Story behind the song
Lyrics
(Chorus) Blinded by the Right Wrapped up in the flag And sending bombers in the night (repeat) (Verse 1:) You think W won’t trouble you I hate to burst your bubble, you won’t be safe in your own home. ‘Cuz Ashcroft thinks we’ve gone soft He holds his righteous blade aloft and cuts our rights down to the bone. Big shot, chicken hawks Don’t you know that they’re all talk when it comes to who’s gonna die? And this AWOL action-doll has the nerve to flash us all his “what , me worry?” Alfred E. smile. (Chorus) (Verse 2:) The 11th of September is a day we’ll all remember but what are the lessons we’ve learned? Used as an excuse to dole out some more abuse and see other innocents burned. The world was growing fonder but Bush managed to squander all the good will which came from that day. And now our true flag is unfurled We’re back to play cops of the world We’ll kill whoever gets in our way. (Chorus) (Post-Chorus:) Blinded by the Right Do we really believe that might makes right And that peace will come, the more we fight? (Verse 3:) Halliburton draws the curtain Covers up what is for certain (a) conflict of interest crime. And Bush wants billions more He says it’s for his little war He gives his buddies our last dime. Lies, lies, big surprise Did you really trust those guys? They’re the lowest of the low. George, Dick, Paul & Don They should follow old Saddam It’s time for them all to go! (Chorus) (Bridge:) Blinded by the Right - Mama always told me not to sacrifice our sons to make the SUV’s run But mama, that’s where the money is - (Verse 4:) Face the facts, we’ve been lax while W gave back our tax to the ones who need it least. It makes you wanna holler when your piece of pie grows smaller while the rich are sitting down to their feast. And now that it’s election time the Democrats begin to whine about all that Bush has done wrong. But they voted for war in Iraq and caved in on the Patriot Act they danced to every right-wing song. (Chorus) (Verse 5:) So, now it’s time to wake up Don’t let the Bush team break up all that we’ve worked for, for all these years. Don’t just sit around hoping and don’t just lie there moping It’ll take more than your prayers and tears. They’ll try to take you for a spin They’ll tell you that we cannot win but don’t you believe those lies. Let’s get out of Iraq, and send George W packin’ It’s time for us to organize! (Final Chorus:) No more blinded by the Right We’ll uncover all their lies and expose them to the light (repeat) (Post-Chorus/Tag:) No more blinded by the Right - We’ve been down, but we can make it through the night if we don’t give up - don’t give up the fight! No more blinded (Blinded by the Right) (repeat and fade)
