♫What is The Matter with You♫

I didn't know if I should put this song up, but then I realized that each song has a reason for being written and this one has more reasons than most songs, given the numbers of the dead and dying.

Lyrics-

It won't be long now before they're gone

It's only a matter of time

All of the lies just ran out of steam

Their days are numbered

if you know what I mean

They wore out their welcome a long time ago

I'm certain that they couldn't see

And I am certain that they didn't care

They won't be back. They wouldn't dare

Sooner or later, you lose all your friends

The ones with the bombs and the guns

The powerful friends from across the sea,

are just like that mouse in your pocket.

When someone asks you,

who is this we?

I wonder what your gonna say

It's like Tonto asked the Lone Ranger

What do you mean by we, white man?

What do you mean by... we?

History will not be kind

There are some things you can't unwind

There are some crimes that you can't undo

What in the fuck is the matter with you?

What in the fuck is the matter with you?

All that you did is now far and wide

You're a nation of cowards and thugs

You harm without mercy, you torture and laugh

You're just like Ed Fish in the old photograph

Now that God's angels have caught up to you

and now you have nowhere to go

what will you do when you're called to explain

the reasons you caused so much terrible pain

You're as mean as a three-headed dog

who snarls on a choke chain of hate

you can just stop your explaining.

It's far too little... and far too late...

History will not be kind

There are some things you can't unwind

There are some crimes that you can't undo

What in the fuck is the matter with you?

What in the fuck is the matter with you?

I'll bet you think you can still run a game

on what everyone saw to your undying shame

but you don't feel shame or anything much

You're all dead inside. Vampires don't blush

Tell me again how it's not your fault

All of the people you left in your wake

dying or dead ...or wishing they were

You're going to Hell, and make no mistake

History will not be kind

There are some things you can't unwind

There are some crimes that you can't undo

What in the fuck is the matter with you?

What in the fuck is the matter with you?

Israel is going down...

like a millstone in the sea...

One day it won't even be

a distant memory

No one's gonna cry or care

that alll of you are gone

It just begs the question,

what took so goddamn long

I really want to know,

why... it... took... so... long
