Why Do They Hate Us? A History of US Mistakes Lyrics

Long before the regime-change disasters in Iraq, Venezuela and other nations during the Bush/Cheney years, the U.S. stayed making enemies around the world, using the CIA to remove democratically elected leaders who stood in the way of bigger corporate profits.

And as the United States typically does, everybody thought, “They’re probably gonna totally love us for this! We’ll tell everybody we’re doing it for freedom!”

It backfired in every case. Sure, the corporations loved it, but Washington was steady making enemies of the U.S. by the millions. Let’s take a look at the first few attempts:

IRAN 1953

GUATEMALA 1954

CHILE 1973

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
