Lyrics Behind Enemy Lines

Behind Enemy Lines

The Global Cannibal

Importing oil exporting blood

We'll take their barrels of oil by the barrel of a gun

Importing capital, exporting death

We'll keep dropping our bombs until there's none of them left

We don't need actual evidence to seal a nation's fate

Just the promise of profit that their resources create

Unleashing our forces to preserve the American dream

By tapping their oil reserves to run our machines

We rule this world

We answer to no one

We've used the U.N. in the past to legitimize our crimes

But if they won't stand with us now, then fuck them

We are the most powerful empire this world has ever seen

And we'll have you either on your knees or under our heel

We'll force you to disarm while our fingers on the button

To continue our reign as the worlds biggest gluttons

War propaganda plagues our country

American perception is not reality

Our leaders have a war mentality

We're living in a war mentality

We feed on fear

We prey on weakness

We drop bombs on people in the name of freedom

We shower civilians with shells of depleted uranium

We want you disarmed

So you can't resist us

When we liberate your land for American interests

The companies anxiously await their sound investment

War propaganda plagues our country

American perception is not reality

Our leaders have a war mentality

We're living in a war mentality

We devour it all

We're the global cannibal

With the brits by our side we'll bomb them back into the Stone Age

To punish them for how uncivilized they are

Our superiority and first-world arrogance

Entitle us to the double standards

Elevating ourselves above criticism and consequence

And justifying anticipatory self defense

We see through your lies

You can stand on your own

We're not with the terrorists,

We're not with you and we're not alone

You're spilling blood to make oilmen richer

And redeem daddy for his miserable failure

But the people you're killing, have a right to exist

We can't let in come to this

War propaganda plagues our country

American perception is not reality

Our leaders have a war mentality

We're living in a war mentality
