False Profit - Foreign Policy lyrics

[Intro] Who sees the truth? Who knows the facts? Who speaks it smooth? So we relax? Who takes the youth? Puts them off track? Who is behind the attacks? [Verse 1] Here’s a gun soldier, time to go to war Days of fun are over, world is safe no more (They threaten our way of life) Defenses need a bolster, welcome to the corps If you kill the bad guys you can keep the peace (we fight for freedom) It’s pretty sad right no human decency They ain’t the dad type cruel clan of beasts ya see (filthy savages) Here’s the thing, you need to help us out Come back a King, why the look of doubt? (You’re not scared are ya?) Do it for your brothers, that’s what it’s all about (No man left behind) Do it so your mother, feels safe in the house (my angel!) Do it so your kids, can say Daddy’s a hero (daddy!!) You’re not into it, we can make you a zero Prison time, an enemy of the state (coward! traitor!) Let wisdom shine, remedy the mistakes Victims lay blind, extremities strewn across the place (explosions, crying) Ripped up intertwined identities lost without trace [Hook] I don’t think any mother should have felt the pain I felt burying my son in the pouring rain (my baby..) I don’t think any boy should have felt the pain I felt seeing mom and dad limp on the terrain (get up...get up...) I don’t think any man should have felt the pain Of regret for putting pellets in his cousins brain I don’t think any God should have felt the pain I felt seeing all my children victims of the chain [Verse 2] Use this controller like a video game You’re zeus with a storm cloud of hideous rain Intelligence reports this strike could end the campaign Collateral damage some civilians gotta pay (gotta crack a few eggs) Natural savages, terrorists in wait Push a bu*ton let’s have a look Not in the rubble? whoops Get ‘em next time killer, bad luck How many died? who gives a f*ck? (what the f*ck) Maybe fifty or hundred you struck A handful survived you soft little f*ck. (you’re cute, i like it) Plan two let’s drive through the hospital pluck Any man who might have commitments to stuff That we fight against in the war for freedom These people want food, look what they feed em (gas, screaming) Chemicals weapons you know how to treat em [Hook] I don’t think any mother should have felt the pain I felt burying my son in the pouring rain (my baby..) I don’t think any boy should have felt the pain I felt seeing mom and dad limp on the terrain (Get up.. Get up...) I don’t think any man should have felt the pain Of regret for putting pellets in his cousins brain I don’t think any God should have felt the pain I felt seeing all my children victims of the chain [Bridge 1] When I got home I found, out my wife slept around I barely made a sound, haunted by the background Noises of the voices screaming in terror (war sounds) Have to live with the choices it seems like they’re errors False flag chem attacks make my hand tremor I fought for scumbags can’t look in the mirror I see my cousins scared face and remember the pleasure Of shooting him unaware, that I was the oppressor (gunshot) [Verse 3] I don’t remember much, seems I blocked it out Grew up sleeping rough the orphanage was full Unfortunate enough, but what’s a kid to do A portion of fluffy bread stolen to see me through Grabbed by the scruff of my neck it felt cruel (little sh*t!) Told I’d lose my hand, that’s when this dude Stepped up commanded he stopped being crude The shopkeeper demanded twice the cash for the food I’m not being grandiose he was nicer than god He was only a man gave me the only advice that I got Taught me how to righteously stop sinnin in hell Took me in like a son taught me about infidels Told me if I strike ‘em down on spot i’m living well Special place in heaven if I kill in God’s name No case for questioning I’m beggin for the fame Braced myself blessed my health and boarded the plane [Bridge 2] When the mission ended I entered the gates Met the big man he said I made a mistake Said I let myself become a victim of hate My parents died protecting me against my own state Stated that my leader feeded into the drones To recruit vulnerable boys and make em their clones Said I was continuing a vicious cycle Hurting innocents creating boys just like you [Hook] I don’t think any mother should have felt the pain I felt burying my son in the pouring rain (my baby..) I don’t think any boy should have felt the pain I felt seeing mom and dad limp on the terrain (Get up.. Get up...) I don’t think any man should have felt the pain Of regret for putting pellets in his cousins brain I don’t think any God should have felt the pain I felt seeing all my children victims of the chain [Outro] Who sees the truth? Who knows the facts? Who is behind the attacks? (Explosion)
