Cover art for Just War lyrics by Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse

Just War = A war that is justified and right.

The corrupt and idiotic of the US claim that the Iraqi invasion was a Just War and not an invasion over capturing oil rights and control.

"Just War - you said it wouldn't hurt" - everyone was lied to about it. "Is this just war?" a question about what it really was - it was just a war, and there was nothing just about it, a bunch of corrupt lying business men stripping resources for their own gain.

"And furthermore will evolution diminish right in front of us" We're meant to be beyond this - some of us may be - most of us are not: people are stupid.

"By December my head returned into the noose." Saddam Hussein was hanged in December.

"Goodbye, sleep tight" Go back to sleep, sheep.
