Anti-Flag - It Went Off Like a Bomb Lyrics

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

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 scum f*cks kill for fame
We erase their names

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

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

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
