Thirteen

...and then there is the media.
And I watched the news today
And I heard the people say
I don’t want to be in their shoes
From where I stand
Nothing to lose
Bombs over Baghdad
Bombs over Baghdad
Thirteen minutes till showtime
That’s what the news said
In my room it always plays
And I’m never far away
Magnetic as it all unfolds
The information takes control
Bombs over Baghdad
Bombs over Baghdad
Thirteen minutes till showtime
That’s what the news said
As a child I never dreamed
That watching war could be so clean
That with each kill we’re entertained
What have we now besides our shame?
Bombs over Baghdad
Bombs over Baghdad
Thirteen minutes till showtime
That’s what the news said
