On “Hassan Chop,” The Offspring rework a guitar riff from their 1986 demo “Call It Religion” — at 1:12 on “Hassan Chop,” you can hear the same guitar solo that appears at 0:58 on “Call It Religion.”
[Intro]
Hassan Chop
[Verse 1]
Shit hits the fan when Apache meets the blade
Caliphate destruction, it's a war that must be waged
Heads are gonna roll when the tire treads stop
"These crimes, they will be paid for", said Hassan Chop
[Chorus 1]
Killing so others will be saved
The real God, he favours us today
The suffering is never gonna stop
As long as the breath of Hassan Chop
[Verse 2]
Swords gleam in the desert, the snipers are in line
Corsairs in the crosshairs, they gladly give their lives
Innocents are scattered like Bedouin in the sand
In this fight for God in a godforsaken land
[Chorus 2]
We kill so others will behave
We'll lead this modern day crusade
"Deliverance" is never going away
As long as the will of the USA
[Guitar Solo]
[Refrain]
Caliphate destruction is a war that must be waged
Caliphate destruction is a war that must be waged
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Possession of the sword, well, it passes down the line
From dictator to liberator to freedom fighter fine
The game is always changing, the result is still the same
Because our God is righteous and yours the one to blame
[Chorus 3]
Killing so others will be saved
The real God, he favors us today
The suffering, will it ever stop?
As long as the breath of Hassan Chop
