It Went Off Like A Bomb - Anti-Flag

And it went off like a bomb

Incinerating, unforgiving, gone

No recovery, no pretending

Collision course, it’s just a wreck

Shock and awe, no turning back

Nothing left to say or be done

It went off like a bomb

In the dark, in a place where no one sleeps

In the veins of extremist war

There’s a message in the words that they speak

There’s an action that they’re calling for

They make hallow all the shallow

Accidents of birth and reign

Zealot scum fucks kill for fame

We erase their names

And it went off like a bomb

Incinerating, unforgiving, gone

No recovery, no pretending

Collision course, it’s just a wreck

Shock and awe, no turning back

Nothing left to say or be done

It went off like a bomb

Dog whistles endlessly

Storm troopers in the wings

Gin up the devotees

Certain they’re under siege

Division sewn to yield a firestorm

Another product of the new norm

You think you’re safe?

It won’t be too long

Until it all goes wrong

And it went off like a bomb

Incinerating, unforgiving, gone

No recovery, no pretending

Collision course, it’s just a wreck

Shock and awe, no turning back

Nothing left to say or be done

It went off like a bomb

Yeah, it went off like a bomb

Yeah, it went off like a bomb
