They say from acorns great oak trees do grow <br />
And from evil man the genocide does flow <br />
From the expenditure the shock waves spread <br />
And the innocents in masses are easily led <br />
It don't really matter if it's communist red <br />
Or whether it's fascism that causes the fatal blow to the head <br />
America still don't realise it's mistake in 'Nam <br />
But they were not on the wrong end of the napalm <br />
They still carry on their search for power and glory <br />
Just another chapter in man's story <br />
Across the world, they rear their ugly heads <br />
Across the world in bloodshed red <br />
The story begins to wear thin <br />
They say it's in the name of law <br />
Will Vietnam be the forerunner to El Salvador? <br />
Another nine years of killings, injuries and rapes <br />
This year's winner is the Watergate tapes <br />
And this year's Kissingers a man called Haig <br />
And the descendants have all caught the red, white and blue plague
