about

This song is more about the culture of intolerance and hate that followed the 9/11 attacks and the illegal war started on false pretenses.

lyrics

Put together care packages
Wrap them up in crisp paper for a nominal fee
Who knew the bargains we'd get
By pretending that democracy is a product you can trade at ease
New York New York
I wish i could see it now
The countries fucking reeling as hysteria breaks
The drums are beating faster as we fall into rank

And oooooh, isn't it wonderful
And oooooh, isn't it magical

It's high time we learn from our wrongs
Instead of raising up a flag and singing patriot songs
They're biting back we're getting mad
And the whole damn worlds gonna feel our wrath

And oooooh, isn't it wonderful
And oooooh, isn't it magical
And the ones that shall remain will speak of fire and stone
As not a way to hurt a person but a way to build homes

Deserving what we choose to deny
To those who chose a different life
To sacrifice your sons and daughters
Spill their blood upon the alter
Built up by gods who look like men
Determined to extend our sovereign land
Despite expected resistance
And predicated on belief that we're killing with kindness
