Story behind the song
9/11
Lyrics
Disrupting our lives and our futures with bombs
So you can teach young boys and soldiers not to cry
Leaving our hearts in a quandary that could lead
to our eventual demise so we can
just taste the prize of victory and bask
Under the sweet melody of peace
Nodding our heads and burying our reason
In colors of red, white, and blue
Blurring the distance between being
sound in mind and beyond reason
We no longer question sanctity
As bloodguilt lies in a series of bars
Across the professed white purity of our country
And the blue represents the oceans that were not quite
Deep enough, nor rugged enough, nor wide enough
To shield this great country
From the falls of its two greatest bishops
Leaving the government in check
The mouse so well hidden
While our youth are losing future
While they are sent in ships and planes
To the other side of the hemisphere
To kill this man or bring him here
Who is responsible for the deaths of our mothers
And who took away our hope for uniting as brothers
6,000 lives are claimed by death
While 50 stars sing anthems of togetherness
Pop princess by the rock legend by the folk singer
To unite our nation with the only vibe
That calms an agitated spirit?
In a nation that argues over which fashions
Will get you noticed this fall
While babies are dying of AIDS in Africa
And the very apple of a woman?s cheek
Is never seen under the dark veil of Taliban
Woman losing lives because they will not
Respect the commands of a monger
Waiting for relief by the hands of a stranger
And in some homes fathers are losing their tempers
With bursts of anger cause
2,648 innocents can no longer catch their breaths
And even the tolls in Afghanistan cannot cancel
Out their deaths and their blood and remains call out to us
From the American rubble
The debris loaded with pounds of flesh
And deceased thoughts parish along with
The memories of lives and loves and hates?
The claiming of innocence must be justice
for an evil institution with a wrongful government
That provides liberty and justice for all?
They have us in checkmate
And we could lose it all
And we are scared
Cause the enemy is within.
