Cheney's in the bunker, now we're under attack(1)
Someone seized our jets in a terror hijack
They flew into the Towers with a mighty impact
The Trade Center fell in a total collapse
Now Bush is in the classroom for a photo-op show
The story of the goat is what he wants "kids" to know
The day is Nine-Eleven year Two-Thousand and One
Now who the hell's attacking us, and what's to be done?

"Do the orders still stand, sir? Do the orders still stand?
Do the orders still stand, sir? Do the orders still stand?
"Do the orders still stand.."

The Transportation Secretary, he testified(2)
By 9:20 AM he was by Cheney's side
Cheney's in charge in the White House war room
When did the teleconference start? And it involved whom? (3)
Mineta said "a young man" asked Cheney in doubt
"Do the orders still stand, sir? They're 50 miles out"
"They're 30 miles out, sir !He reports to command
"The plane is 10 miles out, sir".

Do the orders still stand, sir? Do the orders still stand?
Do the orders still stand, sir? Do the orders still stand?
"Do the orders still stand.."(4)

{-Instrumental interlude -}

Cheney's in the bunker "Is it real or a drill?"(5)
They're flying toward the Pentagon, the White House, the Hill
Dubya's with the children lookin' out of the loop
The orders pass secretly within a small group
The "young man" returns He's askin' Cheney again!
"Do the orders still stand, sir?, He questions command
Cheney "whipped his neck around, "Of course!", says he,
"Have you heard anything to the contrary?"(6)

Do the orders still stand, sir? Do the orders still stand?
Do the orders still stand, sir? Do the orders still stand?
"Do the orders still stand..."

Was there one order to "stand down", and one "shoot to kill"?
At 9:38 the Pentagon was hit with great skill(7)
The cover for the capitol was sent out to sea!
That's where they sent our fighter jets from loyal Langley! (8)
Incompetence, complicity, conspiracy?
Everyone of those requires a penalty!?
If Rumsfeld and Myers failed us all on that day?
Why was one promoted? Why'd the other one stay?

Do the orders still stand, sir? Do the orders still stand?
Do the orders still stand, sir? Do the orders still stand?
"Do the orders still stand.."

{-Instrumental interlude -}

Cheney's in the bunker, "now" it's not til near 10! (9)
They're changing all the timelines we were given back then
There's no time "now" to stop the West Wing attack
The Pentagon batteries couldn't even fight back
No "shoot down" order aimed at Flight 93 (10)
When passengers were on the verge of victory(11)
Mineta was omitted from the final report
Many other matters they dismiss and distort(12)

Do the orders still stand, sir? Do the orders still stand?
Do the orders still stand, sir? Do the orders still stand?
Do the orders still stand...
