[Intro]

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?


[Hook]

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


[Verse 1]

It seems like the Rag-heads and Pakis are worrying your dad

But your dad's favourite 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 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


[Hook]

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


[Verse 2]

Lumumba was democracy, Mosadegh was democracy

Allende was democracy; hypocrisy, it bothers me

Call you terrorists if you don't wanna be a colony

Refuse to bow down to a policy of robberies

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 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 Chavez a Muslim? Nah… I didn't think so

Is Castro a Muslim? Nah… I didn't think so

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 terrorist is


[Hook]

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


[Bridge]

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


[Outro]

Was Building 7 terrorism?

Was nano-thermite terrorism?

Diego Garcia was terrorism

I am conscious the Contras was terrorism

Phosphorous that burns hands – that is terrorism

Irgun and Stern Gang, that was terrorism

What they did in Hiroshima was terrorism

What they did in Fallujah was terrorism

Mandela ANC – they called terrorism

Gerry Adams IRA – they called terrorism

Erik Prince Blackwater – it was terrorism

Oklahoma, McVeigh – that was terrorism

Everyday USA – that is terrorism

Everyday UK – that is terrorism, every day

Every day, every day, every day, every day, every day, every day

You think that we don't know know but we do...
