Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've been walking through your streets
Where all your money's earned
Where all your buildings, crying and clueless neckties working
Revolving fake lawn houses, housing all your fears
Desensitized by TV
[Verse 2]
Overbearing advertising, god of consumers
And all your crooked pictures looking good
Mirrors are filtering information for the public eye
Designed for profiteering, your neighbor, what a guy
[Verse 3]
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Every time you drop the bomb
You kill the god your child has born
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
[Verse 4]
Modern globalization coupled with condemnations
Unnecessary death
Matador corporations puppeting your frustrations
With a blinded flag, manufacturing consent is the name of the game
The bottom line is money, nobody gives a fuck
Four thousand hungry children leave us per hour from starvation
While billions are spent on bombs, creating death showers
[Verse 5]
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Every time you drop the bomb
You kill the god your child has born
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
[Verse 6]
Why must we kill our own kind?
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Every time you drop the bomb
You kill the god your child has born
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Every time you drop the boom!
