"Wake Up, Infidel": Arab League's "Death Star"
Ollie North run the coke, the carrot and the stick
Angola, Noriega, profits getting thick
--Hip-hop group The Arab League's "Death Star," on Bush's Iran-Contra
drug-running
The music video below by The Arab League certainly is old news at YouTube; it was uploaded there May 2006.
But in case you missed it, it's a funny hip-hop spoof using the Star Wars theme to compared the Bush clan to a Death Star, a comparison replete with reference to its Yale Bonesmen legacy.
Follow along with the lyrics:
1st Verse:
It happenedin a galaxy not so far awayWith a dark force mounting, it’s a land in disarray
He who has the will and wants to get their way
Cuts deep to reap, carpe diem (seize the day)
Hack out an empire by hook and by crook
Machiavelli would have gagged at the steps that they took
Improve all instruction, act according to the book
But it came on the sheeple with the ground that they shook
Hands set in motion by the notion of control
Of the souls of those who do exactly what they are told
Stand in line for the ration as the facism unfolds
They twist an iron fist as they tighten their hold
As they come from an acorn of a mighty oak grove
So the tentacles of empire expand and flow
Roots of this dynasty founded long ago
By the thief of the skull and bones of Geronimo!
Chorus:
Wake up, infidel, they’ve taken it too far,
Wake up, infidel, blow up the death star!
Wake up, infidel, you are paying for this war,
Wake up, infidel, destroy the death star!
2nd verse:
They sleep in the tomb, but brother he was downMarried old Yankee money, Prescott don’t f*** around
Invested in the Nazis with a bunch of other clowns
Henry Ford, Tyson, Bush, Harriman and Brown
1952, he flew down to get up in it
Blood money bought a seat in the U.S. Senate
Sure, grandpa had the vision, Herbert Walker sold the dope
Profits from the holocaust, George Bush drenched in coke
George Herbert Walker set off to have some fun
Now number one son going to run some guns
Cuba, 1960, smokescreen: Zapata
They couldn’t take the Bay of Pigs, accountable for nada
Making papa proud, he do all for da-da
His first taste of blood, his own intifada
Congress and ambassador, move up the ladder
Stabbed Nixon in the back, war chest getting fatter!
Repeat
Chorus:
Wake up, infidel, they’ve taken it too far,
Wake up, infidel, blow up the death star!
Wake up, infidel, you are paying for this war,
Wake up, infidel, destroy the death star!
3rd verse:
Director CIA, 1976Ollie North run the coke, the carrot and the stick
Angola, Noriega, profits getting thick
Put Saddam in power, that also do the trick
Hostage release delayed for a week
Snap Carter in two, Reagan takes a seat
After Reagan descends, then the real fun begins
Unleash the war machine, stretch the dollar thin
One thousand points of light, a new world order
Orchestrate the conflict, break down the border
Introducing drugs, creating disorder
Then they feast on the madness as the time gets shorter!
Chorus:
Wake up, infidel, they’ve taken it too far,
Wake up, infidel, blow up the death star!
Wake up, infidel, you are paying for this war,
Wake up, infidel, destroy the death star!
Final verse:
The son and dark knight, high as a kiteLight saber fight with a fist full of white
Tries to escape fate but his destiny’s in sight
Tries to take credit, but he’s just not that bright
Dummy is a mouthpiece for government lies
Burned up desert planet wins votes for these guys
Attracted to power and mass genocide
George Herbert Walker fell to the dark side
Reichstag America, 9-1-1
It’s all too easy, you’re giving up your guns
Battle the beast in the hot desert sun
Abdullah sizzles hot dogs, and George Bush is one!
Repeat
Chorus:
Wake up, infidel, they’ve taken it too far,
Wake up, infidel, blow up the death star!
Wake up, infidel, you are paying for this war,
Wake up, infidel, destroy the death star
