Don't tell me we're not taking to the streets.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

System of a Down, "Boom" video, produced and directed by Michael Moore, only a few weeks before we invaded Iraq.

There was throw away coverage of the protests on the MSM.

Then, my daughter showed this to me.(you weren't going to see this on MTV in February 2003).


Watch it and marvel. Another place. Another time.

4. lyrics

I've been walking through your streets
Where all your moneys are earned
Where all your buildings crying
And clueless neckties working
Revolving fake-lawn houses
Housing all your fears
Desensitized by TV
Overbearing advertising
God of consumerism
And all your crooked pictures looking good
Mirrorism, filtering information for the public eye
Designed for profiteering
Your neighbor, what a guy.

BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!

Every time you drop the bomb, you kill the god your child has born-

BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!

Modern globalization
Coupled with condemnations
Unnecessary death
Matador corporations
Puppeting your frustrations with a blinded flag
Manufacturing consent is the name of the game
The bottom line is money
Nobody gives a FUCK
Four thousand hungry children leave us per hour from starvation
While billions are spent on bombs
Creating death showers

BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!

Every time you drop the bomb, you kill the god your child has born-

BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!

Boom-Boom-Boom-Boom-Boom-Boom-Boom!

Why must we kill our own kind?

BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!

Every time you drop the bomb, you kill the god your child has born.

BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!

Boom-Boom-Boom-Boom-Boom-Boom-Boom-Boom!

Every time you drop the bomb.

8. Damn, now I am going to have to get this album!! n/t

Edited to add: What is the name of the album this song comes from?

5. We've been in the streets and we will continue.

The 4th anniversary of the Invasion of Iraq will be March 20th. I haven't decided to stay and do something here or go to Washington.

I feel like going to Washington to let the new Congress know we aren't going away just because there's been an election.

its going to take more than that, and it won't be nearly so entertaining.
