YOU LIED
I found this on Song on Signs of The Times. It's the best song I have heard in a long time, I invite everyone to check this out. It's worth hearing. These are the same folks who came out with the Pentagon Strike Video.
Happy Birthday, America

The other day Bob Geldolf announced that artists participating in the Live8 concerts should stay away from criticizing President Bush.
Hmmm.
In a moment of fantasy, we wondered what kind of song we'd want to sing in those circumstances, the gauntlet having been thrown down as it were. They're a few things we'd like to say to Mr. Bush and his colleagues in Washington, not that he'd listen to us -- the Washington Post article about our Pentagon Strike flash didn't change anything and we're certain it caught the eye of the White House -- and to Mr. Geldolf who seems to be living in a lala land where mass demonstrations have an effect on the Bush administration. Didn't the millions of people in the streets prior to the illegal invasion of Iraq demonstrate clearly enough that Bush gets his orders elsewhere?
Well, the news today shows there ain't no hope for Geldolf's wishful thinking as Bush has declared he's going to put the US first, but we have never been enamoured with wishful thinking, preferring to look the world in the face and see it as objectively as possible.
Hence, this song:
You lied words & music by Signs of the Times
You told the world Saddam had chemical bombsTo kill us in our homes, and on our farmsYou said he sent his men into the heavensbig planes crashing down, September 11
You lied, You lied,People died,
When Bush lied
I've got some questions, wipe that smirk off your faceBetraying your people, that's a real disgraceSee I'm having a hard time finding that planethat you said hit the Pentagon, bursting into flamesVapourising the aircraft, didn't leave no remainsBut the bodies appear not to burn quite the same
More lies Yeah, yeah,
more liesAmerica died, When Bush lied
And talk about mir'cles, did you see how they fell,the three towers in New York, those charges worked wellFlattened out in a straight line, just like it was plannedDid you think we were so stupid that we wouldn't understandAnd it's a pity about the folks there on Flight 93,Just as they took back control, you blew them to smithereens
You lied, You lied
Heroes died, when Bush lied
You say Osama is living in a place you have tracedBut you don't go and get him, it seems such a wasteCould it be it's because he's still one of your menA C-I-A asset just like he was thenHe endorsed your campaign in a last minute pitchIs he just one more man who has gotten quite rich
From your lies, Your liesFreedom died, from your lies
How about those Israelis dancing to their success,On the rooftops of Jersey, they created a messSo you sent them back home with a slap on the wristTold the cops not to bother, 'cause they don't exist
It's a lie, You lied
Justice died, when you lied
Now people are dying through your crimes in IraqYou've killed more than Saddam, though you don't care to keep trackCause they're only some Arabs in a faraway landThat Yahweh has promised to his chosen bandWhile Sharon and his cronies pull on your stringsWhen he opens his mouth your whole government sings
His lies, His lies
Palestinians die, With Bush lies
Next time you talk to your God, I've got a question for himWhat side is he on or does it change on a whim'There's a whole lot of people, suff'rin here in his nameWhat kind of pyscho is he that he's playing this gameIt sounds more like the devil is guiding your handDestruction and death are the plagues of the land
of your lies, your lies
Children die,
When Bush lies
You see, Mr President, there's something amissTwo elections you lost, but you overcame thisBy rigging the vote, not counting the blacksYou've ensured two full terms, the dry drunk is backAnd now they're changing the laws to get you a thirdThe brown shirts are charging at the front of the herd
of your lies, your lies
Democracy dies, When Bush lies
The question remains what can we do about thisMost people refuse to consider this listThey're lost in illusion, can't recognise proofso we offer this song to all who stand for the truth
No more lies, No more liesMust we all die, Because of your lies
No more lies, No more liesMust we all die, Because of your lies
Your lies...
