Story behind the song
Back in 2002 Aslan had been watching the news and had been disgusted at the fact that the PM's wife had been forced to apologise for stating: 'as long as young people feel they have got no hope but to blow themselves up you are never going to make progress.' He picked up a pen and wrote down the opening lines to the song, with the knowledge that Cherie Blair's comment did not justify terrorism but merely was the mouthpiece for the many but not the few.
Lyrics
I’ve got no explosive jacket strapped on But I’m a terrorist cos what I say is wrong I don’t wanna kill I just wanna debate That makes me a terrorist a true object of hate They say the first amendment entitles free speech But my views are censored the public I can’t reach Cos I ain’t no Zionist jew They Claim I wanna kill all that’s Hebrew A land so free its home of the brave But I bet it’s the oil they really wanna save I’ve got no explosive jacket strapped on But I’m a terrorist cos what I say is wrong I don’t wanna kill I just wanna debate That makes me a terrorist a true object of hate They say the first amendment entitles free speech But my views are censored the public I can’t reach Mrs Blair set an example to the nation What you said was just mass manipulation Apologies now Israels always in the right You mustn’t give the public any true insight Israel I love you let me take you from behind You get away with it all so please come fuck my mind I wanna swim in some oil while humans are abused And create a huge slick with justice refused The Terrorism Acts the work of fascists Why goes my country support those terrorists I’ve got no explosive jacket strapped on But I’m a terrorist cos what I say is wrong I don’t wanna kill I just wanna debate That makes me a terrorist a true object of hate They say the first amendment entitles free speech But my views are censored the public I can’t reach You’re the true terrorists - hears my verbal assault You’re the true terrorists - all evils not my fault The Holocaust was terrible but Islams not to blame So why did you exploit for your profit and your gain 7/7 was a wicked tragedy While 9/11 lets blame on policy You say terrorism cannot be justified Yet you ignore states but never suicide A sea of oils turned into red Blood of the innocent the enemy you said Its all in the name of imperialism Abusing human rights is true terrorism I’ve got no explosive jacket strapped on But I’m a terrorist cos what I say is wrong I don’t wanna kill I just wanna debate That makes me a terrorist a true object of hate They say the first amendment entitles free speech But my views are censored the public I can’t reach © Lyrics Copyright E.A.
