Cynical

Depleted uranium is used on the ends of bullets

And on the ends of shells because it is so hard

Almost any armament is vulnerable

To something that is tipped with depleted uranium

In the cities and towns of Afghanistan

In the heart of the Balkans, the heart of Iraq

Not your Grandfather?s style of deadly munitions

It?s silent and deadly years after the mission

Depleted uranium is a war crime

Depleted uranium is a war crime

Gonna cut through their armor, then cut through your lungs

If you make it home alive, you'll still die young

A greedy gang of liars, yeah, we've seen it all before

A moneymaking scheme led by war-profiteering whores

Depleted uranium is a war crime

Depleted uranium is a war crime

They were throwing it away

Until they figured out they could use it for armament

Half-life, 4.5 billion

Half-life, you'll waste away

Half-life, 4.5 billion

Half-life, you'll waste a

we've heard their lies before and we know they're lying again

Feels like a deja vu of Agent Orange and Vietnam

Weaponry so sadistic, it is hard to comprehend

War profits surge with every breath by Uncle Sam

Depleted uranium is a war crime

Depleted uranium is a war crime

Depleted uranium is a war crime

We went to a hospital in Southern Iraq

And a woman was there with a very deformed child

And her husband had been in the Iraqi Army

And had been in the battles in Southern Iraq

And came home and they produced a baby

That was, very severe malformations

Both the Leukemia rates in children

And malformations at birth had increased by six hundred percent

And it was clearly an epidemic where all this do had been dumped

It becomes a dust that can be inhaled

And infect the blood stream and the rest of the body

And it was the opinion of the doctors there

That this was caused by depleted uranium

They simply saw this as being a direct result

Of the war by the United States

Half-life, 4.5 billion

Half-life, we waste away

Half-life, 4.5 billion

Half-life, we waste away

Half-life, 4.5 billion

Half-life, we waste away

Half-life, 4.5 billion

Half-life, we waste away

The doctor said, ?Women at the time of birth

Don't ask if it?s a boy or a girl, they ask, 'Is it normal?'?

The military denies first and then after the evidence builds to the point

Where they can no longer deny, then they do the research

That's what happened in the Vietnam era around Agent Orange

And I suspect and I'm worried that that's what will happen this time
