Terrorist?

[ Lowkey ]

ノ

So, we must ask ourselves
What is the dictionary definition of “Terrorism”?
The systematic use of terror
Especially as a means of coercion
But what is terror?

According to the dictionary I hold in my hand
Terror is violent or destructive acts
Such as bombing committed by groups in order to intimidate a population
Or government into granting their demands

So what’s a terrorist?

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

They calling me a terrorist
Like they don’t know who the terror is
Insulting my intelligence
Oh, how these people judge

It seems like the Rag-heads and Paki’s 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 mummy 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 Israeli’s die from peanut allergies

It’s like the definition didn’t ever exist
I guess it’s all just depending who your nemesis is
Irrelevant how eloquent the rhetoric peddler is
They’re telling fibs, now tell us who the real terrorist is

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

They calling me a terrorist
Like they don’t know who the terror is
Insulting my intelligence
Oh, how these people judge

Lumumba was democracy – Mossadegh was democracy
Allende was democracy – Hypocrisy it bothers me
Call you terrorists if you don’t wanna be a colony
We used to bow down to a policy of robbery

Is terrorism my lyrics?
When more Vietnam vets kill themselves after the war than died in it?
This is very basic
One nation in the world has over a thousand military bases

They say it’s religion, when clearly it isn’t
It’s not just Muslims that oppose your imperialism
Is Hugo Chávez a Muslim? Nah… I didn’t think so
Is Castro a Muslim? Nah… I didn’t think so

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

They calling me a terrorist
Like they don’t know who the terror is
Insulting my intelligence
Oh, how these people judge

You think that I don’t know
But I know, I know, I know
You think that we don’t know
But we know

You think that I don’t know
But I know, I know, I know
You think that we don’t know
But we do
