Story Behind The Song

I was shocked to learn (not really) that our government would go on nation television and act surprised that we had entered a terrorist war, or that our society is filled with violence.

Song Description

Medium tempo political song in the rock genre with Rap influenced vocals delivered from the pulpit.

Lyrics

An uncivil social war and an unjust leader
A rat in a political cage licks the feeder
In an age of outdated political ways
I watch the war machine pull all the strings
Pushin bombs guns missiles and planes
And the faces of foreigners the news parades
Across my T.V. the slogans I pick up easy
And imitate the violence and hate they feed me

I buy some guns ammo and street fatigues
And create a vacuum where the paper is down the street
Or maybe it will be the kid next door pushin me around
And it all comes tricklin down
Past big city hot spots and suburban small towns
And the violence doesn?t stop it just spreads around
From the officials I elect but live above the law
To the average American family that never saw it comin

Writing?s on the wall (It?s comin, Never saw it comin)

(Chorus)
Eye for eye begins

Social architect of the world and the push
For a global democracy at the hands of a Bush
Or some other similar leader
Who makes foreign soil the world?s bleeder
To drain out a dictators power
And stain the ground in the final hours
With his legacy and a violent show of force
And commit dissidents to a terrorist war

So we get what we have here
They attack back and blow up a restaurant while you?re eatin a snack
And who?s the one that escalates
Who?s really to blame when everyone retaliates

Writing?s on the wall (It?s comin, Never saw it comin)

(Chorus)
Eye for eye begins
