We Fought No War This Time

We fought no war this time to find a time

Without the likes of you who even though Cuba

Is no longer the place you hide your face

And live the life that led to Castro

While we crawled neath our desks and

Received the request to be good Dullian 

Citizens who hate what they create

And anyone they suspect to blame

For the fear of the cloud we brought aloud

In sirens that went off every Wednesday at noon

And warned that soon we would be taken over

By godless Catholics, Baptists, or blacks

In a storm of equality falsely defined in identity

Not in being equal in the eyes of God and law 

With lies and rewrites, you cover yours and others

Eyes with the grey shroud of false wisdom. 

But you don’t care, as you stand right there,

In casinos, liquor, prostitution, and dirty money

As we fight no war this time to find a time

Without the likes of you.  

Without the likes of you. 

Without the likes of you.
