“STAND DOWN”
by guitargod
(Music by Stevie Nicks)

No one looked.. as requests were denied..
A deadly situation, more security would have been just fine!
Said NO to the ambassador.. again and again……
Even after the British and Red Cross had ran…

No one should ever know.. how that feels..
What SEALS say, is they don’t leave anyone behind!
Two men walked back in bravery..
And took others by the hand..
Took them home…

STAND DOWN! STAND DOWN!
In the middle of that tomb..
Heroes did not get the green-light from you
Firefight!.. All Night!..
SEALS don’t stand on the sidelines…
(cowards only watched in real-time)
With lives on the line…
Now America cries…

They would not turn.. away from friends..
A Patriot’s will.. does not bend!
No man, had to call their names..
They just came…

So they called on down repeatedly to you..
Giving your attention though, was more than you would do
One woman.. did not answer duties call..

Now she shouts out ‘What Difference Does It Make?!?’
And wants it all to go away!!….

STAND DOWN! STAND DOWN!
In the middle of that tomb..
Heroes would not accept cowardice from the situation room…
Firefight!.. All Night!..
SEALS don’t stand on the sidelines…
(don’t stand on the sidelines)
They don’t stand on the sidelines…
With lives on the line………
(now America cries)

“get me a little bit a media sympathy”…
“gonna get me a little bit a sympathy”…
“where is Candy Crowley? I need some sympathy”…
“well I’m offended standing here” (Stand Down!)
“well I got an ARGO movie playing here” (Stand Down!)
“won’t you just accept the ARGO movie”……
“won’t you seeeeeeeeeeeeeeee the ARGO movie”……
“I need a little bit a Hollywood empathy”…
“well well well I’m offended here …
“STAND DOWN!”
