about

Terrorism is word the media uses to describe the actions of groups that use to scare people, so by that the true terror threat is our own media that publicizes the actions of the tiny terror groups to every media outlet you can think of spreading terror and inducing fear. This is then used by governments to introduce laws that breach our privacy and increase there ability to censor us and by arms companies to sell guns to scared people and the media companies to make a profit. You want to stop the spread of terrorism don't listen to the people telling you about it.

lyrics

Here comes the west to save the world again
A picture perfect plan of save the world again
We will bomb all those who don't agree
And make a mess and we refuse to clean
And in this truth the problem lies
Those people we bomb, tend to up-rise
And this might come as a surprise
Cause the media at home just lie lie lie
They keep us sedated, emasculated
To the horror that they created
Coming out places they invaded
For oil and the money that it created
Now this has all come to pass
And terrorism well its built to last
Via mistakes we've made in the past
And perspective reported only ours

But when you read about it,
you don't think about but,
but you think you know,
yeah you know about
When you heard about it,
you don't think about but,
but you think you know,
yeah you know about
But when you think about
You don't know about it
You only read about it
Or you heard about it
You know nothing at all
You know nothing at all
YEAH!

Back at home its all out of control
There blaming immigrants as it all unfolds
Cause of similarities that they can see
But forgetting there human just like me
Its all scaremongering simple as that
They say Russia's poised to attack
So hug nuclear weapon, forget the fact
That they can be used not to fire back
As your kept sedated, emasculated
Listen to the media that they created
Forget about the places that we invaded
And lives we've left devastated
Now this has all come to pass
And terrorism well its built to last
Via mistakes we've made in the past
And perspective reported only ours

You know nothing at all
We don't know what they fight for
We're gonna die in a war
YEAH!

Were the plague rats
We listen to what you say that's
Misinterpretation
Of everything we do
Given a false identity ,
Adopted by conspiracy's
To make us look like,
A bunch mad fools
They'll call us terrorists
the ones that choose to resist
But were not spending taxes
On guns and gas and bombs
I think its pure hypocrisy
In a world of atrocities
What media spits out
it could all be wrong

But im not gonna stand here
Let them speak for the land here
To read between the lines
It takes to long
So we need to create media
That speaks about there demeanor
Or maybe we can start
With a song?

Hey, Mr. Kilvert seem your views
Are not infected
But we've got a new solution
It was publicly elected
We'll stick a gun to you head
At all given times.
And this constant threat of death
Will make you slowly lose your mind
your become terrorist of circumstance,
Don't worry about the fact
We'll look at your religion,
Put it all down to that
The world needs enemies
Or guns they will not sell
And you'll never meet a terrorist,
So who are you to tell that

We've got the plague
We've got the plague
But the media says
That there's no such thing as plague
we've got the plague
We've got the plague
But the media insists
that there's no such thing as plague

as the world collapses,and it all relaxes
It won't be long until another axis
Rises to power in a foreign land
And we nuke it all to the sand
The bodies tower higher than we can say
But the cash towers higher so that's OK
And we all become a deluded race
But from the headlines we still can't say

We've got the plague
We've got the plague
But the media insists
that there's no such thing as plague
we've got the plague
We've got the plague
But the media says
That there's no such thing as plague
