The song was recorded in Clapham Junction, London, England.
The song addresses the dislike, fear and hatred towards Muslims in present day.
The first two verses...
[Hook]
Islamophobia taking over ya’
Islamophobia breaking utopia
[Verse 1]
The same people we give A.S.B.Os
Are the same people we make heroes
We wouldn’t pay for this low life to flip us a burger
Yet we pay tax so they can slit the neck of a lass in a burka
The same people we electronically tag
Are on peace missions in which they toe tag
Terrorist are they all terrorists
Or are they all just being terrorised
Either way terror is on the rise
(either way terror is on the rise)
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
The civilians witness it all
They need help but the UN aren't the ones to call
As freedom fighters their heads will roll
Do they suffer in regret
Or fight for their rights like the suffragettes
They were terrorists but this is the stuff we forget
So we send more troops more troops
Give terrorists the boot the boot
We wind jack in the box until he pops
And puts jack in a box
You blamed Osama the brute
I blame these criminal troops
(you blamed Osama the brute I blame these criminal troops)
[Hook x2]
[Verse 3]
News of the World scandal
People cancelled put it out like a candle
People were annoyed
But then subscribed to yet another tabloid
Was it worth the fight?
You took money from a guy's left pocket with might
And put it straight back into his right
News only printed to thrill
Like the journalist was Joseph Goebbels
This drip propaganda drip drips still
Even has a Muslim praying in a mosque
Looking round in chills
This drip propaganda drip drips still
[Hook]
[Verse 4]
When will you leap to speak it's gone too far
They're banning burkas what’s next yellow star?
Picture a nun in a Habit or Muslim in a Hijab
No difference they debate the sentence
Expression or oppression without Muslim presence
It's a double sided sword
Nestled in the body of a Muslim
(it's a double sided sword nestled in the body of a Muslim)
[Hook x2]
[Verse 5]
How they treat Muslims in airports is so crude
And the attitude is tattooed into our institution
Preparing us for the final solution
Human life will be the cost
When toleration is lost
You hollering you’re the boss
Well stop the holocaust
[Hook]
Nationality, religion and politics have been amalgamated
So now Arab, Islam and terrorism are equally hated
