david rovics - song for chelsea manning lyrics
private manning was an _n_lyst if what they say is true
she was paid to read reports and find the patterns sifting through
as she read the data the patterns did emerge
patterns that were clear both before and since the surge
patterns of abuse of the most horrific kind
gunning down civilians out of view and out of mind
gunning down the opposition in the middle of the night
sending off the scholars to be tortured out of sight
sometimes you need desperate mеasures when you live in dеsperate times
and private manning saw she was looking at war crimes
she wondered what to do to allow the dead to speak
she finally decided to contact wikileaks
now it’s all out on the table and everybody knows
the emperor is naked, he’s not wearing any clothes
now adrian lamo has to live within his skin
he stabbed chelsea in the back, called the cops and turned her in
but not before the soldier took half a million files
if you printed all the pages they’d stretch on for miles
evidence against the state right from the horse’s mouth
machinations in the west, bombings in the south
a treasure trove of details for all the globe to see
how much they need to lie and k!ll for democracy
how many drone strikes have hit villages leaving everyone to die
they blamed on someone else – the official line, “not i”
how many coups have been plotted by ambassadors who say
that free and fair elections be the order of the day
now it’s all out on the table and everybody knows
the emperor is naked, he’s not wearing any clothes
now the genie’s out of the bottle and they’re trying to stuff it back
and stop it from illuminating everything we lack
such as the rule of law or playing by the book
look you can read it, it’s right here, the ship of state is run by crooks
and they vilify the messengers, call them every name
for daring to blow the whistle on the nature of their game
the game of taking lives and endangering the rest
in order for the wealthy few to do what they do best
dominate the world for the corporate elite
but now their cover’s blown from their head down to their feet
and now the stars and stripes is looking much more like a rag
the lid is off the box, the cat’s out of the bag
now it’s all out on the table and everybody knows
the emperor is naked, he’s not wearing any clothes
