TERRORISM TREE

Oompah Loompah

Living off someone else’s dream

Stealing off someone else’s tree

I’m watching you as I start to wake up

Watching you as you’re causing the strife

Watching you as you cut the cake up

Watching you sharpen your knife

I’m gonna set you all free

Cut down your terrorism tree

Oompah Loompah

I killed ten thousand moslems

I'll kill ten thousand more

Then I’ll ignore Kyoto

Then I’ll ignore UN law

51 rogue states working for me

Am I the top of the terrorism tree

51 rogue states working for me

Am I the top of the terrorism tree

Oompah Loompah stick it up your jumper

Bush top terrorism junta

Oompah Loompah stick it up your jumper

Trump top terrorism junta

Terrorism junta

There's an Axis of our evil way

From Kiev to downtown LA

Oompah Loompah diddy eye ay.

Hearts and minds have gone astray

Bullet in the hand's worth two in the bush

Maybe it’s time for the final push

Fe Fi Foe Fum

I smell oil in the barrel of a gun

Fe Fi Foe Fum

I smell oil in the barrel of your gun

Of your gun

Oil, boil, barrel of gun

Oil, boil, barrel of gun

Oil, boil, barrel of gun

Oil, boil, barrel of gun

Living off someone else’s dream

Stealing off someone else’s tree

I’m watching you as you try to make up

Watching you as you're casting your lies

I’m watching you as you do the fake up

Watching you as another sun dies

Oil like a boil with a fearless face

Another lie to lubricate our lazy race

Oil like a boil with a fearless face

Another lie to lubricate our lazy race

Fifty One

Oil, boil, fearless face

Another lie lubricates our lazy race

Fe Fi Foe Fum

Oil in the barrel, of a gun

Who terrorises who? Are governments and presidents never guilty of terrorist activity? Do the voters aid and abet them? The sinking of the Rainbow Warrior was an act of terrorism by the French. Does Trump terrorise the folk of standing rock? Are we all therefore members of a global terrorist network? Every time we buy a gallon of diesel for the truck. Every time we finance the oil war. How many States of America?  Fifty plus one. Fifty plus whoever happens to be greasing one’s palms at the time. 51 rogue states.

NOTES

Some audiences will request a favourite song from the back catalogue. This works ok for some songs but sometimes it’s a bit naff where things have developed significantly.

Terrorism Tree was first penned when Bush#2 was US president. It started as a silly play on words as Bush vs Tree. All sorts of lyrics went through the wringer to do with Bush wanting to be a tree when he grew up and so on. The following catchphrase persisted for a while:

“Terrorism Bush, Terrorism Tree

Both of those are the same you see”

This exists in the Anarchetypean - Unleashed version.

We always had a few “oompah-up yr-joompah” bits for good measure.

Bush defined the Axis of Evil. I reckoned that a better definition/alignment might be from Ukraine across Europe and the big pond to the USA whence it carves itself across the states to LA.

The Kyoto Protocol was current and things were getting a bit slack. We now have the “Paris Agreement”. The Kyoto Lyric has been retained as a generic term for ignored environmental protection agreements/legislation/protocol as is likely to be ongoing.

So Trump is showing similar ignorance and the protection afforded to “federally protected lands” is under threat.

So the lyrics remain intact and are changed only for the inclusion of Trump whilst reducing Bush to a single mention.

TRIVIA

The phrase “Terrorism Tree” has now found its way into other authors’ works.
