About drone strikes in third world countries from countries in the first.

lyrics

FIRST THEY TOOK MY BOY, ON A CLEAR SUMMER’S DAY
HE STRAYED FROM THE WOODS, TO THE CLEARING WHERE WE PRAY
TO MY FATHERS GOD; THOU SHALT BE ASHAMED
OF THE BLOOD YOU SPILLED; OF THE CHILD MAIMED

THEN THEY TOOK MY GIRL, ‘FORE THE GROUND HAD GROWN COLD
SHE ALWAYS HAD A KNACK, FOR STORIES TRUE, UNTOLD
THE EFREET WILL EMERGE FROM OUR LAST BEGOTTEN MOAN
TO CLEAR FROM THE SKIES, THE POWER OF THE DRONE

GIVE ME A DRONE TO MAKE YOU FEAR CLEAR SKIES
GIVE ME A PAWN TO FIGHT AGAINST YOUR LIES
EXTINGUISH THE SPARK, THAT FIRE IN YOUR EYES
GIVE ME A DRONE TO MAKE YOU FEAR CLEAR SKIES

MY WIFE SHE WAS NEXT, IN A NON-COMBATANT ZONE
SHE CARRIED ON HER HEAD ALL THAT WE COULD OWN
THE CLAY WATER POT BROKE AS MY FATHER DIED OF THIRST
NOW I AM ALONE; NO FATE COULD BE WORSE

GO AND ASK ME WHY I MARCH AGAINST YOUR HOLLOW HOME
GO AND ASK ME WHY I’VE BUILT WEAPONS FROM THEIR BONES
I ASK YOU WHAT’S LEFT; THEY’VE TAKEN ALL THAT I KNOW
MY FINAL REQUEST; THOU REAP WHAT THOU SOW
