Peter Jagger; Warmonger Blair

Warmonger Blair

Warmonger Blair, warmonger Blair,
Warmonger Blair, at last you looked scared
But did you tell the truth as you sat in that chair?
And did you care, warmonger Blair?


You sent cousins and nieces to fight in Iraq
Uncles and brothers who never came back
Good lives that were spent whilst you tried hard to hide
And I bet you and Bush thought you had God on your side?

Warmonger Blair, warmonger Blair,
Warmonger Blair, at last you looked scared
But did you tell the truth when you sat in that chair?
And did you care, warmonger Blair?


You sent bombs and destruction to flatten that land
So your friends could have the oil waiting under the sand
You told stories of threats to get votes on your side
But at the end of your life, your God will know that you lied

Warmonger Blair, warmonger Blair,
Warmonger Blair, at last you looked scared
But you didnt say youre sorry and you didnt seem to care
For all those mistakes, warmonger Blair


You sent out the message around the world clear
That for business and commerce youd make innocents fear
It seems you think trade, trade, trade will do everyone good
Why dont you say it to those who gave you their blood

Warmonger Blair, warmonger Blair,
Warmonger Blair, at last you looked scared
But did you tell the truth when you sat in that chair?
And where was your remorse, warmonger Blair?


You once sent Mrs Beckett to answer the calls
Of weak politicians finally finding their balls
But now youve answered these questions on the war that you made
I find I still dont believe a single word that you said


Warmonger Blair, war-monger Blair,
Warmonger Blair, at last you looked scared
But did you tell the truth when you sat in that chair?
And did you care, warmonger Blair?

Warmonger Blair, warmonger Blair,
Warmonger Blair, at last you looked scared
But you didnt say youre sorry and you didnt seem to care
For all those mistakes, warmonger Blair
