    The Killers

    Leonard Cohen (1972)

    The killers that run
    the other countries
    are trying to get us
    to overthrow the killers
    that run our own
    I for one
    prefer the rule
    of our native killers
    I am convinced
    the foreign killer
    will kill more of us
    than the old familiar killer does
    Frankly I don't believe
    anyone out there
    really wants us to solve
    our social problems
    I base this all on how I feel
    about the man next door
    I just hope he doesn't
    get any uglier
    Therefore I am a patriot
    I don't like to see
    a burning flag
    because it excites
    the killers on both sides
    to unfortunate excess
    which goes on gaily
    quite unchecked
    until everyone is dead


    Just thought you all needed a little Leonard Cohen in your lives.

    i like to see buring flags, becuse i dont like patrisom.


    wouldnt it be funky if ppl didnt asosiate themselfs with living in a paticular contry but they think of all ppl as living tin the same world.

    it may have been wrong for american troops to go to irac an do what they want, but still we should allbe lookin our for each other. even though bushes motives where probably screwed.

    ah i dnt like geting political.

    I don't know about politics, I just like poetry. Especially the irony in Cohen :)
