"The babies just come with the scenery"
From “Middle of the Road,” The Pretenders:
In the middle of the road/You see the darnest things.
Like fat cats driving around in jeeps through the city,
Wearing big diamond rings and silk suits.
Past corrugated tin shacks holed up with kids and
Man, I don’t mean a Hampstead nursery.
But when you own a big chunk of the bloody Third World,
The babies just come with the scenery.
(Afghanistan)
(Iraq)
(Lebanon)
(Not to mention: Vietnam, Panama, Somalia, El Salvador...to name but a few.)
Dubya sez: “Any time innocent life is lost, we’re sad. Our country values life, all life.”
(As Ward Churchill sez: “Stop killing our kids, if you want your own to be safe.")
