Depleted Uranium Is A War Crime - Anti-Flag

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.”
Anti-Flag Depleted Uranium Is a War Crime Lyrics
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 years after the mission
Depleted uranium is a war crime
Depleted uranium is a war crime
Depleted uranium is a war crime
Depleted uranium is a war crime
Depleted uranium is a war crime
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
“They were throwing it away
Until they figured
Out they could use it for armament.”
Half Life ? 4.5 Billion
Half Life ? 4.5 Billion
Half Life ? You’ll waste away
Half Life ? You’ll waste away
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 profits surge with
Every breath by Uncle Sam
“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 - 4.5 Billion
Half Life - 4.5 Billion
Half Life - 4.5 Billion
Half Life - 4.5 Billion
Half Life - We waste away
Half Life - We waste away
Half Life - We waste away
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.”
