Riz MC - Post 9/11 Blues lyrics

[Verse 1] What can I do? I got the post 9/11 blues On the telly nothin but the post 9/11 news War, Iraq, suicide bombs Stop hogging the limelight And make some room for my songs!! Anyway its all re-runs We need a new war, Bush go get Iran, I heard them talking 'bout your mum! Change the channel, watch some telly for kids, but what's this? ‘Hi kids welcome to fun-fun-fundamentalist' In the breaks, Nike's advertising bomb-proof kicks They're even showing Bin Laden's cave on Cribs! So I picked up a respectable magazine It told me about the new post 9/11 categories- Israeli fighters are soldiers, Irish are paramilitary And darkie ones are terrorists - how simple can it be? But not me.. my friends go: "Riz is still one of us" But if I haven't shaved, they won't sit with me on the bus! [Hook] Everybody do the post 9/11 dance Look scared and shake your arse while the bombs go blast Everybody shake your post 9/11 thong So the dossier was wrong Jack some oil, drop a bomb Sing a song, sing along Bush and Blair in a tree K-I-L-L-I-N-G Shave your beard if you're brown, and you best salute the crown Or they'll do you like Brazilians and shoot your arse down [Verse 2] Post 9/11 getting around can be expensive Cost twelve dead Iraqis for a litre of unleaded And even Green Cross Codes all changed They just teach kids 'duck around low flying planes' And on the tube if you see a dude with a rucksack And a beard, move carriages mate - f** that! They cancelled xmas cos of santa claus' beard His magic red sack got confiscated as a suspect package No need for Halloween, 9/11s more scary Osama Bin Goblin eats kids and he's hairy Hear a knockin' on the door at early dawn, in the dark It's MI6 they'll trick or treat you to a week in Belmarsh Forget Guy Fawkes, he's lame Gunpowder plots don't really compare to planes So no bonfire, Halloween or Christmas, they're done We'll do it all on one day, Merry Nine One One [Hook] [Verse 3] Post 9/11 policy might seem harsh But it's the terrorists fault we got id cards And the congestion charge That they're extending far And electronic tags on the chav childrens arms Course we need Belmarsh and f** 28 days We should put the whole of Oldham in its own f**in' cage Move Hounslow underground so nothing could go wrong Luton's already moving, Bradford's already gone We're all suspects so literally, be watching your back I farted and got arrested for a chemical attack Dropped some litter on the street and I caused a bomb scare But when I told police my name was John They thought they caught the wrong bredda But its ok Post 9/11 I been getting paid Playing terrorists on telly, getting songs made 'But will it get airplay geeza?' Well, if BBC don't want it I'll send it to Al-Jazeera [Hook]
