of the fossil land of apostle[00:05:42]

The blackness that covered the sky was not the only thing[00:05:44]

That brought a tear to the eye or the taste of anger to the tongues[00:05:48]

Of those too young to remember Vietnam[00:05:52]

Is heroin better in a veteran's mind[00:06:02]

Than the memory of the dying laying in a line[00:06:04]

Is it the smell or the shadows heaving and weeping[00:06:07]

That keeps the soldier from sleeping as he sings the orphan's lullaby[00:06:10]

When the soldiers put down their bayonets[00:06:24]

The strings are chained to the marionettes[00:06:26]

Emir of Kuwait gets back in his jet[00:06:29]

We replace the dead with new cadets[00:06:32]

Will we hate those who did the shelling[00:06:35]

Or will we hate those who weren't willing to do the killing[00:06:41]

When the leaders of the bald eagles come home to roost[00:06:45]

Will we sing a song of praise and indebtedness[00:06:51]

For our deliverance from evil or will we sing a song of sadness[00:06:54]

For the dreaded debt this mess delivered us people[00:06:59]
