Eleven years to the day
They built a bomb and blew a wall away
We saw the pictures in the night
Streamed to earth by a satellite
They blamed it all on a video
You know this isn’t my first rodeo
We know you watched it in real time
Spending money it’s the people’s dime
Have you been to Benghazi
It’s a bump in the road from Tripoli
It’s a fact four Americans died
Can you tell me why the government lied
Oh, can you tell me why the government lied
It used to be a War on Terror
But empty chairs can’t make an error
They took the coffins off the plane
Will you shoulder any blame
Yeah you owe us the truth
Not that stuff from Mister Plouffe
They blamed it all on a video
Why won’t you tell us what you really know
Have you been to Benghazi
It’s a bump in the road from Tripoli
It’s a fact four Americans died
Can you tell me why the government lied
Oh, can you tell me why the government lied
You know it’s all about security
And hoping you won’t lie to me
The truth’s not in a crystal ball
It’s hiding in a government hall
And then we watched a President hide
Behind the words that Candy cried
Have you been to Benghazi
It’s a bump in the road from Tripoli
It’s a fact four Americans died
Can you tell me why the government lied
Oh, can you tell me why the government lied
