Who you run with? And what you running from? (History) We're going into wars And dying in the desert for empire Lord, tell me this is worthless Like Bob Dylan couldn't stop killing In Vietnam But in Afghanistan Iran helped us overthrow the Taliban So why we pointing missiles at the Ayatollah? Bikini Atoll used to be an island They blew up with nukes Next day in France They unveiled the bikini swimsuit Half-naked empire The Emperor is half-black So in Hip-Hop I can only half-criticize Big surprise: Pentagon announced We might not leave after all The Theater of War I rap the desert of the real (?) covered the first Gulf War From his hotel room The war was waged on Saddam But Vietnam Syndrome CNN won and now here we are On the fast-track to world domination Neo-Liberalism Ain't nothing humanitarian about "interventions" You only go where there's natural resources In the Ivory Coast French troops are killing for chocolate Villages burn And UN fires over civilians Meanwhile, we're picking sides in civil war But more died in Syria than Libya (That's the devil we know) (Missing a phrase here. Help!) Ain't nothing but straw huts and sand Its a sham Democratic war machine re-marketed I'm ain't with it (Think about it If Bush did it We'd be protesting We can't let the UN fast-track it And be king-makers We gotta stay out the Middle East) [Hook 2: Sole] Noam Chomsky I think I'm Noam Chomsky Dropped out of college Started reading Noam Chomsky Twitter feed look like I'm ready for war Vonnegut is dead [Verse 2: Sole] Do me a favor Don't comment on my Facebook If you disagree Showing pictures of your abdomen And Kardashian strippers I'll take you on a Gaza Strip tour Where you can get killed for Being the wrong religion In the wrong region So lets get real For every Israeli citizen that dies Air strikes kill four people Living in Palestine Women and children dying In the largest prison known to man You can't call me anti-Semitic I paid for those guns And my Jewish friends who read the news Must be anti-Semitic too Besides Arabs are considered Semitic people as well So the Israeli defense forces And Apache helicopters Must be the biggest anti-Semites in the world We manufacture the consent The energy companies Manufacture the bombs Indirectly Time-Warner sold Chemical weapons to Saddam But that's old news Like Gulf of Tonkin started Vietnam And the Project for a New American Century Needed 9-1-1 I'm wanted all over the world Like US bases They call me everywhere But never in America I'm Noam Chomsky Apologists for war crimes say my views are communist You show your ignorance I'm an anarchist like Noam Chomsky Vietnam vet And they killed me in the jungle Post-traumatic stress ain't covered So whether you come home In a box or a straight jacket America don't love you Economy's in the pits Act like you have a choice Rap like you got a voice Fight back Ain't no one gonna save us Because when Chomsky dies We're more alone in the wilderness Surrounded by wolves Limping towards our own irrelevance I wrote this song in 20 minutes It's easy Bitch, I'm Noam Chomsky [Hook 3: Sole] Noam Chomsky I think I'm Noam Chomsky Dropped out of college Started reading Noam Chomsky My style is Amy Goodman Ya'll cats are Glenn Beck to me Howard Zinn is dead I must be Noam Chomsky
