My best friend was killed in Afgahnistan yesterday
My sympathies. What can one say? We didn't learn from 2000 years experience, or from the Russians last foray? Send the politicians and let THEM die? One death can affect SO many people, extended family and friends, or others who worked with a person and liked them.
Ozzy was singing this 42 years ago, hard to believe its been that long. Hardly gets played on the air now thanks to this
Following the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, the song was placed in the list of post-9/11 inappropriate titles distributed by Clear Channel.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_Pigs
Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerers of death's construction
In the fields the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds
Oh lord yeah!
Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor
Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait 'til their judgement day comes
Yeah!
Now in darkness world stops turning
Ashes where the bodies burning
No more war pigs have the power
Hand of God has struck the hour
Day of judgement, God is calling
On their knees the war pig's crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan laughing spreads his wings
Oh lord yeah!
