A FAMILY SITUATION: rap

Madness!
Terror makes a fist from a kiss
Genocide ’Äî call it what you will
Dogma ’Äî a crutch that make the blood spill
Now the eagle flies
With a bomb in its beak
The terror shriek ’Äî the goo of news-speak
Nine One One Oh One
Hate like a cloud covers the sun
The future’Äôs begun
We won, we won ’Äî we’Äôre free!
Cause we’Äôre a family
