Biography:
The Slackers are a classic American band that is equal parts grit and grace. Their slow rise against the odds is a story in perseverance and a belief in their musical vision, what Vic likes to call, "Jamaican Rock N Roll." While they have been influenced, and even personally taught by Jamaican ska/reggae originators, like the Skatalites and the Upsetters (Original backing band for the Wailers), the band sees its music as an extension of the traditions of the United States.

Intro: G, B7, Em, C
Verse:
G B7
When I was young all them teachers taught me
Em C
In the old books that their Cold War bought me
G B7
They said like dominos this whole wide world could
Em C
Just all to pieces like they wish that old Middle East would
Chorus:
G B7 Em C
But international war criminal
G B7 Em C
Information is minimal
G B7
The weapons of destruction
Em C
They are gasoline and petroleum
G B7 Em C
And are you stickin' 'round to see what happens
G B7 Em C
Are you stickin' 'round to see what happens
Verse:
I heard they found one in a hole man
White lights crawlin' on his brown skin
But ain't it shameful just being human
No it's old as original sin that white light's always creepin' in
Chorus:
And international war criminal
Situation is pitiful
The weapons of destruction
They're just gasoline and petroleum
Will you stick around to see what happens
Are you stickin' around to see what happens
Verse:
International rules of war are spoken
When it suits someone to have them broken
It's funny how they go on definin' terror
As killing and destroyin' things to force your own agenda
Chorus:
But international war criminal
Situation it's pitiful
The weapons of destruction
Are gasoline and petroleum
But are you stickin' 'round to see what happens
International war criminal
Infromation it's critical
Weapons of destruction
They are gasoline and petroleum
Will you stick around to see what happens
Will you stick around to see what happens
