about

Manipulating the masses has been going on since they coined the phrase "civilized man". Don't let the title fool you. it's a little deeper than that.

lyrics

Suicide Bomber Blues (J. A. Mills-SOCAN)

Verse 1
Osama, Osama, don’t drop no suicide bomber on me
I’m just a working man, tryin’ the best I can, to raise my family
You put Islam under suspicion by exploiting Allah’s wisdom, to spread hate and deceit

Verse 2
There’s been tacit manipulation, in the soul of civilization, since the dawn of history
With more laws and rules to break, it gets easier to take control of you and me
Be it politics, or religion, you’ll always find some tactician, scripting the scene
(adLib: yea, the haves and the have nots)

Verse 3
There’s no shortage of contenders, trying to get us to surrender on bended knees
How much blood’s been spilled, how many must be killed before we live in peace and harmony
It was innocent children, mothers and fathers, murdered by those suicide bombers and that’s a painfull reality

Slide Solo

Verse 4
When you live in those ivory towers, smoking on the pipe of power, it plants intoxicating seeds
The remnants we leave our descendants, validates our acceptance of lust and greed
Some say great leader, others say bottom feeder, based on the propaganda you chose to belief

Fade (vamping signature riff )

Osama, don’t drop no suicide bomber on me
