Clarence Rosario: December 5, 2006 -- "Mass Destruction"

"Mass Destruction" by Faithless
iTunes
Video
Lyrics

With the release of the the
Iraq Study Group's report about how badly the current administration is fucking up in Iraq, I thought it was appropriate to dig up this cool Faithless tune. Especially the lyrics of the chorus, which sum up the last 6 years kinda nicely:

Whether long range weapon or suicide bomber
Wicked mind is a weapon of mass destruction
Whether you're soaraway Sun or BBC 1
Misinformation is a weapon of mass destruction
You could be a Caucasian or a poor Asian
Racism is a weapon of mass destruction
Whether inflation or globalization
Fear is a weapon of mass destruction
Whether Halliburton, Enron or anyone
Greed is a weapon of mass destruction
We need to find courage, overcome

Inaction is a weapon of mass destruction
Inaction is a weapon of mass destruction
Inaction is a weapon of mass destruction

I've also got a killer Party Ben mashup of this track in which George W. Bush is heard justifying the pretext for war in Iraq, claiming "Saddam Hussein has gone to elaborate lengths to build and keep weapons of mass destruction". Chillingly, there's also an excerpt where Bush extolls "the war goes on, and we are winning."

Cheery stuff for a long run in Central Park, eh?

Nice find!! Ugh, is it January yet?
