about

Part 1 of the Tony Blair trilogy.
A song inspired by a website arrestblair.org and allegations of war crime

lyrics

Chorus

Who’s protecting you Tony Blair, Tony Blair, Tony B-lai-r?
Seemingly living without a care, swanning around like a billionaire
A million maimed and thousands have died
Tony B-lai-r we want your hide
The people want you ‘cause you lied

Verse 1

Arrest blair dot org
Explain to the dead lying in the morgue
A man who did deals behind The Whitehouse door,
A man haunted by a legacy of War!

Verse 2

Put a bounty on Tony Blair
Citizens Arrest no matter where
Answer the Court for the crime of warmonger
A crimes against peace he can’t hide any longer.

Middle Eight

What can you say to the 179?
Innocent civilians, has the toll reached a million?
Financial cost, £9 billion lost.
Or a bone tossed, opportunity cost,
a holo-caust?

Verse 3

“Knowing the issues” is a crucial Blair-ism
Fight root causes extremism
Toxic, unstable matrix of factions
Leading to thermo-nuclear reaction.

Verse 4

He whips up fear, and gives you a steer.
Blames a bad system, abuse of religion,
Saddam Hussein in 2003
What he wants you to see? “Don’t blame me!”
