Song: Blowback
Lyrics:

When the bombs came, drones shattered my town
late in the night, didn't hear a sound
I was the one, survived all the trouble
when I just pulled my sorry ass up out of the rubble
surveying the damage caused my neighbors were screaming
piles of broken bodies layin there reeking
rotting in the sun I must have been asleep for hours
what the fuck do we do now, no water, no power

I looked for my kids, I searched for my wife
all I found was a stuffed bear, a corpse, no life
I did what any man would do, I asked Allah why
he answered Jihad, they must all fucking die
no tears no mercy, take from them, what they took
rack up a round, target practice, left hook
teach em what muhammad said, in the good book
send em to their maker while in my eyes they look

no reason to live, and lots to die
don't look down on me and ask me why
sittin in your cushy house, safe from war
watchin on tv screens, never askin what for
so I lock up load, hop up in this toyota
ready to drive through town, pick off who I oughta
I kill these soldiers, its what my fucking job is
do whoever Allah tells me deserves this

back in the states, factories are pumping
corporations workin hard stackin and dumpin
pilin munitions, and printin out stock papers
invest in lockheed martin, the day traders
they're sittin makin money off of missiles and bullets
to put in the back of the heads of those poor sons of bitches
the more lives they take, the more money they make
more legislation, they draft, write, and create

I gather equipment, to make their life hell
turn their bodies into piles of ballistics gel
ieds stacked, in the back of my house
set by road sides, careful, quiet as a mouse
blend in the crowd, escape road blocks
set triggers, tripped by infadel trucks
some folks die, can't concern myself with it
the price of jihad, in Allah's arms they'll sit

no reason to live, and lots to die
don't look down on me and ask me why
sittin in your cushy house, safe from the war
watchin on tv screens, never askin what for
so I lock up load, hop up in this toyota
ready to drive through town, pick off who I oughta
I kill these soldiers, its what my fucking job is
do whoever Allah tells me deserves this

its not just me, theres a million more brothers
who lost wives, friends, and daughters, and mothers
no turning back now, forever infitada
until I'm put in box, I do what I gotta
we send off a mortar, it lands out in the dirt
they level a hospital, kills more baby girls
asymetric is what they call it, we had no chance
raytheons board room does a happy dance

body count rising, bloods now boiling
talking heads on the screen tell me I'm the problem
revenge on the menu, will be till I'm dead
no punishment they can deal causes dread
I welcome with open arms, become the revered martyr
so I fire off another soviet mortar
hope it kills someones brother or father
better them than me, isn't that the mantra?

no reason to live, and lots to die
don't look down on me and ask me why
sittin in your cushy house, safe from war
watchin on tv screens, never askin what for
so I lock up load, hop up in this toyota
ready to drive through town, pick off who I oughta
I kill these soldiers, what my fucking job is
do whoever Allah tells me deserves this

call it nation building, when they leveled our homes
now we're the terrorists, when our loved ones are gone
how could this happen, the path that they chose
brainwashed by CNN and the washington post
our lives mean nothing, we're left and forgot
our only purpose is to sit in poverty and rot
heritage wiped out, whole neighborhood blocks
cities turned to dust, gravel and rocks

pack up their bags, pile in a C-130
back to their land, of wealth, and prosperity
they rotate through, we're left to deal
with the pain and the suffering, all for oil they steal
tried to stand up and fight, but what's the point
strap a bomb to my chest, blow up the next check point
I'll see my wife soon, rejoin my kids too
death to America, and all that they do
