Mael Vogue - 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!
You guys are the baddies!
Wise up!
You guys are the baddies!
Wise up!
You guys are the baddies!
You're the terrorists!
You're the terrorists!

Wise up!
You guys are the baddies!
Wise up!
You guys are the baddies!
Wise up!
You guys are the baddies!
You're the terrorists!
You're the terrorists!

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!

What did Scum tell you about the bomb?
You? You? You about the bomb?
What did Scum tell you about the bomb?
What did Scum tell you about the bomb?
