(instrumental intro)

Prison cells... 'cross the ocean.
Hidden from the sun... unseen foreign shore.
You won't see them...
That's the wish of W.
"Terr-ists" all, rendered to prison cells.

Seized from Afghanistan, Iraq;
The breach of law is surely true.
So long as war... ain't over...
For the Czar, more torture's what he'll do.

Prison cells... 'cross the ocean.
Hidden from the sun... unseen foreign shore.
You won't see them...
That's the wish of W.
"Terr-ists" all, rendered to prison cells.
