Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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]
It seems like the rag-heads and Pakis 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 mommy hurry with her bags
Rather read The Sun than study all the facts
Tell me, what's the bigger threat to human society?
BAE Systems or home-made IED'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 Israelis die from peanut allergies
It's like the definition didn't ever exist
I guess it's all just dependent who your nemesis is
Irrelevant how eloquent the rhetoric peddler is
They're telling fibs, now tell us who the real terrorist is
[Verse 3]
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 4]
Lumumba was democracy
Mosaddegh was democracy
Allende was democracy, hypocrisy, it bothers me
Call you terrorist if you don't wanna be a colony
Refuse to bow down to a policy of robbery
Is terrorism my lyrics?
When more Vietnam vets kill themselves
After the war than die in it
This is very basic, one nation in the world
Has over 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 definition didn't ever exist
I guess it's all just dependent who your nemesis is
Irrelevant how eloquent the rhetoric peddler is
They're telling fibs, now tell us who the real terrorist is
[Verse 5]
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 6]
(You think that I don't know)
(But I know, I know, I know)
(You think that we don't know, but we know)
Was Building 7 terrorism?
Was nano-thermite terrorism?
(You think that I don't know)
Diego Garcia was terrorism?
(But I know, I know, I know)
I am conscious that Contras was terrorism
(You think that we don't know, but we do)
Phosphorous that burns hands, that is terrorism
Irgun and Stern Gang, that was terrorism
(You think that I don't know)
What they did in Hiroshima was terrorism
(But I know, I know, I know)
What did in Fallujah was terrorism
(You think that we don't know, but we know)
Mandela ANC, they called terrorism
Gerry Adams IRA, they called terrorism
(You think that I don't know)
Erik Prince Blackwater, it was terrorism
(But I know, I know, I know)
Oklahoma, McVeigh, that was terrorism
(You think that we don't know, but we do)
Everyday USA, that is terrorism
Everyday UK, that is terrorism
[Verse 7]
Every day, every day, every day
Every day, every day, every day
Every day
Oh
Yeah
You think that we don't know, but we do
