rn12: yes we kony - juice rap news lyrics

[robert foster]
welcome dear viewers, to the show; it’s only
the start of 2012, but already, coast to coast we
hear reports that humanity has evolved, globally
now that we know the cause of all our woes – joseph kony
the world’s now on a better path, and the panacea
seems to have come from this hero white man here:
whose internet video played a vital role in
highlighting the plight of uganda’s child soldiers
it went viral and spread with unprecedented speed
shared over twitter feeds and endorsed by celebrities
to tell us more, we’re happy to have him on:
it’s general baxter representing africom
general baxter, good to see you

[general baxter]
right back at’cha

[robert foster]
tell us, what does all this signify for africa

[general baxter]
well, robert, i can tell you for a start
kony2012 really made me appreciate art
when my son showed me this clip, my heart was stirred
i was spurred to action to right the wrong that occurred

[robert foster]
tell us your feelings general, be honest

[general baxter]
since we k!lled osama there’s been a hole in my stomach

[robert foster]
i’m sorry to hear that…

[general baxter]
i miss him!

[robert foster]
why?

[general baxter]
because we desperately need a new “dark-skinned disney villain”
so we can justify defence budgets of trillions
in a never ending quest to k!ll him
and this time it’s african soil where we need to get embroiled
and quick, before china gets all the oil

[robert foster]
so this kony is a perfect gift then!

[general baxter]
he looks like a bad guy and he hurts children!

[robert foster]
kony2012 was an experiment, was it a success?

[general baxter]
yes! kids are begging the us to bomb africa next
check this out — let me introduce you to gavin, my son
gavin, what does daddy do?

[gavin baxter]
k!ll poor people, with guns

[general baxter]
now, look at what happens
when i show gavin a picture of an african
who’s this?

[gavin baxter]
that’s a bad guy

[general baxter]
that’s right! and what do we do to bad guys?

[gavin baxter]
we use drones and armed forces
to k!ll them and take their resources

[general baxter]
see robert! even a four year old has got it!
this makes me so proud…sorry!

[robert foster]
the video’s done more than you ever envisaged
and in twenty seven minutes, without cats or t-tties!

[general baxter]
we used to have to wait for terrorist attacks
to justify interventions and mineral grabs
now, thanks to viral videos we can “send advisors”
to lynch… i mean arrest … black…i mean bad guys

[robert foster]
and what will you do once they’ve been caught?

[general baxter]
hand’em over to the international criminal court

[robert foster]
you mean the same court which the us refuses
to submit to for its own war crimes and abuses?
is that hypocrisy?

[general baxter]
robert, honestly!
the icc only prosecutes dark people’s atrocities

[robert foster]
ok, i hear there’s been criticism of the video’s accuracy
fallacies, and neo-colonial fantasies

[general baxter]
don’t have such a ‘heart of darkness’, robert
join the ‘missionary industrial complex’!
save poor africa from burning
accept ‘the white man’s burden’
plus, 90 million americans now know
that ‘africa’ exists, that’s good, no?

[robert foster]
i suppose so
alright, general baxter, thanks for appearing tonight
to explain the facts in black and; well, mostly white
some might disagree with this call to ‘make kony famous’
but what we’ve witnessed this week is nevertheless momentous:
a demonstration of this internet’s potential abilities
to instantly inform and engage tens of millions;
and a willingness of those millions of people
to engage p-ssionately with something more meaningful
combined, these are promising signs
of the potential energy that lies dormant and primed
ready to rise, when the moment arrives
what that moment will be, we shall see in time
