Asian Dub Foundation - Blowback lyrics

Step Back from the Blow Back Plans that were hatched with the strings still attached See there's always a catch When you're livin' thru a blow back You're wonderin' why you need places to hide Keep one eye to the sky when you're waiting for the blowback Sink into the mud watch out for the scud Cos oil is thicker than blood in the world of blowback From ally to madman from client to badman From Gommorah to Sadaam Starring in the blowback Invisible sins Invisible Kings The sh** we're in gonna drown in the spin Permanent warfare Burning up welfare Add up add up Their share of the hardware Rights disposed of Government gloves off Flick of the wrist Summary justice Feel the kiss of the U.S. fist Hollywood, Hollywood tinsel this Fanning the flames of fanatical fervour One bad turn always deserves another Covert and subvert and secret operation Still sufferin the conequence of active inaction Tunnelling through mountains building networks of caves $40 billion dollars for 40,000 graves Collateral damage and friendly fire Talking the talk of the undercover empire (live and direct from the undercover empire) What's the rules of engagement What's the price of containment Can we come to an arrangement Make a buck off the blowback They don't know about this flow Watch the pipe line and oil show It's McWorld and fries to go Starring in the blowback One-sided triangle squarin' the circle Pentagonal diagonal Caught out in the Blowback Is it really all over Are we living in endtime Don't we know that there's no time STEP BACK FROM THE BLOWBACK Control we now have air superiority Their only plane was the one we sold them last week As leaflets, food parcels explode into nails Bush chokes on a pretzel and Clinton exhales Sayin' Cool down India cool down Pakistan Here comes your new billion dollar air squadron Laying down a pipeline through Kazakstan This ends this broadcast live from ABSURDISTAN Live and direct from London, Absurdistan
