Mistaken for Terrorists Lyrics


Condemned for not looking like you

It makes no difference where they’re from or in what they believe

The blame falls directly on them

For the actions of madmen, they’ve been falsely labeled

By bigotry, victimized for a different creed

The color of their skin finds them guilty of sin

While innocent people die, provocateurs know the reason why

And the cattle can’t but help to find there’s something to believe in

Mistake them for terrorists

And while the mass shootings don’t stop, you demonize foreigners

Ignoring the sick fucks committing more hate crimes

They pay on this day, they can’t get away from the violence

Committed by your kind, committed

By iniquity, victims of brutality

The color of their skin binds their will to begin retribution

While innocent people die, provocateurs know the reason why

And the cattle can’t but help to find there’s something to believe in

Mistake them for terrorists

Nothing will change, only more hate

False acts of progress followed by complacency

Disenfranchised, nobody cared

When it happened to you then suddenly it matters

Another time, another psycho

This time he gets stopped by a man who was packing

Police show up and on sight open fire

They killed the wrong guy, the shooter still lives, one more injustice

Mistaken for terrorists

And no the mass shootings won’t stop, stop blaming the wrong ones

Ignoring the sick fucks who shouldn’t have had guns

Enough is enough, but still you wont act

You rather a scapegoat than to face the facts

And the fact of the matter is that you are guilty

Complicit, enabling this bloodshed

The real killers are getting away with it

While you look the wrong way

There is no solace, more injustice

Mistake them for terrorists
