Blowback

Step back from the blow back

Step back from the blow back

Step back from the blow back

Plans that were hatched with the strings still attached

See there's always a catch when you're livin' through a blowback

You're wonderin' why you need places to hide

Keep one eye to the sky when you're waiting for the blowback

Sink into the mud watch out for the scud

'Cos oil is thicker than blood in the world of the blowback

From ally to madman, from client to badman

From Gomorrah to Saddam starring in the blowback

Invisible sins, invisible kings

The shit we're in, gonna drown in the spin

Permanent warfare, burning up welfare

Add up, add up, their share of the hardware

Rights disposed off, government gloves off

Flick of the wrist, summary justice

Feel the kiss of the U.S. fist

Hollywood, Hollywood tinsel this

Fanning the flames of fanatical fervor

One bad turn always deserves another

Covert and subvert and secret operation

Still sufferin' the consequence of active inaction

Tunneling through mountains, building networks of caves

Forty million dollars for forty thousand graves

Collateral damage and friendly fire

Talking the talk of the undercover empire

Live and direct from the undercover empire

Live and direct from the undercover empire

Live and direct, live and direct

Live and direct from the undercover empire

What's the rules of engagement?

What's the price of containment?

Can we come to an arrangement?

Make a buck off the blowback

They don't know about this flow

Watch your pipe line not your show

It's McWorld and fries to go

Starring in the blowback

One sided triangle

Squarin' the circle

Pentagonal diagonal

Caught out in the blowback

Is it really all over?

Are we living in end time?

Don't we know that there's no time?

Step back from the blowback

Control, we now have air superiority

Their only plane was the one we sold them last week

As leaflets, food parcels explode into nails

Bush chokes on a pretzel and Clinton exhales

Sayin' cool down India, cool down Pakistan

Here comes your new billion dollar air squadron

Laying down a pipeline through Kazakstan

This ends this broadcast live from absurdistan

Live and direct from London, absurdistan

Live and direct from London, absurdistan

Step back from the, step back, step back from the blow, blowback

Step back pushin', step back pushin'

Step back pushin', from the blowback
