The Common man .
Bagdad bleeds live video feeds.
Warmongers push their pompous plan.
Who pays, who pleads, who cries, who heeds,
what cares, the common man.
Tempers boil, blood for oil,
to feed the burning Bush demand.
Who stays, who spoils beneath the soil,
what cares the common man?
The court's adjourned the plan is spurned.
Who dares to take Afghani's stand?
Who learns, who burns, who takes their turns,
what cares the common man?
US attacked, they smelled Iraq.
The Holy Shit just hit the fan.
The fire flies, in Allah's skies,
what cares the common man?
Coalition plies Attrition,
can't wash the blood off of its hands.
Enough, no fair, the Britains Blair,
what cares the common man?
To be your best, at their behest
Liberty, stands, on helping hands,
it's live or die, the reasons why?
What cares the common man?
