Put his face on the front page for all to see
Our children need this vile imagery
To help them understand, they need to learn
How greed and corruption both make the world turn
Do as we say. If you don't, you will die
We'll take over your country, 'til the wells run dry
After that, we'll move on to another
Slowly turning the screw, turning brother 'gainst brother
Without shame or remorse for the damage we do
We like to pretend that we care about 'YOU'
(The people whose lives and homes we destroy)
Truth is, we're just a spoilt child with a toy
With which we've grown tired - "I don't want this, I'm bored!"
'Til we find a new country to put to the sword
And so the cycle begins once again
In this chain of events there will be no refrain
Until it's too late and we've bled the earth dry
What then? Who cares? Let's watch Family Guy...

I agree with all of the above. I feel the same but it's hard to put into words. You managed it perfectly.
