“The next attack is coming.” This is a headline I saw in some tabloid in Europe. I am pretty sure the article did not get into the reasons that I list as to why the next attack is coming, but it was a good headline.

Lyrics
The next attack is coming I heard it on the TV Some important politician said We´ve got to drive them into the sea Round up all the Arabs Send them back from where they came Who cares if they are citizens They´re fanatics all the same The next attack is coming Said dictators west and east And New York can not rest Until all the rebels are deceased So send along those helicopters And we will shoot them all And we´ll cut social services And build a shopping mall The next attack is coming Said the CEO So we need to drill for oil And build more pipelines, don´t you know If these Arabs do not like it And we need the military here The American people will support us Whether out of greed or fear The next attack is coming I heard an Afghan child say My family was killed By a plane the other day And when I grow up I will get them back So I say beware, America Here comes the next attack The next attack is coming Said Cheney to his men And if it doesn´t We can make one happen again Every war we´ve ever been in Was started with a lie And this war is good business So today´s the day for you to die ---- Created September, 2002 Copyright David Rovics 2002, all rights reserved
