Lyrics No Apologies - Joni Mitchell

The general offered no apologies
He said, "The soldiers erred in judgement
They should have hired a hooker"
No apologies to the outraged Japanese
No sorry, little girl, the pigs just took her

Tire skids and teeth marks
What happened to this place?
Lawyers and loan sharks
Are laying America to waste

Freddie said that Juan thinks I think he's the devil
What a lofty title for such a petty little tyrant
Bigger beasts abound and they kick this world around
At this crazy speed with violence and greed

Tire skids and teeth marks
What happened to this place?
Lawyers and loan sharks
Are laying America to waste

So what makes a man a man in these tough times?
As drug lords buy up the banks and warlords radiate the oceans
Ecosystems fail, snakes and snails and puppy tails
Are wagging in the womb beneath the trampled moon

Tire skids and teeth marks
What happened to this place?
Lawyers and loan sharks
Are laying America to waste

The general offered no apologies
