American Genocide
What right do we have to fight the good fight, when we gave up the right to prevent genocide?
How can we say that we are the best, when the streets of America run red with their blood.
Its an American Genocide that we are promoting, when we sit idly by and do nothingIts an American Genocide, and I’m not going quiet.
Its an American Genocide, and we stand by and watch.
Its an American Genocide, and try to save Africa.
Its an American Genocide and its time to make it right.What are we doing, in a country not our own, while the blood is running in our own dooryards?
Why are fighting for rights in the East, while our very own nation murders four thousand a day?
Its an American Genocide that we are promoting, when we sit idly by and do nothingIts an American Genocide, and I’m not going quiet.
Its an American Genocide, and we stand by and watch.
Its an American Genocide, and try to save Africa.
Its an American Genocide and its time to make it right.

Tim,
Tell me that was a Derek Webb song. That sounds like something he would write. I like it!
Billy
nope, its an original.
I'm currently writing lyrics for an (envisioned) album (which in my head) I plan to call "American Genocide".
Let me know if you know anybody who might want to do some musical collaboration, or singing on the album.(hmhmmmmm)
Tim
" . . .or singing on the album . . .(hmhmmmmm)." Frog in your throat?

I'm totally giving my speech in Communications class on Abortion this Thursday. Thanks for stealing my thunder. :P
No, people need to know. Abortion is a critical issue that must be dealt with. The truth must be known.
