The Lyrics
Yesterday was American Patriot Day. The day when terrorists struck the Twin Towers, the Pentagon, and tried to reach Washington D.C. but failed. My tribute.
Down in the nation, September morning,
Seen on CNN, two hits in a row
Then later news of a hit on the Pentagon rows,
Smoke! Smoke! Leaps! Leaps! Such sorrow!
Smoke! Smoke! Heaps! Heaps! Two big holes!
Chokes! Chokes! Beeps! Beeps! Ground Zero!
Down in the nation, firefighters mourning,
Tears and pain and still Flight 93 to go
Some field in Pennsylvania... a smoking hole
Chunks! Chunks! Soot! Soot! More sorrow!
Up! Up! Shoot? Shoot? All no-shows!
Huff! Huff! Yo! Yo! Crushed some souls!
Down in the nation, came without warning
Osama Bin Laden, a sordid fellow
GWB then promised retaliation
War! Afghan attack! War! Afghan attack! Here we go!
War! Iraq attack! War! Iraq attack! Here we go!
Osama whacked! SEAL Team attack! A revenge blow!
Fifteen years later stands One World Trade Center
Seen on CNN, two hits in a row
Then later news of a hit on the Pentagon rows,
Smoke! Smoke! Leaps! Leaps! Such sorrow!
Smoke! Smoke! Heaps! Heaps! Two big holes!
Chokes! Chokes! Beeps! Beeps! Ground Zero!
Down in the nation, firefighters mourning,
Tears and pain and still Flight 93 to go
Some field in Pennsylvania... a smoking hole
Chunks! Chunks! Soot! Soot! More sorrow!
Up! Up! Shoot? Shoot? All no-shows!
Huff! Huff! Yo! Yo! Crushed some souls!
Down in the nation, came without warning
Osama Bin Laden, a sordid fellow
GWB then promised retaliation
War! Afghan attack! War! Afghan attack! Here we go!
War! Iraq attack! War! Iraq attack! Here we go!
Osama whacked! SEAL Team attack! A revenge blow!
Fifteen years later stands One World Trade Center
