i wish no ill on you
but I’m not the one you have to fear
the one who doesn’t fear you
the one who rejoices when bad things happen to you
the one holding the gun in her holy jihad
she’s the one you must fear
with hundreds in the security force surrounding you
you’re encapsulated in a bubble of protection
but in the unsuspecting moment
when you least expected…expect it
the bubble has burst

i wish you no ill w
theres no doubt the world is a more dangerous place
since you responded the way you did
after the towers fell
you started the war on terror
but how do you battle an ideology or a concept?
as we’ve learned the hard way in iraq
it ain’t the same as battling a country

i wish you no ill w
but I’m not the one behind the ambush
