This is the second song I’ve written so far for “Heads On Sticks”. (Note: And I just finished “Onslaught” last week, so that will be released first).
“Jesus Was A Gook”
by Michael Nhat
Some people’s
Hero’s John Wayne mine’s Ron Ridenhour
the man who found the power in himself to report the cowards
showered the Congress with letters about a Massacre
in My Lai, if you haven’t heard of the
1968 mass murder by whom?
the United States of America Calley and his troops
who came to murder 3 hundred and forty seven
unarmed civilians mostly women and children
living in poverty – such an atrocity
but nobody gives a fuck because they’re Vietnamese
and these culprits won’t admit their racist
they were taught to kill gooks back in basic training
this was fifty years ago, some of them are still alive
I got a right to be hostile Violent and blind
by the hate your kind enclose and you
Can’t fucking bury me like Dick Ho
(Hook)
Jesus was a gook and an activist
going up against the more popular dominant
they want us dead that’s all that’s it
if we Get in Caesars way – Get in Caesar’s Way!
(v2)
I’ll never support your troops
it doesn’t have a meaning if it does, what? Kill gooks?
no thank you – I’m sleeping with the enemy
If I was alive then I’d support VC
Victor Charlie motherfucker I said it
you want us to forget it cause you hate to admit it’s
the most shocking event in Vietnam
Where your G.I. Joe’s came along
pushed us in a ditch while moms
cried “No VC” while shielding in their arms
their kids of course, but your task force was
attempting genocide by lies enforced
bringing your worst with a thirst for routine
ongoing brutality all we see
is a cover-up – to the world of
American Soldiers raping a Vietnamese Girl
(Hook)
Jesus was a gook and an activist>
going up against the more popular dominant
they want us dead that’s all that’s it
if we Get in Caesars way – Get in Caesar’s Way!
America don’t care about justice
