NO EXCUSE
Lyrics: Robert Burwell
Music: Silvina Munson



I PICKED UP THE PAPER AS USUAL TODAY,
BUT THE FEELING I GET IS FRUSTRATING DISMAY
INNOCENT CHILDREN WERE LED FAR ASTRAY
TO MAKE THEMSELVES VICTIMS OF A TRAGEDY PLAY

THEY?AVE CLOUDED THEIR MINDS WITH A PROPHET?S FALSE TALE
OF SIX VIRGINS WAITING FOR ONE MACHO MALE
THEY POISONED THEIR HEARTS WITH LIES AND DECEIT
WHILE HIDING IN SHADOWS IN FEAR AND RETREAT

*******

THEY CAN?T SEE AS FAR AS THE NOSE ON THEIR FACE
ARE THEY EVEN A PART OF OUR HUMAN RACE?
THEY STEADFAST REFUSE TO LET THEIR MINDS GROW
AND THEIR ONLY EXCUSE IS ?I DIDN?T KNOW?

WHEN MOTHERS DESTROY THAT WHICH THEY CREATE
WHO IS TO BLAME, WHO SHOULD WE BERATE
WHILE THEIR HUSBANDS STAND BY, OR ARE NOWHERE IN SIGHT
WHEN IT TAKES TWO PARENTS TO DO THE JOB RIGHT

******

THEY CAN?T SEE AS FAR AS THE NOSE ON THEIR FACE??


WAS THAT NEWSMAN JUST EVIL OR SIMPLY NAIVE
WHAT WAS THE AGENDA THEY HAD UP THEIR SLEEVE?
WHEN HANDED THE TASK, SHOULD HE?VE QUESTION THE AIM?
OR COLDLY DESTROY Ms. VALERY PLAME?
