Fury In The Slaughterhouse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That I sent her 12 hour horror flight
Still in a good temper till I saw the immigration queue of Atlanta
Can I see your passport please
Do you bring in any disease criminal activities
If I think it over in my ass
There's a H- Bomb
I wont rape nuns
I don't sell guns
I just came to see my baby
I'm not Slim shady
Don't wanna fuck the first lady
I just came to see my baby
Oops that was the wrong topic I mentioned
Suddenly they paid me more attention
I had to open my suitcase senseless rat race
Staring at this pigface
Got ready for the worst case
I like to shake down gents
This is a US planet
But I'm from mother Europe
And that's not the way we've planned it
And I wont bomb towers I bring love and flowers
Cause I came to see my baby
I wont kill your sons
Though they're republican cunts
I just came to see my baby
(End over here comes to the glove)
First came the glove followed by laughter
Then someone offered me the cigarette
After they showed me a sign that said no smoking
Then came the glove again not joking
The lyrics to Fury In The Slaughterhouse's song Cigarette After are an expression of the frustration and irritation experienced by the singer upon his arrival at the immigration queue of Atlanta. The singer had sent a message to his loved one in Tampa, stating that he would be coming over, but had to endure a 12-hour horror flight before being greeted with a seemingly endless queue of immigration demands at Atlanta.
As the singer approaches the immigration officer, he is asked to produce his passport and answer a series of questions about his criminal activities and the possibility of carrying diseases. The questioning of the immigration officer makes the singer anxious, and he starts referring to an "H-Bomb" in his ass. The lyrics here could be interpreted as a reference to the fear and anxiety that travelers may experience when going through an airport or sea/land/air port security check, particularly if they have previous criminal records or belong to a minority group.
As the questioning continues, the singer tries to convince the immigration officer that he has no intention of doing anything wrong. He seems to make a self-deprecating and sarcastic statement in the line "Oops! That was the wrong topic I mentioned, suddenly they paid me more attention," which gives us a glimpse into how his conversation is heading south.
The song lyrics become more humorous afterwards, as the singer makes a series of self-explanatory and ridiculous statements such as "I like to shake down gents, this is a US planet, but I'm from mother Europe, and that's not the way we've planned it” and “I won't rape nuns, I don't sell guns, I just came to see my baby." The latter phrase that constitutes the chorus of the song, further emphasizes the fact that in spite of everything, the singer's sole purpose of coming into the country was to see his baby.
Overall, the lyrics of Cigarette After take a satirical and ironic stance on the exaggerated security measures, bureaucracy and red tape at airports that can lead to frustration, intimidation, and inconvenience to travelers.

Staring at this pigface
The officer scrutinized me with a contemptuous expression
Got ready for the worst case

I like to shake down gents
I enjoy frisking men
This is a US planet
The US rules over the world
But I'm from mother Europe
However, I originate from Europe
And that's not the way we've planned it
It was not intended to have such an imbalance of power
I wont bomb towers I bring love and flowers
I have no intention of committing any violent acts, instead opting for a peaceful approach
I wont kill your sons, Though they're republican cunts
Despite disagreeing with their political opinions, I have no interest in harming anyone's children
I just came to see my baby
My only objective is to reunite with my significant other
First came the glove followed by laughter
The officials first searched me using gloves and then chuckled
Then someone offered me the cigarette
A person approached me to offer a cigarette
After they showed me a sign that said no smoking
I was informed through a sign that smoking was prohibited
Then came the glove again not joking
The officials searched me again, and this time it was not a laughing matter
