mass destruction

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

misinformation is a weapon of mass destruction

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

misinformation is a weapon of mass destruction

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
