The Rolling Stones, “Sweet Neo Con”

You call yourself a Christian / I think that you’re a hypocrite / You say you are a patriot / I think that you’re a crock of shit

And listen now, the gasoline / I drink it every day / But it’s getting very pricey / And who is going to pay

How come you’re so wrong? / My sweet neo con / Yeah

It’s liberty for all / ’Cause democracy’s our style / Unless you are against us / Then it’s prison without trial

But one thing that is certain / Life is good at Halliburton / If you’re really so astute / You should invest at Brown & Root / Yeah

How come you’re so wrong? / My sweet neo con / If you turn out right / I’ll eat my hat tonight / Yeah…

Life’s getting very scary / Yes, I’m frightened out of my wits / There’s bombers in my bedroom / Yeah, and it’s giving me the shits

We must have lots more bases / To protect us from our foes / Who needs these foolish friendships? / We’re going it alone

How come you’re so wrong? / My sweet neo con / Where’s the money gone / In the Pentagon

Yeah, ha ha ha / Yeah, well, well / Yeah… / Neo con
