The WAR RAP
Original lyrics by Bob Witanek, copyright 1984
It’s the Raw Machine Rap
and we’re here to say
We’re not gonna kill for oil today
WR_001
Coz we looked it up, checked out the scene
Not our idea of the American dream
Bout standing in the desert with a gun in the hand
WR_002
Sounds too much like another Vietnam
It’s the War Rap, HAHA
The government trap
the US troops are all over the map
WR_000
It’s the war rap HA
We’re not gonna go!
It’s the war rap
Leave the brothers alone
Bush was talking on my tv
set
WR_003_Bush <quick flash>
Tried to change the channel but he wasn’t done yet
WR_003_Bush <quick flash>
The knob got stuck I was out of luck
WR_003_Bush <quick flash>
Had to listen to that frat boy yuck
WR_003_Bush <quick flash>
He was talking junk about the boys over there
Trying to keep us all safe from the terrist scare
WR_004_Boys
Dying by the thousands killing em too
Trying to paint the whole world red white and blue
WR_0005_RWB
It’s the War Rap, HAHA
The government trap
the US troops are all over the map
It’s the war rap HA
We’re not gonna go!
It’s the war rap
Leave the Iraqis alone
A recruiter man for Uncle
Sam
Giving his rap about the 4 year plan
Be All You Can Be . . . .Join the Ar-mee
Coz nothing but a soldier’s all you’ll ever be!
WR_005_AllUCan
Coz they ain’t no jobs and your still in school . ..
You just might drown in the labor pool
So you sign the line now your doing some time
In basic training where they whip your behind
Now they got you trained they control your brain
You’re ready to kill when they say your name
WR_006_Ready
You’re just a grunt . . . on the front . . .
It’s dark and scary so you start to jump
WR_007_Dark
But there’s no escape, no getting away
When you’re cannon fodder for the CIA!
WR_007_Cannon
It’s the War Rap, HAHA
The government trap
the US troops are all over the map
It’s the war rap HA
We’re not gonna go!
It’s the war rap
Leave the Iraqis alone
Me and my boy was on the
firing line
Bombs a dropping and bullets a flying
WR_008_MyBoy
One comes close he says ol’ spit
I turned and looked – home boy was hit
He lost his eyes and half his face
WR_009_Lost <Flash>
His blood and guts was all over the place
WR_009_Lost <Flash>
They pronounce him late – 3 hours late
WR_010_3Hrs <Flash>
His waiting time was the price he paid
For Democracy in the USA
WR_011_USA <Flash>
It’s hypocrisy – the American Way
WR_011_USA <Flash>
It’s the War Rap, HAHA
The government trap
the US troops are all over the map
It’s the war rap HA
We’re not gonna go!
It’s the war rap
Leave the sisters alone
It’s enough to make you
wonder why
The young and the poor are the ones who will die
WR_012_YP
And you know the rich are the ones who will be
Getting richer off of world war 3
They’re selling the bombs, the tanks and the guns
WR_013_Weapons
For the government’s war games they start them for fun
Yes it’s Uncle Sam with his imperial plan
WR_014_Bodies1 <flash>
Plunder resources – Rape the Land!
WR_015_Baby <flash>
Use the starving masses as a cheap labor source
WR_016_Child <flash>
And when the natives get restless – repress them with force
WR_017_Repress
So corporations and the CIA
Can cart resources and profits away
WR_018_Grave
It’s the War Rap, HAHA
The government trap
the US troops are all over the map
It’s the war rap HA
We’re not gonna go!
It’s the war rap
Leave the Iraqis alone
So we’re rocking the house
And we’re turning out
We’re learning what the struggle is all about
We’re gonna hit the streets, we’re gonna set them free
From war, oppression and poverty
Coz we’re young and we’re poor
We know the score
We’re not gonna die in a Third World War
Coz we learned to resist
We’re gonna insist
Peace is a virtue we don’t want to miss!
So if you ask us today you’re gonna here us say
We won’t give our lives for oil today!
It’s the War Rap, HAHA
The government trap
the US troops are all over the map
It’s the war rap HA
We’re not gonna go!
It’s the war rap
Leave the Iraqis alone
[ REPEAT SEVERAL TIMES ]
