Death squad heaven (sung to the tune of Jingle Bells)

Here we go, here we go,
Bullets all the way -
Now it seems that we have lost
Our high morality,

Oh, here we go, here we go,
Hello CIA -
Good to have you back on form
Blowing yobs away !

Now we’re just like Israel,
Chile and the rest -
Mouthing empty platitudes,
Murdering with the best !

Should we stop at killing ? -
No, we’ll undermine your state -
Our sophistication
Is meeting hate with hate.

Justice is decided
Without the simplest trial -
It’s shoot-to-kill on say-so,
Murder British-style.

Oh, we refuse to learn,
We’re dumb as dumb can be -
A cancer is emerging
In our democracy !

(On hearing that the CIA has once again been given a licence to kill.)

We’re far from perfect in the U.K. – Thatcher sent out a team to assassinate IRA members in Gibraltar.
