It Went Off Like a Bomb lyrics
by Anti-Flag
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 1]
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 sc*m f*cks kill for fame
We erase their names
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
