[verse] The Department of Defense first would board, To seek the truth of what was stored, Coast Guard's guns were just to stop, No first destruction from the top. [verse] The shots were fired to halt the ship, Or for defense upon the trip, They charge the guilty for their plot But spare the innocent that were caught. [verse] The Department of War shows no grace, Fast strikes against the human race, They view the innocent at sea, The same as drug-trade smugglery, [verse] They fire on either just the same, Regardless of who is to blame, The wreck descends beneath the sea, Bloody waters for all to see [Chorus 1] They claim, "It can't happen here," can you know? How far will we let this injustice go? Are we prepared to face the moral cost, For all the souls that our vote lost? [verse] The pilot fired missiles, then sent the word, "Two souls survived," the command post heard. But Pete’s final order broke every law, Complicit soldiers share in the flaw. [verse] Pete commands, "kill them all," A dreadful and illegal call. The two survivors, full of dread, But the pilot returns to leave them dead. [chorus] They claim, "It can't happen here," can you know? How far will we let this injustice go? Are we prepared to face the moral cost, For all the souls that our vote lost? [bridge] Our nation's honor we must replete, Demand justice and prosecute Pete! It’s a war crime we must defeat,, Demand justice and prosecute Pete! [verse] The Venezuelan death count grows, Past one hundred, the tally shows, They broke all codes of world decree, A grievous war crime for all to see. [verse] The moral debt is ours to pay, We own the failure of the day. The tragic crime is complete, The shame of silence we must meet. [verse] Will future you be filled with remorse? Or feel the courage that set our course? You have a righteous and unyielding might, But only if you claim it and vote for right. [chorus] They claim, "It can't happen here," can you know? How far will we let this injustice go? Are we prepared to face the moral cost, For all the souls that our vote lost? [outro] Our nation's honor we must replete, Demand justice and prosecute Pete! A war criminal’s fate is complete, Demand justice and prosecute Pete! Prosecute Pete!
