Two towers fall down
Beng Beng Cocktail Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is the story of our lives running away to escape all these lies
Our souls are burning when we see the medias trying to feed our eyes
With all these pictures we can't recognize
Stabbing all of use with fake knives don't you see? Consumption is on the rise

CHORUS:
Two towers fall down, you say terrorism
Thousand soldiers in Iraq, you say errorism

You fight for god and believe in Catholicism
Is it not just a way to enhance racism
You fight for petroleum and believe in globalisation
Is it not just a way to enhance egoism?

Draw your line, don't turst the lines in the newspapers that's just lies
Draw your line, do trust your mind
All this shit can never be mine, the bullshit
You try to underline is written down to control my mind
Mental manipulation, is daily news a new religion
You are hiding your corrective action behind a wall of illusion
Customised through the remote control people can select their religion





CHORUS x 2
