Mass Destruction

My Dad came into my room Holding his hat I knew he was leavin' 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 You're the mister of the house now Remember this And when you wake up in the mornin' Give ya Momma a kiss" Then I had to say goodbye In the mornin' 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'll 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 Soaraway Sun Or BBC One Misinformation is a weapon Of mass destruc You coulda 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, Enron or anyone Greed Is a weapon Of mass destruction We need to Find courage Overcome Inaction is a weapon Of mass destruction Inact The skin under my chin Is exploding again I'm getting stress From some other children I'm holding it in We takin' sides like a politician And if I get friction We get to fightin' I'll defend my Dad He's the best of all men And whatever he's doin' He's doin' the right thing It's frightening But it makes me mad Why do all of these people Seem to hate my dad? And if that ain't enough Now I get 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 Seems 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 When daddy came home, tonight Listen here kid: Whether long range weapon Or suicide bomber Wicked mind is a weapon Of mass destruction Whether you're Soaraway Sun Or BBC One Misinformation is a weapon Of mass destruc You coulda 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, 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 Let's be clear This scenario is Happening everywhere And you ain't going to nirvana Or far-vana 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 waitin' For someone else To make us free? And we refuse to see That people overseas suffer Just like we: Bad leadership and egos Unfettered and free Who feed on 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 'Cause I don't want your daddy Leavin' home tonight Leavin' home tonight
