about

A commentary on the use of drones that has become a pervasive part of our country's war on terror. For too long we have ignored the deaths of innocent civilians because we refuse to acknowledge their humanity. It's time to wake up!

lyrics

Mr. Drone Man- I guess you’re just not who I thought you were-
I know you’re in charge of America, gotta be strong for her
Plus we already got hundreds of thousands of troops at war for her
And we stay playin the role of the world’s mr. officer
And half the country’s in the business of already faulting ya-
Subliminal racist rednecks steady assaulting ya-
Claiming you a socialist, communist muslim terrorist/ class warfare rabble rousing Kenyan born foreigner-
The whole time I been in ya corner, always supporting ya-
So now if you could just listen up, it’s kinda important sir-
It’s a topic that it kinda seems like you been avoiding sir-
How you got these kill lists you drew up and been employing sir-
And you got these unmanned drones you been deploying sir-
Almost like a new toy in your toybox you’re enjoying sir-
Exactly who and what and why and where are you destroying sir?
I mean, isn’t that an act of war on foreign soil sir?

MR DRONE MAN- HOW YA SLEEPING THESE DAYS?
DOES THE SOUND OF YOUR OWN DRONES GROAN AND KEEP YOU AWAKE?
MR DRONE MAN- WHERE THE GAME’S BEING PLAYED,
THE SOUND OVERHEAD MUST KEEP THEM PEOPLE AWAKE
MR DRONE MAN- ARE YOU PLANTING THE SEEDS OF HATE?
ARE YOU TEMPTING THE HANDS OF FATE, IS IT ALREADY TOO LATE?
MR DRONE MAN- WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO US NOW?
DIDN’T THEY TEACH YOU THAT WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND???

Understand I got that call when the towers came down-
Seen the look in my mom’s eyes when my pops wasn’t found-
When I hear a low flying plane, I still flinch at the sound-
The anger still burns red from the flames that rained in my town-
I understand the pain in a loss so profound-
That kind of thing don’t know race, creed or national bounds-
And the hate that it breeds, bleeds and finds a way out-
And so those drones overhead must make a similar sound-
Little kids in Pakistan afraid to come out their house-
Not knowing when or where or why the next target is found-
But I betcha they’ll remember who was firing now-
So don’t be surprised when you’re hearing jihad out his mouth-
When 10 innocents are killed for every terrorist taken out-
Makes me wanna ask the question who’s the terrorist now?
Are you the same guy who promised to close Guantanomo down?
Now you’re in the business of leaving martyrs around??

MR DRONE MAN- HOW YA SLEEPING THESE DAYS?
DOES THE SOUND OF YOUR OWN DRONES GROAN AND KEEP YOU AWAKE?
MR DRONE MAN- WHERE THE GAME’S BEING PLAYED,
THE SOUND OVERHEAD MUST KEEP THEM PEOPLE AWAKE
MR DRONE MAN- ARE YOU PLANTING THE SEEDS OF HATE?
ARE YOU TEMPTING THE HANDS OF FATE, IS IT ALREADY TOO LATE?
MR DRONE MAN- WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO US NOW?
DIDN’T THEY TEACH YOU THAT WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND???

And the reality is- nobody’s giving a shit
When it’s a country they can’t pronounce and their buildings ain’t getting hit
But kill lists don’t get shorter in a new world order
And drones are getting flown on our national borders
So who’s getting killed? And who’s being watched?
And how long before they start flying over ya block?
Peeping in ya window to see if you a target or not-
And you’re wondering what we let Obama take out the box.
