Anti-Flag - It Went Off Like a Bomb

And it went off like a bomb
Incinerating, unforgiving, gone
No recovery, no pretending
Collision course, it's just a wreck
Shock and awe,  no turning back
Nothing left to say or be done
It went off like a bomb

In the dark, in a place where no one sleeps
In the veins of extremist war
There's a message in the
Words that they speak
There's an action that they're calling for
They make hallow all the shallow
Accidents of birth and reign
Zealot scum fucks kill for fame
We erase their names

And it went off like a bomb
Incinerating, unforgiving, gone
No recovery, no pretending
Collision course, it's just a wreck
Shock and awe, no turning back
Nothing left to say or be done
It went off like a bomb

Dog whistles endlessly
Storm troopers in the wings
Gin up the devotees
Certain they're under siege
Division sewn to yield a firestorm
Another product of the new norm
You think you're safe? It won't be too long
Until it all goes wrong

And it went off like a bomb
Incinerating, unforgiving, gone
No recovery, no pretending
Collision course, it's just a wreck
Shock and awe, no turning back
Nothing left to say or be done
It went off like a bomb
Yeah, it went off like a bomb
Yeah, it went off like a bomb
