Wargasm. What a great word. I remember hearing the song by L7 when it came out. But given the events at Abu Ghraib prison, with the release of the horrifying pictures and our government’s problem with the pictures being released (not with the actual abuses involved), the term Wargasm takes on a new clarity.
Porn and drugs and most things that can be abused are abused in America because they are hidden from view and not talked about. Something hidden becomes attractive, like a secret that only you and a select few know. The fact that every country on the planet has mainstream media that are showing more of the war in Iraq than the mainstream American media does is part of how we keep things out of view. Shhhhh. Keep it hidden.
Here’s one example. Why doesn’t American media address footage from an Apache helicopter where we shoot unarmed Iraqi civilians? Yes, a couple networks gave it a quick mention. But this should be analyzed and discussed seriously because we are most likely looking at war crimes here. Shhhhh. Keep quiet.
George Bush doesn’t have to go to 7-11 to buy his porn. He has a big 5-pointed building full of people ready and willing to give him all the porn he could possibly want.
Lyrics to L7’s song “Wargasm” from the album Bricks Are Heavy
Wargasm, wargasm one, two, three
Tie a yellow ribbon around the amputee
Masturbate watch it on tv
Crocodile tears for the refugee
Wargasm, wargasm one, two, three
Smutty, bloody pictures, ecstasy
Blue balls waiting impatiently
From alcatraz to lady liberty
Body bags and dropping bombs
The pentagon knows how to turn us on
Wargasm, wargasm one, two, three
People, people, ecstasy
Wave those flags high in the air
As long as it takes place over there
Wargasm
Wargasm
Wargasm
Wargasm
Body bags and dropping bombs
The pentagon knows how to turn us on
Turn us on
Wargasm
Turn us on
Wargasm
