Watches
Ryan Harvey

A song about the U.S. war in Afghanistan. It should be noted that this by no means a pro Taliban song. There are many faces of resistance to the U.S. in Afghanistan, and there are many who fight who are not aligned in anyway with unjust and sectarian groups like the Talian or Gulbuddin Hekmatyar. There is an Afghan proverb You may have the watches, but we have the time.

Soldier's got the watches
Farmer's got the time
Soldier's got the capital
Farmer's got the countryside

What you got?
You're pretty far from home here
What you got?
You're all alone here

Soldier's got the helicopter
Farmer's got the RPG
Soldier's got the propaganda
Farmer's got the popularity

And the ghosts of Brits, and the ghosts of Russians
They haunt your dreams don't they?
This has happened before
It went the same way

Lyrics by Ryan Harvey

  21st Century Opium War   A Heart That Beats No More   Addie Polk   All Hands Abandon Ship   Bringing Baseball to DC   Centuries Deep   Changing World   Cops of the World   Dusty boots and dog tags   Growing From it   I Quit Smoking Cigarettes   I69   In The Name Of Western Democracy   La Péna   My Country   Onward, Great Liberator!   Ordinary Heroes   Over My Dead Body   Peace, Justice & Anarchy   Perspective   Placing the Blame   Roulette Wheel   Symbol Of Our Generation   Tea Party   Terry Whitmore   The Gates of Heaven   The Great Feast   The Only Thing that Governments have Done   The Slave Boat and the Merchant Ship   Tout Que Vous Avez Besoin   What Better Time To Rise Than Now?
