"Say No To Nightmares"
The devils who had done it We had to see them dead And enemies in distant caves Are where the headlines led
We bought our patriotic tea Watched our neighbors' moves Wore stars and stripes like rosaries But took anything as God
I was in the hospital Turned on the TV Saw those fires burning Not sure what to think
When the morning ended My stomach hit the floor Anger, pain, and vengeance Turned my gentle bones to thorns
A little girl approached me Confusion filled the room I asked her not expecting much: Whatever shall I do? She said
[Chorus] Nightmares will never gain Power over you and me On your doorstep, theres a new threat Say "no" to nightmares, "no" to fear [Repeat]
Our rightous grief and outrage Brought politicians' threats Unless I watched the way I vote They told me I'd be next
People near Ground Zero Some put down their sword But people in the heartland Were more scared than in New York
Diners off of country roads Served the fearful news It had nowhere to dissipate Except the ballot booth
[Chorus]
If the boss just laid you off She blamed it on that day Everything that wasn't right We all knew what to say
Everything was suspect And no one dared to ask: Were policies to win our minds? Or were there really threats?
Most were decent people Jonesing for a dose Of that sweet taste known as freedom But the fruited plain had closed
Soon kids won't remember My niece is only five But if she asks I'll hold her I'll sing a lullaby

I picture a lot of thing from your song, you seem to be saying a lot...though some miss it.
