It was a ruff night

Turned into years in an unknown land

Just a grudge fight

Cooked up by the DC suites on hand

We had a hard time

But we tried to understand

These born-again gunpoint libertines

Then they sold us down the face of the mighty river

Sold turpentine for tea

Hold me now it's the evil liberator

And he's coming with a gang of thieves

In the firelight

Of the torched out refineries

He sat upright

The poster boy for the IMC

A poor man fights and dies for what a rich man only believes

Sure as a blind man does not see the floor

Then they sold us down the face of the mighty river

Sold turpentine for tea

Hold me now it's the evil liberator

And he's coming with a gang of thieves

And they say no battleship too big for the war emporium

It's give it all you got son and go back to where you're from

'Cause we're hiding in the wings, we're the super neocons

We got bombs and they got barrels of gasoline.

You know you'll have it coming if you say that there is nothing to see

In the desert night

They listened for the baying of the hounds

But it wasn't quite right

no sign of the weather underground

And they were keepin' a sharp eye

They never saw what they had found

At last it was only you and me

Then they sold us down the face of the mighty river

Sold turpentine for tea

Hold me now it's the evil liberator

And he's coming with a gang of thieves

And they say no battleship too big for the war emporium

It's give it all you got son and go back to where you're from

'Cause we're hiding in the wings, we're the super neocons

We got bombs and they got barrels of gasoline.

You know you'll have it coming if you say that there is nothing to see
