Anti‐Flag - Depleted Uranium Is a War Crime Lyrics

"Depleted Uranium is used on
The ends of bullets
And on the ends of shells because
It is so hard that almost any armament is
Vulnerable to something
That is tipped with Depleted Uranium"

Woahhh!

In the cities and towns of Afghanistan
In the heart of the Balkans
- the heart of Iraq
Not your Grandfather's style
Of deadly munitions
It's silent and deadly long 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
You'll still die young
A greedy gang of liars
Yeah we've 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 - 45 Billion
Half Life - You'll waste away
Half Life - 45 Billion
Half Life - You'll waste a

We've heard their lies before and
We know they're lying again
Feels like a déjà vu of
Agent Orange and Vietnam
Weaponry so sadistic it is hard to comprehend
War profit's 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 with very severe
Malformations both the Leukemia rates
In children and
Malformations at birth had increased by 600%
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 United States"
Half Life - 45 Billion
Half Life - We waste away
Half Life - 45 Billion
Half Life - We waste away
Half Life - 45 Billion
Half Life - We waste away
Half Life - 45 Billion
Half Life - We waste away

"The doctor said 'Women in Iraq at the time
Of birth don't ask if it's 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 that's
What happened in the
Vietnam era around Agent Orange
And I suspect and
I'm worried that that's what
Will happen this time"
