American Terrorist (feat. Matthew Santos)

Close your mind, close your eyes, see with your heart

How do you forgive the murderer of your father?

The ink of a scholar is worth a thousand times more

Than the blood of a martyr

We came through the storm, nooses on our necks

And a smallpox blanket to keep us warm

On a 7-47 on the Pentagon lawn

Wake up, the alarm clock is connected to a bomb

Anthrax lab on a West Virginia farm

Shorty ain't learned to walk, already heavily armed

Civilians and little children is especially harmed

Camouflaged Torahs, Bibles, and glorious Qur'ans

The books that take you to heaven and let you meet the Lord there

Have become misinterpreted reasons for warfare

We read 'em with blind eyes, I guarantee you there's more there

The rich must be blind 'cause they ain't see the poor there

Need to open up a park? Just close ten schools, we don't need 'em

Can you please call the fire department?

They down here marchin' for freedom

Burn down they teepees, turn they TV's on to teach 'em, and move

The more money that they make, the more money that they make

The better and better they live

Whatever they wanna take, whatever they wanna take

Whatever, whatever it is

The more that you wanna learn, the more that you try to learn

The better and better it gets

Now the poor Klu Klux, man, see that we're all brothers

Not 'cause things the same, but 'cause we lack the same color

And that's great, now that's mean

Can't burn his cross 'cause he can't afford the gasoline

Now, if a Muslim woman strapped with a bomb on a bus

With the seconds runnin' give you the jitters

Just imagine a American-based Christian organization

Planning to poison water supplies to bring the second-coming quicker

****, that ain't livin' properly

Break 'em off a little democracy

Turn they whole culture to a mockery

Give 'em Coca-Cola for their property

Give 'em gum, give 'em guns, get 'em young, give 'em fun

But if they ain't givin' it up, then they ain't gettin' none

And don't give all, no man, just give 'em some

It's the paper, some of these cops must be Al-Qaeda, ****

The more money that they make, the more money that they make

The better and better they live

Whatever they wanna take, whatever they wanna take

Whatever, whatever it is

The more that you wanna learn, the more that you try to learn

The better and better it gets

American Terrorist

The more money that they make, the more money that they make

The better and better they live

Whatever they wanna take, whatever they wanna take

Whatever, whatever it is

The more that you wanna learn, the more that you try to learn

The better and better it gets

American Terrorist

It's like

Don't give the black man food, give red man liquor

Red man, fool, black man, ****

Give yellow man tool, make him railroad builder

Also give him pan, make him pull gold from river

Give black man crack, glock, and things

Give red man craps, slot machines

Now bring it back, bring it back

Bring it back, bring it back

Bring it back, bring it back

Bring it back, bring it back

Don't give the black man food, give the red man liquor

Red man, fool, black man, ****

Give yellow man tool, make him railroad builder

Also give him pan, make him pull gold from river

Give black man crack, glocks, and things

Give the red man craps, slot machines

Now bring it back, bring it back

Bring it back, bring it back

Bring it back, bring it back

Bring it back, bring it back, uh

American, American Terrorist...
