Mass Destruction Lyrics

[Maxi Jazz]

 My dad came into my room holding his hat

 I knew he was leaving, 

 he sat on my bed told me some facts, son.

 I have a duty, calling on me

 You and your sister be brave my little soldier

 And don't forget all I told ya

 Your the mister of the house now remember this

 And when you wake up in the morning give ya momma a kiss

 Then I had to say goodbye

 

 In the morning woke momma with a kiss on each eyelid,

 Even though I'm only a kid 

 Certain things can't be hid

 Momma grabbed me 

 Held me like I was made of gold 

 But left her inner stories untold

 I said, momma it will be alright 

 When daddy comes home, tonight

 

 Whether long range weapon or suicide bomber

 Wicked mind is a weapon of mass destruction

 Whether you're soar away sun or BBC 1

 Disinformation is a weapon of mass destruc

 You could a Caucasian or a poor Asian

 Racism is a weapon of mass destruction

 Whether inflation or globalization

 Fear is a weapon of mass destruction

 

 Whether Halliburton or Enron or anyone

 Greed is a weapon of mass destruction

 We need to find courage, overcome

 Inaction is a weapon of mass destruction 

 The skin under my chin is exploding again

 I'm getting stress from some other children

 I'm holding it in.

 We taking sides like a politician

 And if I get friction, we get to fighting

 I defend my dad, he's the best of all men

 And whatever he's doing, he's doing the right thing

 It's frightening, but it makes me mad

 Why do all these people seem to hate my dad

 And if that aint enough now I got these spots

 I go to sleep every night with my stomach in knots

 And what's more, I can hear momma next door

 Explore the radio for reports of war

 And all we ever seem to do

 Is hide the tears

 Seem like daddy been gone for years

 But he was right

 Now I'm geared up for the fight

 And he would be proud of me

 If my daddy come home tonight

 Listen me calmly 

 

 Whether long range weapon or suicide bomber

 Wicked mind is a weapon of mass destruction

 Whether you're soar away sun or BBC 1

 Disinformation is a weapon of mass destruc

 You could a Caucasian or a poor Asian

 Racism is a weapon of mass destruction

 Whether inflation or globalization

 Fear is a weapon of mass destruction

 

 Whether Halliburton or Enron or anyone

 Greed is a weapon of mass destruction

 We need to find courage, overcome

 Inaction is a weapon of mass destruction

 

 My story stops here, lets be clear

 This scenario is happening everywhere

 And you ain't going to nirvana or farvana

 You're coming right back here to live out your karma

 With even more drama than previously, seriously

 Just how many centuries have we been 

 waiting for someone else to make us free

 And we refuse to see

 That people overseas suffer just like we

 Bad leadership and ego's unfettered and free

 Who feed one the people they're supposed to lead 

 I don't need good people to pray and wait 

 For the lord to make it all straight

 There's only now, do it right. 

 Cos I don't want your daddy, leaving home tonight
