'Blowback' is the CIA term for the unintended consequences of secret operations.
Or when the monsters you have created like Saddam or Osama no longer serve
your interests and start to bite you.
And September 11th was the biggest blowback of all....
Step back from the Blowback
Plans that were hatched with the strings still attatched
See there's always a catch
When you're living through a blow back
You were wondring why you needed places to hide
keep one eye on the sky when you're living through a blow back
Sink into the mud watch out for the scud
Cos oil is thicker than blood in the world of blow back
From ally to madman from client to badman
From Gommorah to Saddam staring in the blow back
Invisible Sins Invisible Kings
The shit we're gonna drown in the spin
Permanent warfare Burning up welfare
Add up add up their share of the hardware
Roghts disposed of Government gloves off
Flick of the wrist Summary Justice
Feel the kiss of the US fist
Hollywood Hollywodd tinsel this
Fanning the flames of fanatical fervour
One bad turn always deserves another
Covert and subvert and secret operation
Still suffering the consequences of active inaction
Tunnelling through mountaisn buildings networks of caves
$40 billion dollars for 40,000 graves
Collateral damage and friendly fire
Talking the talk of the undercover empire
(live and direct from the undercover empire)
Whats the price of engagement
Whats the price of containment
Can we come to an arrangement
Make a buck off the blow back
Wathc the pipeline and the oil show
Its McWorld and fries to go
Starring in the blow back
One-sided triangle squarin' the circle
Pentagonal diagonal Caught out in the blow back
STEP BACK FROM THE BLOW BACK
Control now we have air superiority
Their only plane was the one we sold them last week
As leaflets food parcels explode into nails
Bush chokes on a pretzel and Clinton exhales
Sayin Cool Down India Cool Down Pakistan
Here comes your new billion dollar air squadron
Laying down a pipline through Kazakstan
The ends the broadcast live from ABSURDISTAN
Live and direct from London, Absurdistan
