Terror

Some people call them terrorists
These boys have simply being misguided

I try to keep my faith alive
I'm close enough to trip the wire
I cannot keep my hate inside
I'm gonna set myself on fire

I get closer, beat by beat
To get the thing I really need
I'm fucking terrified
Will you be ever satisfied?

Day after day innocent people
Are being deported
Interrogated and tortured
Put through the third degree

Fundamentalist forces
Are undermining the integrity
Of liberal and democratic
Political structures

Radical anarchists
Fascists and terrorists
Are responsible for the violence

I try to keep my faith alive
I'm close enough to trip the wire
I cannot keep my hate inside
I'm gonna set myself on fire

I get closer, beat by beat
To get the thing I really need
I'm fucking terrified
Will you be ever satisfied?

Our societies are saturated with blood-lust
Sensationalism and violence
As a result of alienation from oneself's reality
How much longer do we tolerate mass murder?

I try to keep my faith alive
I'm close enough to trip the wire
I cannot keep my hate inside
I'm gonna set myself on fire

Hand-cuffs and shackles won't frighten us
Neither cattle-prod
Nor electrical-whip will silence us
We shall use all peaceful means
To overcome tyranny

Persist and march on
They can't use our shame against us
Regardless of race, social status or gender
We're all affected

I try to keep my faith alive
I'm close enough to trip the wire
I cannot keep my hate inside
I'm gonna set myself on fire

I get closer, beat by beat
To get the thing I really need
I get closer, beat by beat
To get the thing I really need

I get closer, beat by beat
To get the thing I really need
I'm fucking terrified
Will you be ever satisfied?
