Blinded By Faith - Weapons Of Ma** Distraction lyrics

Shockwave in the suburbs of the Empire, The twin towers collapse, a glimpse of apocalypse, 30 seconds and the face of the world has changed Scorched earth policy applied on US ground Achilles' heel touched irremediably And the giant chokes in the ashes of his dreams Security increased and paranoia swells Vengeance sharpened its claws We need a scapegoat, a scarecrow, a symbol A symbol of Hate and its horrid sequels A scarecrow to incarnate our secrete nightmare A scapegoat to charge and judge without appeal But, there's a but, eye for an eye is a law that makes the world blind There's an enemy and a victim, but the victim soon becomes the enemy (Chorus:) Who wages the war, and who pulls the strings? Hidden murderers, suit and tie criminals Who wages the war, and who pulls the strings? Don't be fooled by their weapons of ma** distraction Don't misunderstand our critic of the conflict, We stand for nuance, doubt and judgement Our point of view: there's no Good and Evil in such a war No one-way terrorism, no heroic excuse for murder The circumstances were perfect for the capitalistic untouchables To instigate a New War Order To implant monster corporation in hostile lands To pump the black gold right from the veins of the Middle East Shockwave at the heart of dissidence Innocent civilians in the eye of the storm Western reprisals take aim at the wrong target The besieged crave to prove their firepower To an invader of this stature The jihad seems a suitable response But, there's a but, eye for an eye is a law that makes the world blind There's an enemy and a victim, but the victim soon becomes the enemy (Chorus x2)
