Virginia Hawthorne
a power pop ballad

'With all of the roughly 20 hijackers involved the attacks believed to have Arab backgrounds, these Americans say, the police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation have ample reason to zero in on that group. "It's not right," said Virginia Hawthorne, a retired accountant from Bremerton, Wash., "but it's justified."'

CHORUS:

Oh, Virginia Hawthorne
it's not right (oh nooo)
but it's justified

Virginia Hawthorne
it's black and white (so white)
and your hands are tied

airplanes touching down
in your hometown
red white and blue
on the fuselage

oil on your hands
and blood demands
what can you do
two car garage

CHORUS

faces on T.V.
they all agree, it seems
no room to breathe
in the aftermath

halfway around the earth
what life is worth
no time to grieve
or do the math

So, Virginia Hawthorne
let's throw it all away
with scarcely a delay
revoke the articles that say
if it's not right ...

[heroic guitar solo]
