LYRICS:
so while the shots back in my old home keep firing
im livin in the heart of the culture of entitlement
and while the IED's find soldiers feet
military drones shoot homes down from thirty five hundred feet high!
im angry! well theres the question of why?
why cant i be sedated by this Western consumerism opiate supplies?
its more than national my ism is genetic
race is all in the mind but the imperialists wont let it
die quick so it dies not, lives on in your hearts
in how we cant see why the west and east are worlds apart
how killin with a push of a button is like playin darts
im a part of this empire that made violence an art

i was born in the Middle East, immigrated to a new world, left colonialism behind, left dictatorships behind, and found new dictatorships
it's time for that to change, its time for all these dictators to be gone, East, West, all over the globe
it's time..

structural imposed poverty kingdoms we call democracies
a new town built on sacred burial grounds, Aristocracies
carefully aim stray bullets collateral damage calculated
so we may continue to live on land that belongs to native
indigenous first nations replaced with a tasteless makeshift
easily entertained united states of 9-5 slave ship
my condolences your dream of a beautiful nation's passed away
like a million Iraqi civilians targeted from outer space
they tell me supporting our troops is necessary
i tell'em our world domination plans are hereditary
aggressive actions we're fractions of the equation and yet
how to stop our destructive appetite we forget
lest we forget those we lost on 9/11
lets just forget our country's notorious blood letting
what we call a war on terror is neo-colonliasm
lets just ignore our extra profitable industrial prisons
see my world calls me out on the patriotism i lack
cant see that im afraid of more patriot acts
cant see that im afraid of the riches we pack
cant see that im afraid of the enemies we attract

and we keep laughing while the cycle continues
until we learn to say no.
