Henry Kissinger¶
How does a warmonger, tactless and so ruthless Become a figurehead, influential and notorious? The mastermind of realpolitik, they call him Kissinger Started off as an immigrant, ambitious and a schemer
'Realpolitik' founding father without morals, do strange cases, by finding spaces destroying races leaving no traces Henry Kissinger, the man with so many different faces
He said, "I'll be your Secretary, your Secretary of State I'll navigate the globe and dictate our nation's fate From Vietnam to Chile, I'll meddle in affairs Cause chaos and destruction, showing no one cares"
In West Germany, born and raised, a troubled youth he had Came to America to build, built a legacy so grand He joined the Nixon administration, seeking power's sweet embrace Henry Kissinger, the man with a smile on his face
Well, the Cold War was his playground, a game of power and might Back-channel diplomacy, always out of sight, shrouded by night Behind closed doors, secret deals were made While innocent lives crumbled, left betrayed What's his name man?
Oh, Henry Kissinger Your name is Henry Kissinger You may have won a Nobel Prize, but history won't forget Your life debt, life debt
You paved the way for dictators, supported coups and wars From East Timor to Cambodia, the body count soars But you dined with the elite, a member of the club
While innocent lives were lost, shoved under the rug
So raise a glass to Kissinger, the architect of strife A legacy of bloodshed, a never-ending fight But let us not forget, as we sing this parody song
That power unchecked can do so much wrong
In the midst of the chaos, his power did increase
But scandals and controversies, they never did cease
From secret bombings in Cambodia, the truth he'd conceal
His name synonymous with cunning, a master of the deal
He'd spin a web of diplomacy, an intricate charade
A Nobel Peace Prize winner, with a darkened accolade
Behind closed doors, the whispers would grow
As critics questioned his actions, the seeds of doubt they'd sow
