lyrics

Chorus
baby/we’re gonna burn right to the ground/baby/we all fall down/all fall down/and maybe/we’re gonna open up the skies/and part the clouds/and part the clouds

V1
from the cradle to the burial chamber/we're living in danger/absorption of these non-truths/given to us through your anger/the seeds of vengeance/sewed like knitting circles/the bombs strapped to our children/they hurt you/and they stifle/blindfold like a rifle/wielded by a child/with nothing but an eyeful/of unexplained rage/to which Mohamed lays claim/don't know it's origin/but knows how it tastes though/a bitter taste like your Christ executed/the father with the collar around his neck/what's he doing?/I thought I could trust him/I was told to trust him/but the things he makes me do when no one's around/they're disgusting/and so you see/all that you see/is yours/my son/take it ‘til they bleed/intruders in our lands/these holy lands/and their existence/well they shift through the sands/so check the checkpoints/remember that the flames/that incinerated your family through the petrol bomb rain/Palestine fire they project into our lives/so keep that hatred ‘til it eats you up alive/cycle of life son/kill or be forever weak/blood for blood/eye for eye/into heaven peak/then you sleep/knowing that you did your bid/God loves you/so in death you’ll now forever live

V2
anchor-men twitching through their puppetry/the strings controlling them/controlling you and me/like they dance to the agenda of the higher few/if you don't sing their song/they don't hire you/the same story reported in different ways/to serve master/whatever corporate says/al Jazeera/the mouthpiece of Mujahidin/al Qaeda’s own propaganda TV screen/and Glen Beck with Murdoch’s d**k/coming out of his mouth/the jap's eye of self-service/spouting out/ejaculating all over the recording camera/impregnating us all with propaganda/and they ingest it/believe it/and digest it/like TV dinners/then move on to the next s**t/vacuous housewives/stretched and injected/while the young look on and think this is what's expected/and anorexics bred through their reflections/reflective of the media's true intentions/who's breaking up?/who's addicted?/who's pregnant?/the bastard born without form/and dejected

V3
and with the thirst for black gold still fresh on their tongue/the U.S. trained Bin Laden how to pick up a gun/funnelled billions to Taliban/to contain communism/full circle later/now the towers is missing/we shook Saddam's hand/smiled for the cameras/gave him mustard gas so he could spit flammable grammar/murdered the Kurds and Persians with the weapons he’s given/then the U.S. turns around/and asks him where they be hidden/intervened in Iran/so they could bring back their shah/their puppet regime they could control from afar/but from our lust for oil/power/money/control/fundamentalist fanatics arose to take their toll/crazed ayatollahs/with nukes under their thumbs/Israel in their sights/U.S. smoke in their lungs/killing their students/who questioned what they see/where the f**k was Barack/when Neda bled in the streets?
