bombed the medicine factory in Baghdad last year / Hypnotize / blindly convinced
that it was a weapons factory. It could as well be /___________________/ about massacres in
general, where everything is slaughtered - hate. Tunings: Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb C# G# C# F# A# D# Gtr I - Electric, Distorted

machines Have consumed our euphoria Transforming us into muted
dreams Dreaming of the day that We attack Attack, attack our fatal
servitude We attack Attack, attack with pesticide We attack All the years of propaganda We shall attack! Bombs illustrate what we already
know Candles cry towards the sky Bracing your plants of a polluted
coast Dreaming of the day that Was the philosophy of displaced
minds The bombing of all homes and
villages? Truth is the only sort we
demise Pleading till the day that Attack all the homes and
villages Attack all the schools and
hospitals You have attacked all the innocent
villages We shall attack! - 16th /December /05 Just mail me at Maitinin@gmail.com with
