The Lyrics
1964: A president who hails from Texas uses fabricated "facts" to get us into a failing foreign fiasco. 39 years later: A president who hails from Texas uses fabricated "facts" to get us into a failing foreign fiasco.
The casus belli spewed,
Was just a line.
Whatever they said was not true.
They were lyin',
Just flat-out lyin'.
You know they had planned it--
Put boots on the ground.
Excuse was the Maddox,
Then a resolution they'd propound.
The casus belli spewed,
Was just a line,
A line.
Dien Bien Phu,
French withdrew,
Tonkin crew,
Tellin' you truth, the vow.
It was hot air,
Lacking verity.
As it is now.
It's clear the
New casus belli spewed
Was just a line.
*Casus belli is a modern Latin language expression meaning the justification for acts of war. Casus means "incident" or "rupture"' belli means "of war".
Was just a line.
Whatever they said was not true.
They were lyin',
Just flat-out lyin'.
You know they had planned it--
Put boots on the ground.
Excuse was the Maddox,
Then a resolution they'd propound.
The casus belli spewed,
Was just a line,
A line.
Dien Bien Phu,
French withdrew,
Tonkin crew,
Tellin' you truth, the vow.
It was hot air,
Lacking verity.
As it is now.
It's clear the
New casus belli spewed
Was just a line.

Thanks again, Alvin.
Nice, spooky juxtapositions. Casus belli! I tried looking it up in my Joy of Mixology handbook but couldn't find that drink anywhere!
