With cobwebs in my mouth
Tissue paper
Lines the inside of my eyelids
Another day
Is about to begin
I welcome it
Because I expect good things
I dread it
Because I fear the worst
I know the war still grinds on
I know more of them died
While I slept
This is not unusual
It happens every night
Around the world
But the dying in Iraq
Has a special quality
The dying in Iraq
Is because of us

Is because we invaded them
They didn't invade us
We opened Pandora's Box
We knocked Humpty Dumpty
Off the wall
And all of King George's
Horses and men
Can't put Humpty Dumpty
Back together again
