The Atkins Tent Revival - Genocide Joe Lyrics
Official




Well howdy there folks, this here's the tale
Of man who helped a land called Israel
Rain hot hell down upon their neighbors
For the crime of casting off their yoke.
And since history has a way of washing sins clean,
Especially for old white men if you know what I mean,
I felt a song was in order regarding the legacy of Genocide Joe.
See since right before 1948
There's been a US-backed apartheid state
In the middle of the Middle East
In a land they once called Canaan.
And the playbook they've been using is tried and true,
Force out the natives and then take their land too,
I mean after all that's how the USA became the land of freedom.
But now they wanna try to call this thing a war
When its really something I don't think we've ever even seen before,
I mean mass, mass murder of innocent civilians and children.
And yet, through it all,
Ol Joe never thought it might be prudent to call his partners
And say, "Hey we gotta rethink strategy here,
Y'all are doin too much killin!"
Genocide Joe, Genocide Joe
There'll be another child dead by the end of this song
There's a list of war crimes like the day is long
But don't let that stop you Genocide Joe
Now I've been asking myself, Just who does peace threaten?
And the war-profiteering manufacturers of weapons
Have got to be high on that list,
So you know they're about as happy as a pig in shit.
Cause now Ol Joe don't even bother with Congress,
Just writes a blank check for more bombs,
Accomplice to the most depraved crimes against humanity in recent history,
You son of a bitch.
Genocide Joe, Genocide Joe
Blood in the streets for the oil in the sea
We ain't never gonna see another lick of peace
With leaders like Ol Genocide Joe
Now Big Oil and Big Gun ain't the only ones
Who wanna see these wars won.
The whole fortune 500 wants access to new markets
And new masses of that sweet cheap labor.
And that's why they spend so much goddamn money
Getting guys like joe to keep pouring on the honey,
And when he finishes building the Gaza Strip Mall they'll thank him kindly for the favor.
Genocide Joe, Genocide Joe
He wouldn't get hired as a Walmart greeter,
How the hell's this old man supposed to be a world leader?
I seen better eyes on an old potato
Elders might be wise but they're also usually like kinda racist,
So who elected Genocide Joe?
Well I think somewhere in the back of his mind
Ol Joe knows he probably doesn't have too much time
Left among us living, and won't have to face
The consequences of his aggression.
So I've decided to take it upon myself
To make sure that we remember Joe was happy to help
Murder thousands of children in the name of good ol' fashioned colonial oppression
Genocide Joe, Genocide Joe
Bombing churches, families, hospitals, and schools
And if the bombing weren't enough you got 'em starving there too
You don't give a damn because they're brown and poor.
I know if Russia tried this shit we'd have another World War
Tell me what's the difference Genocide Joe?
So if y'all mean to tell me that you can't find
A better candidate than a racist, deaf, dumb and blind octogenarian
Then buddy, I've decided I ain't voting.
And if all that means that Don wins again
And starts getting in on the killing I'll write a song about him,
But til then someone please stop this senile f*cking maniac Genocide Joe
Genocide Joe, Genocide Joe
We seen the dead children with our own damn eyes
And we heard the mothers' sorrow in her heart broke cries
You're the one to blame for all these children's pain
And I pray that some way you'll have your day in the Hague
But won't nothing stop Ol Genocide Joe
No there ain't no stopping Genocide Joe
The USA loves Genocide Joe
And Canda
And Germany love Genocide Joe
And Australia
And the UK all love Genocide Joe
And the EU
And the papers all love Genocide Joe
So this one's for you
We won't forget you Genocide Joe
