Rendition, rendition, blame it on the coalition
All the emeralds that are missing, oh I wish we still had jack lemon
Rendition, rendition I never knew the sky was a prison
It's a long hard revolution, oh good god I feel like a liberal
For tomorrow I will beg, steal and borrow
And at the moment im jumping at sorrow
I wish I knew what I did wrong
Can anybody hear the screaming of us? The screaming of us
In the long hard revolution
Rendition, rendition, blame it on the coalition
The CIA will stay invisible, oh good god I sound like a liberal
Rendition, rendition I never knew the sky was a prison
It's a long hard revolution, oh good god I feel like a liberal
For tomorrow I will beg, steal and borrow
And at the moment im jumping at sorrow
I wish I knew what I did wrong
Can anybody hear the screaming of us? The screaming of us
In the long revolution
For tomorrow I will beg, steal and borrow
And at the moment im jumping at sorrow
I wish I knew what I did wrong
Can anybody hear the screaming of us? The screaming of us
In the long revolution
All the emeralds that are missing, oh I wish we still had jack lemon
Rendition, rendition I never knew the sky was a prison
It's a long hard revolution, oh good god I feel like a liberal
For tomorrow I will beg, steal and borrow
And at the moment im jumping at sorrow
I wish I knew what I did wrong
Can anybody hear the screaming of us? The screaming of us
In the long hard revolution
Rendition, rendition, blame it on the coalition
The CIA will stay invisible, oh good god I sound like a liberal
Rendition, rendition I never knew the sky was a prison
It's a long hard revolution, oh good god I feel like a liberal
For tomorrow I will beg, steal and borrow
And at the moment im jumping at sorrow
I wish I knew what I did wrong
Can anybody hear the screaming of us? The screaming of us
In the long revolution
For tomorrow I will beg, steal and borrow
And at the moment im jumping at sorrow
I wish I knew what I did wrong
Can anybody hear the screaming of us? The screaming of us
In the long revolution

The song "Rendition" concerns the act of extraordinary rendition, which has been described as a global system of human rights violations. The song is partly inspired by the academy award-winning 1982 film Missing starring Jack Lemmon.
Extraordinary rendition è la locuzione inglese con cui si designa un'azione (sostanzialmente illegale, o per lo meno "extralegale") di cattura/deportazione/detenzione, clandestinamente eseguita nei confronti di un "elemento ostile", sospettato di essere un terrorista. Un esempio storico notissimo potrebbe ravvisarsi nell'operazione con cui Israele condusse sul proprio territorio il criminale nazista Adolf Eichmann dopo averlo rapito in Argentina (1960).
La pratica delle extraordinary rendition (o consegne straordinarie) è stata ripetutamente messa in atto dai servizi segreti statunitensi - in particolare, dalla CIA - , con la motivazione della lotta al terrorismo avviata dopo i fatti dell'11 settembre 2001, anche se si riscontrano casi in cui già l'amministrazione Clinton provvide a riconsegnare a Stati arabi loro cittadini sospettati di terrorismo.
