Dear Mr. Blair
By Omes, 2/10/03
We gotta take a moment take a minute to think//
All these bombs, all this war is makin' mankind extinct//
All these children who are dyin' in these needless killin's//
Over oil, money, power and control over tingz//
And then BOOM another bomb is dropped//
"Terrorist" dismissed but a whole mission flopped//
And like popo! another family killed//
Taxpayers in the West who are footin' the bill//
And then WHOA comes all the black gold//
At the price of a life for many young and old//
Ordinary people just caught in this game//
While politicians make excuses and spin lies all the same//
Like it ain't enough to be playin' in the life or death game//
They can go with the others in the brutes Hall of Fame//
Milosevic, Hitler, Sharon, coz they all just as lame//
Add to that the killers Bush 'n' Blair//
Feedin' us these lies, exploitin' terrorist scares//
Tryna justify a stupid war over there//
"Fightin' For Peace" by playin' on our fears//
Blair I subject you to an interview like Martin Bashir//
Grill you with questions that you can't bare to hear//
Ask you simple questions that normally fall on deaf ears//
Ask you a coupla questions 'bout what's goin' on here//
Look what's happenin' to the NHS//
You can afford private treatment supplied by the best//
While we're stuck in a rute, dude how can you rest?//
Lifesavin' ops denied by lack of hospital beds//
Awkward questions not meant to cause stress//
We deserve straight answers and not any less//
Blair I'm puttin' this to you as a national test//
While you're "playin' Foreign Secretary to the land of U.S."//
And still our firefighters go on strike//
Disputes over pay and all o' da like//
While you pour our money into this useless war//
"Weapons Of Mass Destruction", yo we been there before//
Student fees jumped up to as much as three grand//
"Equal Opportunities" - don't bullpopo me man//
The less well-off still residin' in this land//
Can't afford to go uni man, don't you understand??//
Six years ago in a speech to the nation//
It was all "Education, Education, Education"//
Man, but what you teachin' our kids?//
F*ck over your own country and go do a blitz??//
And is it any wonder that they turn to drugs?//
Money undreamt of in bein' a thug//
Either that or they left bein' poor//
They suffered enough, man they can't take no more//
So Blair, I leave you with the followin' words//
You cross the road while we left at the kerb//
You lost my vote cos o' this war 'n' that//
Next genereal election, I'm votin' Liberal Democrats//
