Blowback - Capital D

The bold leadership took a swift action

They killed some Afghani’s with a knee-jerk reaction

Bush said we had to manufacture and send bombs

You don’t, to keep the people’s focus off of Enron

The recession and that stolen election

Sleazy Senators who can’t control their erections, but

We the victims responding to aggression and

You blind to history repeating former lessons

Skin-deep analysis fails to see the cancer

Missile defence and Star Wars ain’t the answer

Tainted immigrants regardless of innocence

And meanwhile arming my side to raise tenements, yo

No doubt, 9−11 was a tragedy

But 9−10 still ain’t ancient history

Come on, nobody said a word about Managua man

You fighting terrorism’s not what *nigga rhyming want ?*

But we’ve been bombing folk

Murdering and arming folk

Not distinguishing the soldier from the common folk

Stole America, colonised Asia

Raped Africa, stole Australia

And now they *pimped ?* them at ease in South America

Western civ is mass hysteria, but

That’s the modern world that they never teach you in your history texts

A bit more complex, than, honest Abe and Washington’s cherry tree

And wanna speak upon the slaves or the Cherokee

Statue of Liberty is really *?

* and rusted

Talking peace but they scared to face justice

I love Mrs America but hate her flaws

Of the adversity, diversity and stable laws

But stable laws with no equality solidifies oppression

As we trade our morality for the guise of legality

The * impregnable ?* status-quo makes a brother sporadical

Men behaving like animals got our morals unravelling

While they try to keep the rabble in line

Battered and blind, dabbling in wine, battered and divine signs

Travelling in time the same present we find

Too many brothers of mine, cut down in our prime

Malcom, Martin, Huey P, could be you and me

My father taught the kid be a man protect your family, but

What if my family was all of humanity

Beyond these national boundaries and tribalism

Religions based on racism, hate and division

Ancient wisdom getting twisted in the name of a clan

Or a man, we can’t see we share the same family tree

That’s deep, since I don’t act * sleep?

*

Or play the back seat, now I’m the black sheep, peep

We entered as a stranger and returning as a stranger

So shalom to the strangers, who fear no danger

I hang on black stone, face the black stone

Built with former black stones

Crash domes and uncover the facts of Blowback

«So, the point is that, this type of violence that has come back to haunt this

country is a result, of what their own hands have wrought.

Now that is a

painful thing to deal with.

This is a monster we spawned ourselves,

one of the heads of the CIA, and that’s a direct quote from the book the „New Jackals“, it’s him, this is a monster we spawned ourselves.»
