"Depleted Uranium"

Too many Afghan babies are born dead
Another child born with a deformed head
Trees that no longer bare any fruit
Depleted Uranium
Is at the root

It's not enough pleasure to kill us quickly
they must also enjoy killing us slowly
poisoning our people and our Afghan soil
everything America touches it must spoil

Depleted Uranium
the silent killer
killing us day by day
while the American's lie
while they American's deny
Afghans slowly die
