Blackwater

Blackwater shooting in the dead of night, take your smoking guns and say goodbye
Wasted lives, you were making money as their blood fell from the sky

Blackwater shooting in the dead of night, occupiers bring the world such misery
Wasted lives, you were making money as their blood fell from the sky

Blackwater sky
Blackwater sky, into a fight where Mohammed cries

Blackwater sky
Blackwater sky, into a fight where Mohammed cries

Blackwater shooting in the dead of night, take your smoking guns and say goodbye
Wasted lives, you were making money as their blood fell from the sky

You were making money as their blood fell from the sky
You were making money as their blood fell from the sky
