`Targeted Murder' anti-war folk song lyrics
An anti-war topical folk song from 2018 that protests against 21st-century U.S. government policy of targeted assassinations, using drones--in violation of international law: (lyrics) (chorus) Targeted Murder The latest war crime Targeted Murder Of civilians who die. (verses) Without any trial Or right to appeal He was picked for assassination So they tracked his cellphone And ordered their drone To murder in the name of their nation. (chorus) Oh, say can you see His dead family Their bodies now ripped apart? By the dawn's early light The drone did ignite The house where his car was parked. (chorus) And a wedding party With many kiddies Was hit by their drone weaponry And how many were slain The White House won't say If no victims are shown on TV. (chorus) International law And the laws of war Are now broken by their war machine Summarily, They kill instantly And ignore all the family screams. (chorus)
