Lyrics

Terrorist

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

So, we must ask ourselves, what is the dictionary definition of Terrorism?

"The systematic use of terror, especially as a means of coercion."

But what is terror?

According to the dictionary I hold in my hand,

"Terror is violent or destructive acts, such as bombing

committed by groups in order to intimidate a population or government into granting their demands."

So what's a terrorist?

They're calling me a terrorist

Like they don't know who the terror is

When they put it on me, I tell them this

I'm all about peace and love (Peace and love)

They're calling me a terrorist

Like they don't know who the terror is

Insulting my intelligence

Oh how these people judge (People judge)

It seems like the Rag-heads and Paki's are worrying your Dad

But your dad's favorite food is curry and kebab

It's funny but it's sad how they make your mummy hurry with her bags

Rather read The Sun than study all the facts

Tell me, what's the bigger threat to human society;

B.A.E Systems or home made I.E.D's?

Remote controlled drones, killing off human lives

Or man with home made bomb committing suicide

I know you were terrified when you saw the towers fall

It's all terror but some forms are more powerful

It seems nuts, how could there be such agony?

When more Israeli's die from peanut allergies

It's like the definition didn't ever exist

I guess it's all just depending who your nemesis is

Irrelevant how eloquent the rhetoric peddler is

They're telling fibs, now tell us who the terrorist is

They're calling me a terrorist

Like they don't know who the terror is

When they put it on me, I tell them this

I'm all about peace and love (Peace and love)

They're calling me a terrorist

Like they don't know who the terror is

Insulting my intelligence

Oh how these people judge (People judge)

Lumumba was democracy

Mossadegh was democracy

Allende was democracy

Hypocrisy it bothers me

Call you terrorists if you don't wanna be a colony

Refuse to bow down to a policy of robberies

Is terrorism my lyrics? (is it?)

When more Vietnam vets kill themselves after the war than die in it

This is very basic

One nation in the world has over a thousand military bases

They say it's religion, when clearly it isn't

It's not just Muslims that oppose your imperialism

Is Hugo Chavez a Muslim? Nah... I didn't think so

Is Castro a Muslim? Nah... I didn't think so

It's like the definition didn't ever exist

I guess it's all just depending who your nemesis is

Irrelevant how eloquent the rhetoric peddler is

They're telling fibs, now tell us who the terrorist is

They're calling me a terrorist

Like they don't know who the terror is

When they put it on me, I tell them this

I'm all about peace and love (Peace and love)

They're calling me a terrorist

Like they don't know who the terror is

Insulting my intelligence

Oh how these people judge (People judge)

(You think that I don't know, but I know, I know, I know...

You think we don't know, but we know...) [5x]

Was building 7 terrorism?

Was nano thermite terrorism?

Diego Garcia was terrorism

I am conscious the Contras were terrorism

Phosphorus that burns hands, that is terrorism

Irgun and Stern Gang that was terrorism

What they did in Hiroshima was terrorism

What they did in Fallujah was terrorism

Mandella ANC that was terrorism

Gerry Adams I.R.A that was terrorism

Erik Prince Blackwater was terrorism

Oklahoma McVeigh, that was terrorism

Every day U.S.A that is terrorism

Every day U.K that is terrorism

(Every day) [7x]

(Oh...)

(hey...)

(You think that we don't know, but we do...)
