Should the U.S. wage illegal war on Venezuela recklessly?
There’s an easy answer: Let ’em be!
And why did Trump abduct their leader, violate their sovereignty?
Here’s some words of wisdom: Let ’em be!
Let ’em be! Let ’em be! Let ’em be! Let ’em be!
Hands off Venezuela! Let ’em be!
The U.S. bullies all the world, and topples governments with glee
waging wars for greed and piracy
With millions killed in Vietnam, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan:
what a tragic, shameful history!
Let ’em be! Let ’em be! Let ’em be! Let ’em be!
Hands off other countries! Let ’em be!
Oh Trump says he’ll “run” Venezuela, as a U.S. colony
But he fails at running our country
A wrecking ball of failure: desecration is his legacy
Lies, corruption, and iniquity
Let ’em be! Let ’em be! Let ’em be! Let ’em be!
Hands off Venezuela! Let ’em be!
The world must stand together now, and stand for nations’ sovereignty
We demand Maduro be released!
Reject U.S. imperialism! Stop regime-change villainy!
Let all sovereign nations live in peace!
Let ’em be! Let ’em be! Let ’em be! Let ’em be!
Hands off Venezuela! Let ’em be!
Let ’em be! Let ’em be! Let ’em be! Let ’em be!
Hands off other countries! Let ’em be!
