Behind Enemy Lines - Advancing The Cause lyrics
rate meBush backs out of the 1972 ABM treaty,<br />
Supposedly in the interests of national defense<br />
Determined to resurrect Reagan's nuclear monster<br />
Ignoring the world tension that this action presents<br />
Jerry Falwell had the nerve to place the blame<br />
At the feet of feminists, abortionists, gays and lesbians<br />
And the ACLU all of who have offended god<br />
For attempting to secularize this “Christian-founded†nation<br />
Pat Buchanan's xenophobic posturing has only gotten louder<br />
In calling for America to close all of our borders<br />
Why is it that those with the lowest morality<br />
Are obsessed with trying to push their ideals on the rest of society?<br />
In the midst of human tragedy the political games begin<br />
Placing the blame on weak national defense and immigration<br />
The political vultures have been busy manufacturing fear<br />
And of course they have all the answers to make our problems disappear<br />
Desensitized to the suffering and the thousands of lives lost<br />
Capitalizing on the carnage to push their agenda through at any cost<br />
Raising money and passing their laws<br />
Exploiting the dead to advance their cause<br />
How can this tragedy advance my cause?<br />
How can this suffering advance my cause?<br />
How can this fear advance my cause?<br />
How can this body pile advance my cause?<br />
Every safety measure these people offer is just another moral con<br />
Taking advantage of uncertainty to manipulate us into pawns<br />
Self-serving interests are sought without a single shred of decency<br />
Holding violence over our heads and promising stability<br />
To those with a political agenda this tragedy was a blessing in disguise<br />
Because now oppression is protection and dare not be scrutinized<br />
Intolerance is now patriotism, the rising tide of nationalism<br />
It's been the unifying catalyst for country and religion<br />
How can this tragedy advance my cause?<br />
How can this suffering advance my cause?<br />
How can this fear advance my cause?<br />
How can this body pile advance my cause?<br />
Desensitized to the suffering and the thousands of lives lost<br />
Capitalizing on the carnage to push their agenda through at any cost<br />
Raising money and passing their laws<br />
Exploiting the dead to advance their cause<br />
So we have another oilman in the Whitehouse, an absolute imbecile<br />
Moral delinquents wear the cloth, Nazis on capital hill<br />
You can see the excitement in their eyes, behind their crocodile tears<br />
Pushing their agendas, the ones they've pushed for years<br />
But now seizing the opportunity by exploiting this catastrophe<br />
While painting themselves as patriots to hide their petty bigotry<br />
They champion their cause by climbing up the body pile<br />
Becoming king of the hill has made this tragedy all worthwhile<br />
How can this tragedy advance my cause?<br />
How can this suffering advance my cause?<br />
How can this fear advance my cause?<br />
How can this body pile advance my cause?
