LET'S GET DETAINED

We watched the bridge blow up
And I knew it was over for me and you
They'd come after us
For a subscription I had in 1992
My thoughts turned to that night
Doesn't seem so long ago
You mix a mean molotov
Where do you wanna go?

You said
Come on baby, let's get detained
Don't give them your real name
All the loves I can't resist
Are now found on the blacklist
Come on, come on, let's get detained

Every heartbeat was a bomb
Upside-down the world turned
I tasted a C4 kiss
We warmed ourselves as the strip malls burned
Then they knocked in the night
They beat me but I never betrayed your name
A message passed through barbed wire:
"Do you still feel the same?"


ARAB SCARE

Can you see a bomb in every Koran?
Can you see a suicide bomber in every dark-skinned bearded man?
Line up, come in, and register
And try not to think of Treblinka or Manzanar

Something's in the air - Arab scare
Us right here and them over there
Working for TIPS just to get you through the Arab scare
Something's in the air - Arab scare
Say a prayer for those of us caught somewhere
Between Sharia and 21st century Christendom

Can you see a bomb in every Koran?
Can you see a suicide bomber in every dark-skinned bearded man?
God made the oil for us Americans
But for some reason he put most of it under Arab land


MURDER SUPERIOR

God made bullets, God made bombs
God made infidels to use them on
God made rage, God made hate
God made us and we're so great

Murder superior
God's chosen people gonna bury you
Murder superior

God made mullahs, God made popes
God made stretching racks and lynching ropes
How many bodies? How many times?
How many victims of black-collar crimes?
