Knocking

Knocking

they are knocking on your door george bush
the displaced workers
the forgotten soldiers

they are knocking on your door john ashcroft
the forever detained
the wiretapped

they are knocking on your door donald rumsfeld
the guilty unless decided otherwise
the hoodwinked countries

they are knocking on your door karl rove
the sleeping masses
the butt-fucked media

they are knocking on your door colin powell
the u.n. security council
the u.s. congress

the unwanted children
are pushing them
biting at their ankles
their own children
hold guns to their heads
seeing the future
sold
sold
sold
in the name of
asocial
never-touched-a-shovel
white ass
arrogance

they are knocking now
soon they will breaking down your door
