Cynical Lyrics - Singles - Enter The Haggis

Depleted uranium is used on the ends of bullets 

And on the ends of shells because it is so hard 

Almost any armament is vulnerable 

To something that is tipped with depleted uranium 

In the cities and towns of Afghanistan 

In the heart of the Balkans, the heart of Iraq 

Not your Grandfathers style of deadly munitions 

Its silent and deadly years after the mission 

Depleted uranium is a war crime 

Depleted uranium is a war crime 

Gonna cut through their armor, then cut through your lungs 

If you make it home alive, youll still die young 

A greedy gang of liars, yeah, weve seen it all before 

A moneymaking scheme led by war-profiteering whores 

Depleted uranium is a war crime 

Depleted uranium is a war crime 

They were throwing it away 

Until they figured out they could use it for armament 

Half-life, 4.5 billion 

Half-life, youll waste away 

Half-life, 4.5 billion 

Half-life, youll waste a 

Weve heard their lies before and we know theyre lying again 

Feels like a deja vu of Agent Orange and Vietnam 

Weaponry so sadistic, it is hard to comprehend 

War profits surge with every breath by Uncle Sam 

Depleted uranium is a war crime 

Depleted uranium is a war crime 

Depleted uranium is a war crime 

We went to a hospital in Southern Iraq 

And a woman was there with a very deformed child 

And her husband had been in the Iraqi Army 

And had been in the battles in Southern Iraq 

And came home and they produced a baby 

That was, very severe malformations 

Both the Leukemia rates in children 

And malformations at birth had increased by six hundred percent 

And it was clearly an epidemic where all this DU had been dumped 

It becomes a dust that can be inhaled 

And infect the blood stream and the rest of the body 

And it was the opinion of the doctors there 

That this was caused by depleted uranium 

They simply saw this as being a direct result 

Of the war by the United States 

Half-life, 4.5 billion 

Half-life, we waste away 

Half-life, 4.5 billion 

Half-life, we waste away 

Half-life, 4.5 billion 

Half-life, we waste away 

Half-life, 4.5 billion 

Half-life, we waste away 

The doctor said, Women at the time of birth 

Dont ask if its a boy or a girl, they ask, 'Is it normal?' 

The military denies first and then after the evidence builds to the point 

Where they can no longer deny, then they do the research 

Thats what happened in the Vietnam era around Agent Orange 

And I suspect and Im worried that thats what will happen this time
