Propagandhi - Iteration Lyrics
Donald wept through the proceedings.
His tears soaked through the canvas
That cloaked his twisted face and they stained
As orange jumpsuit where with such rare distinction he once displayed
The evidence of his outstanding contributions
But those days are gone.
He's nothing more than a number
On a docket thick with shareholder, engineers,
PR firms, politicians: war-profiteers.
"How the fuck did I end up here?
This just isn't fair.
Ain't no place for a millionaire."
And he searches for the words
Like "we are but old men"
"We only did what we were told"
But the laughter from the gallery drowns out these vestiges
Of a profession's oldest defense.
"The court will direct
The record to reflect
Compliments from the bench;
You sir, are central casting's crowning achievement.
And for your outstanding performance
In a comedic role,
I'd like to dedicate the findings
Of the jury to the dead."
But how can
One man
Ever repay
A debt so appalling?
Can't gouge 10,000 eyes
From a single head so I
Think we should observe
A sentence that will serve
To satisfy both a sense of function and poetry:
So you will spend the rest
Of your days drenched in sweat,
With your face drawn in a rictus of terror
As you remove another buried land mine fuse.
Meanwhile, 100 yards back
Behind the sandbags, a legless foreman
Pulls the trigger on
A red megaphone.
Squelching feedback. Drunken laughter.
Broken English. His dead daughter's picture.
Time and tide, no one can anticipate
Inevitable waves of {change}
Inevitable waves of
(Inevitable waves of)
Inevitable waves of
(Inevitable waves of)
Inevitable waves of
Inevitable waves of

Propagandhi Iteration Comments
This reminds me natural born killers
The fact that these guys were a 3 piece at the time of this recording breaks my brain every time I hear this song. Chris Hannah might be the best guitarist punks ever seen.
I love you... but TRUMP is winning, bruh.
Could be Donald Trump
it's fun to listen to this song now and imagine the "donald" in the lyrics isn't rumsfeld, but a certain other donny
communism will fail again like it has countless times prior. great song, but you are a douche.
swinginmad
Fuck you.
badass fucking song love it!
that bass at 2:31 and that outro mmm
I know... each time that bass line comes up my anticipation builds
This is about Obama
you're retarded, this song was written a decade before Obama was president
+Rowen Setchell obama is just as accountable for the war crimes of george bush, domald rumsfield and ronald mc donald because hese done the same shit, hell probably worse
the guy at the beginning sounds like Bill Hicks
It's George W Bush.
Pocas veces escuche una cancion de punk tan increiblemente perfecta!!!
Ma quanto cazzo adoro i Propagandhi!
Jesus, the Bush quotes about prosecuting war criminals + audience laughter. That's just...fucking PERFECT.
yesssss
Fuuuuccccckkkk. This song is so good!
Great song, but it would be better without the intro.
No, you can blame him. He actively campaigned for a political party, that among many of it's heinous same-as-it-ever-was agendas took a role in trying to silence the third option in American Politics (in this case being Nader).
I'm so happy to see no dislikes on this :)
Absolutely amazed every time I listen to this song.
Mike just wanted the lesser of two evils,cant blame him, propagandhi wants the whole government reformed, or destroyed lol..
This is one brutal song.
listening to nofx for their politics is like watching sesame street to understand ethnic diversity. this song is powerful stuff. i hope i live to see the day this song is about. ill be front and center
@TheSkunker Fatass Mike went for Kerry (lol) he's a joke.. Graffin doesn't go for either, he has a bigger agenda such as Propagandhi.. amazing song
@bass109 And your evidence for the claims made in the Bible is? Without evidence, I'll believe your Bible as much as any other unsubstantiated religious text out there. Sorry dude, but you might as well be telling us to repent to Odin, Krishna, Allah, the Flying Spaghetti Monster or Cthulhu. So why do you not believe in any of the thousands of other gods people have believed in? Because they're claims lack evidence? Yeah, well look in the mirror!
@LordDicranius Thank you so much for your guidance regarding to the meaning of the song. This encouraged me to research more about the trial and the several inconsistencies of the process of justice for criminals of war. Now when I listen to this song I feel like crying. It is really powerful.
we need to start a movement to get rid of the global elitists and truly have freedom like every human deserves...
@LordDicranius Thank you very much. I have been reading about the many cases of torture done by U.S. defense department during the years of war. It is quite sickening that people who is responsible for such atrocities are not being held accountable for their actions. This song has powerful lyrics that raise an argument about what we conceive as "justice" on a capitalistic societies. Somehow those in power can murder and torture others without any respect for laws, while the rest of us are force
@LordDicranius Thank you vry much my friend. I love this band and their political activism and critiques.
@MatthewHaydockPoet sooooooo underrated.
Can somebody explain the message of this song to me. English is not my first language and sometimes is quite hard to follow propagandhi line of thought. Thanks.
I hate D.R.
This song is a masterpiece. Nothing less it makes me feel gooood.
America has committed and will continue to commit numerous war crimes.
isn't America guilty of war crimes?
rumsfeld
thanks for posting. amazing tune, wicked lyrics.
DAMAGE!
