Gang of Thieves Lyrics

Cover art for Gang of Thieves lyrics by State Radio

The U.S. invades countries saying it is "freeing" them, then kills thousands and thousands of people and starts stealing everything in sight to make big profit opportunities for big companies. That's why the U.S. is the "evil liberator". I don't think this is just about Iraq, because Chad has shown that he's very knowledgable about the fact that our military is doing the same thing in so many other places also. This is imperialism, and the big companies are the Gang of Thieves. And I would make a slight edit to what previous commenters have said: "We've got bombs and they've got barrels of gasoline" means the U.S. has bombs which it will use to take the barrels of gasoline away from the country we're invading (and that part does largely mean Iraq, but also Kuwait, and also Afghanistan, because the point of the invasion of Afghanistan is to attempt to secure a route for a pipeline). Love to State Radio and all you State Radio fans. P.S. Anybody have a thought on what the "And after all it was only you and me" part means?
