American 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.

Close your mind

close your eyes

see with your heart

how do you forgive the murderer of your father?

the ink of a scholar is worth a thousand times more than the blood of a martyr

we came through the storm nooses on our necks

and a smallpox blanket to keep us warm

on a 747 on the pentagon lawn

wake up the alarm clock is connected to a bomb

anthrax lab on a w. virginia farm

shorty aint learned to walk already heavily armed

civilians and little children is especially harmed

camoflouged torahs, bibles and glorious qurans

the books that take you to heaven and let you meet the Lord there

have become misinterpreted, reasons for warfare

we read em with blind eyes i guarantee u there's more there

the rich must be blind b/c they didnt see the poor there

need to open up a park, just close 10 schools

we dont need em

can u please call the fire department they're down here marchin for freedom

burn down their TV's, turn their TV's on to teach em

CHORUS

now the poor klu klux man c that we're all brothers not b/c things are the same b/c we lack the same color that's green, now that's mean

cant burn his cross cause he cant afford the gasoline

now if a muslim woman strapped with a bomb on a bus

with the seconds running give you the jitters?

just imagine a American-based christian orginization planning to poison water supplies to bring the second-coming quicker

nigga they aint livin properly

break em off a little democracy

turn their whole culture to a mockery

give em coca-cola for their property

give em gum, give em guns, get em young, giv em fun

if they aint givin it up, then they aint gettin none and dont giv em all naw ,man, just give em some its the paper, then these cops must be al-qaeda

CHORUS(2X)

It's like

don't give the black man food, give red man liquor

red man fool, black man nigga

give yellow man tool, make him railroad builda

also give him pan, make him pull gold from river give black man crack, glocks to teens, give red man craps, slot machines...
