stop me if you've heard this one

stop me if you've heard this one

a dirty smile, and a dirty bond
a dirty place with a dirty god
so who are you performing for?
your child, your slave, your wife, or your whore?
we're not so blind, not anymore
can't see it all, but know for sure
and it's not so funny anymore

a dirty thought, a dirty bomb
a dirty temple for a dirty god
so against who are you waging war?
the child, a slave, his wife or your whore?
we're not so kind, not anymore
can't be it all, but know for sure
and i'm not laughing anymore

so stop me if you've heard this one
stop me if you've heard it
you know it's just not very fun
fuck you and your verdict

a dirty hunt, a dirty cop
and the dirty worship their dirty god
so who the hell are you fighting for?
a child, his slave, the wife or your whore?
we're not behind, not anymore
we can steal it all and know for sure
but they're not laughing anymore

a dirty needle, a dirty squad
the dirty fucking their dirty god
what purpose are you arming for?
to kill, enslave, to marry or whore?
we're not in line, for evermore
and i'll not be laughing anymore

please stop me if you've heard this one
stop me if you've heard it
force me with your loaded gun
you and your fucking verdict

run and gun
run and gun

you can't snort a line or have a toke
you don't know whats been cut in your coke
and you're afraid of those you don't know
you can't trust me, you've got nowhere to go
you're just another victim of the status quo
and they don't care and they let it show
they'll hunt you down, won't let you go
with their closed minds they throw you in the hole
so fucking proud of their democracy
but this country will never be free
as long as those like you and me
are held in chains without the key

run and gun
run and gun

so stop me if you've heard this one
stop me if you've heard it
you're not the fucking chosen son
i will not recognize your verdict
no
i will not accept your verdict

it's probably just to deep for a lot of us... my interpretation is that you're speeking to bush through the whole poem/song until the longest verse near the end, at which point you're speeking to suddam and sympathising with him.

I'm most likely wrong, making it really hard to complement, but judging by the way i see it its awesome. It looks like you put a lot of time into it and there's a lot of deep material in there.

Hopefully that made some sence... i didnt really know how to go about replying (i'm probly not alone seeing how it has over 20 views) but felt it deserved something. I think you could help us out by giving us an interpretaion of what you meant it to be.
