Now Playing – MC Celtic – Foreign Lands

Now Playing – MC Celtic – Foreign Lands

I heard a snippet of this on Randy Rhodes yesterday. It stuck in my head until I finally went looking for it.

If you like the song, I recommend downloading a higher quality mp3 (8 mb) from the Garage Bands page.

If the control doesn’t work for you, download the mp3 here.

Lyrics below the fold.

what are we fightin for — foreign lands they dont want us no more

what are we fightin for — foreign lands they dont want us no more

what are we fightin for — foreign lands they dont want us no more

what are we fightin for — foreign lands they dont want us no more

i used to think this country — used to reign under GOD
now the walls closing in — this place is kind of odd
i dont recognize half the people — i once knew
and i dont hang out — with my original crew
the US changed — when we attacked IRAQ
tryna help a foreign land — that want us to go back
it dont make sense — what we doing overseas
tryna help a land — that wanna bring us to our knees
mr george bush — claims terrorist threats
when americans out of work — we drownd in debt
so ask yourself — who really won this war
when there’s a war going on — outside your backdoor
give up ya freedoms — ya right to free speech
hand over the keys — and let a dictator speak

what are we fightin for — foreign lands they dont want us no more

what are we fightin for — foreign lands they dont want us no more

Mr. George Bush and Toni Blair —
control the world bank you know they dont care —
and the poor, oppressed — the war torn victims
in a race for oil — we always tend to forget them
the poor is a steppin stone — to the rich
and this war going on — politics — it makes us switch
its about that time — the time to fight back
mr george bush — bring our troops back
mr george bush — bring our troops back
mr toni blair — its time for you to pack
as a matter of fact — i dont follow a pact
i just write what i see — and report on the facts
you can label me — what you want but ya all wack —
if you worship a party with payoff for contracts
democrats sell crack —
republicans twist facts
in these US lands — its payoffs and paybacks

what are we fightin for — foreign lands they dont want us no more

what are we fightin for — foreign lands they dont want us no more

there’s a war going on outside – no man is safe
and we run from the freedoms — that we helped to create
in the name of fear, politics and police states
the western world, still tries to dictate
over middle east lands — always dippin our hands
in the cookie jar — we never seem to understand
that people wanna handle they own — dam problems
but the western world always has to try to solve em
with the tanks and missles — and the use of force
tryna instill peace — we take the wrong dam course
now we hated by all — just tryna lend a hand
its a virtuious country — with the wrong dam plan

what are we fightin for — foreign lands they dont want us no more

what are we fightin for — foreign lands they dont want us no more
