The song was inspired by reading a book by David Ray Griffin called "The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions". The testimony Secretary of Transportation, Norman Mineta, is remarkable enough, but the Commission also changed the timeline. Mineta's testimony is on YouTube. He stated that he arrived at the Presidential Emergency Operations Center (PEOC) at 9:20 am on September 11, 2001. He found Vice President Dick Cheney already in charge and issuing orders. Mineta said "a young man" kept questioning Cheney as a plane flew toward the Pentagon at intervals that he announced each time as "50 miles out", "30 miles out", and "10 miles out". At the last question, Mineta testifies that Cheney "whipped his neck around and said, 'Of course the orders still stand. Have you heard anything to the contrary?" The Pentagon was hit at 9:38 am. But the 9/11 Commission states in its final report that Cheney did not arrive at the PEOC bunker until 9:58 am. How many orders did Cheney issue? Why was the Pentagon not evacuated or defended after all that had already happened in New York? Why were all the surveillance cameras seized by the FBI and nothing released to the public but 5 frames that show a streak of smoke that could be from a missile and an explosion? How could the Pentagon be hit? And no one get fired, demoted, or reprimanded, only rewarded & promoted?

Cheney’s in the Bunker - Lyrics
Cheney’s in the bunker …now we’re under attack
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?
Chorus:
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
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?
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?”
(chorus) - Instrumental
Cheney’s in the bunker… “Is it real or a drill?”
They’re flying toward the Pentagon, the White House, the Hill…
Dubya’s with the children… lookin’ out of the loop…
The orders all 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?’” (chorus)
Was there one order to “stand down”, and one “shoot to kill”?
At 9:38 the Pentagon was hit with great skill
The cover for the capitol was sent out to sea!
That’s where they sent our fighter jets from loyal Langley!
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?
(chorus) - Instrumental
Cheney’s in the bunker, “now” they’re sayin’ near 10!
They’re changing all the timelines we were given back then…
There’s no time “now” to stop the DC attack…
The Pentagon batteries couldn’t even fight back …
No “shoot down” order aimed at Flight 93…
When passengers were on the verge of victory…
Mineta was omitted from the final report…
Many other matters they dismiss and distort… (chorus)
