Here's Tom's 2021 demo for Narcoterrorists. Check out the infographics in the video for more details about the farce that is The War on Drugs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYgxjkMljiM

lyrics

some poor kid in Sioux Falls South Dakota
fails a surprise drug test at his shitty WalMart job
he wakes up in a cell and he’s been saddled with a felony
do not pass GO, go straight to hell and while
Richard Nixon’s latest victim spends
15 years in prison
for 11 grams of hash
in an unnamed Mexican village
a suitcase full of unmarked cash
buys medicine and safety
from the death squads of the Right:
maybe the narco-terrorists were right.

Some asshole from Canada
wakes up with a plan:
you will get nada as the CIA
takes away your farm
in the name of an efficiency
that doesn’t scan your broken heart
or mend your broken lands
hungry in the barrio
you watch the capitalistas grow
fat and rich while you burn slow
with socialism on the radio
and you begin to see the light
in the darkness of the night
maybe the narco-terrorists are right

some dry gulch farmer in Venezuela’s no-man’s land
waits for Marxist rebels to bring
doctors, water, this year’s seeds
the bad guys with the guns are all that
makes the infrastructure run
sanctions broke the government and when the
final petro-dollar’s spent
parrots sing machine gun songs
to kids collecting scrap
and when the trucks roll up
there are some questions you don’t dare to ask, like
“where did all these guns get made?”
or “who really destroyed my life?”
you just thank god for a respite
from the never-ending plight
and you think today the narco-terrorists are right
today the narco terrorists are…
right.
