The US considered the pursued vessel to be part of "Venezuela's illegal sanctions evasion," according to media reports. A US official reportedly said the vessel was flying a false flag.
Piracy
All their morals fell into the sea
There's a greed there that repulses me
Oh, I really hate their piracy
Suddenly
They're no longer "Land of Liberty"
Preaching freedom through hypocrisy
It seemed to happen suddenly
But I know these roots
They had rotted long ago
Something went so wrong
We were just too blind to see
Piracy
Tankers fleeing through invaded seas
Caught by naval ships with greatest ease
Why must they do such piracy?
Piracy
They've shown the way they want to be
A confession of monstrosity
Must we live with all their piracy?
Piracy
To the tune of “Yesterday” by The Beatles
(No apologies forthcoming!)
