One Man's Terrorist

Listen! It's a settler-colony Don't ask if I contend terrorism - unfollow me Disingenuous pointless question A tenuous connection need a history lesson Listen no time for that and I've no time for you Trying to deflect from what's abundantly true To anyone with eyes who cares to take a look Anybody with a library card go read a book It's incredibly simple look it's not rocket science There's oppressed and oppressor and then there is violence But violent acts commited by those in the former Doesn't make the circles that you're drawing have corners It was wrong when it was done to the Indians And it was wrong when it was done to the Jews And here It's wrong when it's done to Palestinians Now that the foot's no longer in the other shoe You know it's true Wake up! These guys are the baddies! Wake up! These guys are the baddies! Wake up! These guys are the baddies! One man's terrorist? He's the boyo! Wake up! These guys are the baddies! Wake up! These guys are the baddies! Wake up! These guys are the baddies! One man's terrorist? He's the boyo! Listen! The mission is to counter the narrative It's not anti-anything it's directly comparative Comparable whatever sure I'm using it wrong But this is ethno-fascism all day long Can't believe that I have to explain this But the victims in this are entirely blameless Can't believe I gotta do a whole track Just to say that colonialism is micropenis craic Malcolm X said if you're not careful The papers will have you siding with the powerful Or words to that effect I'm paraphrasing him here But his statement was correct and their persuasions are clear You should fear the wee boy when he's throwing a rock Cheer with joy for them blowing him clean outta his socks Don't provide any context just print what your masters Tell you to write you spineless bastards Wake up! These guys are the baddies! Wake up! These guys are the baddies! Wake up! These guys are the baddies! One man's terrorist? He's the boyo! Wake up! These guys are the baddies! Wake up! These guys are the baddies! Wake up! These guys are the baddies! One man's terrorist? He's the boyo! Yeah you see morality doesn't enter it for these people only Legitimacy Aye it's like This is legitimate violence and this is illegitimate And the argument doesn't stand up to any scrutiny Yeah but the state itself was founded by terrorists Yeah I mean These cunts tried to poison London's water supply Listen! All you've got are semantics Coz deep down you know there's no excusing your antics Accusing me of blood libel getting frantic You're liable for a nuclear inspection from Hans Blix It's getting ridiculous and no one believes ye Your lies are ubiquitous you cannot deceive me Leave me alone with your justifications You're gonna displace and erase and replace a whole nation While clutching at straws and playing the victim But the piss-weak excuses you use we're all sick of them Self-defense? From a kid with a kite? Intense bombardment military might Day or night it doesn't matter you level them buildings Can't fight youse are shitehawks you LOVE killing children From far away in a tank youse are hard You shower of bastards - despicable cowards Wise up!
