1. Another useless death for the Insaniator. |
|
Another coffin will come back hidden from public view.
Another family will grieve.
We must have peace NOW.

We show the coffins here partylessinOhio :cry: Long Time Gone Lyrics
It's been a long time comin' It's goin' to be a long time gone. And it appears to be a long, Appears to be a long, Appears to be a long time, Yes, a long, long, long, long time, Before the dawn.
Turn, turn any corner. Hear, you must hear what the people say, You know there's something that's goin' on around here, That surely, surely, surely won't stand the light of day. And it appears to be a long, (yes it does) Appears to be a long, Appears to be a long time, Such a long, long, time, Before the dawn.
Speak out, you got to speak out against the madness You got to speak your mind, If you dare. But don't, no don't no try to get yourself elected. If you do you had better cut your hair. And it appears to be a long, (yes it does) Appears to be a long Appears to be a long time, Such a long, long, long, long time, Before the dawn.
It's been a long time comin', It's going to be a long time gone. But you know, the darkest hour, Is always, always just before the dawn. And it appears to be a long, Appears to be a long, Appears to be a long time, Such a long, long, long, long time before the dawn- Crosby Stills Nash Young

6. Thank you. The media needs to show them too. We should not hide |
|
the valiant dead soldiers. Their lives were valuable and they have earned our respect. They should not be forgotten so *'s war seems surgical and acceptable.

(Monster) Once the religious, the hunted and weary Chasing the promise of freedom and hope Came to this country to build a new vision Far from the reaches of kingdom and pope Like good Christians, some would burn the witches Later some got slaves to gather riches
But still from near and far to seek America They came by thousands to court the wild And she just patiently smiled and bore a child To be their spirit and guiding light
And once the ties with the crown had been broken Westward in saddle and wagon it went And 'til the railroad linked ocean to ocean Many the lives which had come to an end While we bullied, stole and bought our a homeland We began the slaughter of the red man
But still from near and far to seek America They came by thousands to court the wild And she just patiently smiled and bore a child To be their spirit and guiding light
The blue and grey they stomped it They kicked it just like a dog And when the war over They stuffed it just like a hog
And though the past has it's share of injustice Kind was the spirit in many a way But it's protectors and friends have been sleeping Now it's a monster and will not obey
(Suicide) The spirit was freedom and justice And it's keepers seem generous and kind It's leaders were supposed to serve the country But now they won't pay it no mind 'Cause the people grew fat and got lazy And now their vote is a meaningless joke They babble about law and order But it's all just an echo of what they've been told Yeah, there's a monster on the loose It's got our heads into a noose And it just sits there watchin'
Our cities have turned into jungles And corruption is stranglin' the land The police force is watching the people And the people just can't understand We don't know how to mind our own business 'Cause the whole worlds got to be just like us Now we are fighting a war over there No matter who's the winner We can't pay the cost 'Cause there's a monster on the loose It's got our heads into a noose And it just sits there watching
(America) America where are you now? Don't you care about your sons and daughters? Don't you know we need you now We can't fight alone against the monster

3. Stack another one on to the pile |
|
Grass Bush
Pile the bodies high in Austerlitz and Waterloo Iraq Shovel them under and let me work-- I am the grass; bush; I cover all.
And pile them high in Gettyburg Baghdad And pile them high in Ypres and Vedum Mossoul and Al Fallaujah
Two years, ten years, and passengers ask the conductor: What place is this?
I am the grass bush. Let me work.

9. Actually, this looks like it happened in Western Anbar, not Falluja |
|
Western Anbar province is more the border tows with Syria, like al Qaim. Fallujah is only 50 miles or so west of Baghdad

13. Bring them home NOW!!! |
|
GWB and his cult of neocon followers don't give a rat's ass about our military men and women. They're just cannon fodder for the corporatists's grab for Middle East Oil. Numbers, just numbers.
BRING THEM HOME NOW!
