Terrorist Lyrics
Year of Release: 2011
Intro
- 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?
Chorus
- 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)
-
Verse 1
- 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
-
Chorus
- 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)
-
Verse 2
- 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
-
Chorus
- They're calling me a terrorist
- Like they don't know who the terror is

- 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)
