Bringing the World Trade Center down
They come to my world selling me
Disney and McDonalds
Perverting my children
With MTV and Madonna
And the West wonders
Why do I hate them?
My son’s and daughters
Bleeding from their attack of greed
No longer believed what
I taught them to believe
No longer praying for salvation
Only Nike sneakers,
And the West wonders
Why do I hate them?
Businessmen come on my soil
Trading greenbacks for our oil
When we have no water
Very little foot
And pray to low burning lamps after dark
And the West wonders
Why do I hate them?
Western bankers seed the most greedy
Of our world with bribes
Turning father against son
Brother against brother,
So absent faith in Allah
We praise their dollars
And the West wonders
Why do I hate them?
From our humble corner of the globe,
Living in homes made of compacted sand
We watch the Twin Towers rise,
Not made of brick or mortar,
But of the souls of our sons
Each glass pane filled with glimmers
Of their lost faith,
Their fortunes stolen
Their break with our way of live
And the West Wonder
Why we needed to bring them down?
