Union Songs
Wikileaks
A Song by Dennis Aubrey©Dennis Aubrey 2012
- [play]
The helicopter gun ship crew thought that they were all just actors
Chorus:
There's video of men and children used for target practice
Wikileaks released it it's not rumour now it's fact
It's evidence of cowboys shooting up the town
And your dirty little secret aint a secret anymore
We know what you're doing in your dirty little war
It's the same thing you've been doing time and time and time before
Your dirty little secret aint a secret anymore It's hard to keep a secret in the age of information
You push one little button and it's on every TV station
And anyone with eyes can see the situation
Now 'cos Julian Assange is around Once upon a time, you know, when I was in my youth
US Army war machine would cover up the truth
But they can't do that anymore because now we've got the proof
Of the way they like to throw their weight around Remember that old saying don't shoot the messenger
Well Julian Assange is a messenger - not a traitor
He held up a mirror to the people of the USA
to show them what is really going down
