Laments of the 21th centuryIn the name of democracy
You came to destroy a country
Of many thousand years of culture and civilization
And to build your own model
In the name of democracy
You send your own soldiers
To search and destroy every home
Until no one can disagree
You will organize election
The candidates are the people you trust
Since they are on you payroll
And the people who vote
Will be protected by your police
In the name of fighting terror
You came with your mighty weapons
To terrorize a whole nation
With death and mass destruction
You try to control every street
But you don't even understand the language the people speak
Because you don't know who your friends are
You would rather treat them as suspects
In the name of compassion
You came to sow seeds of hatred
So the war on terror you wish to succeed
Can produce even more bloodshed
In the name of your own god
In the name of compassion
With you own definition of freedom and democracy
You will not leave any stone unturned to destroy the enemy
Scorching the earth and making the people suffer
That is not your intention
It makes you feel safer and less angry
Because between good and evil
You are on the right side of course
Can you believe in the twenty first century?
There are things that haven"t changed
You can come and change a country
And build whatever you want
As long as you have money and a powerful army
The only thing is
You will be there for a long time
And nobody knows the outcome!
