Hatred is not so bad when directed at injustice and evil doers
You can turn the other cheek, but don't turn the other way indifference is our biggest threat
Enemy of the planet we finally have a common cause a catalyst
A reason to forgot about our differences and stand as a united front it's up to us
To expose and humiliate the Errorists, American Errorists, we'll start with one
I know just the one, the war has just begun
