Nervous Triggers - Bricks & Mortars Lyrics

How does it feel to kill someone you never knew
Because someone in your government tells you to?
How does it feel as you launch those shells?
Does it feel like you've sent an enemy to hell?

And now they'll call on me to unleash that deadly payload
They'll expect me to watch as the mortars explode
Without wondering just how many I've killed
Well I'd rather use the mortar that builds

And the streets of Kabul are burning tonight
And the streets of Fallujah are burning tonight
Yeah the streets of Baghdad are burning tonight
The streets of the Middle East are burning tonight with...

Bricks and mortars
(Bricks and mortars)
Bricks and mortars
(Bricks and mortars)
Bricks and mortars
(Bricks and mortars)
Bricks and mortars and American martyrs

You put a brick in my hand, well ain't this a thrill?
We'll smash a storefront window for every innocent killed
Our righteous anger as the bombs fall
Is just so romantic for us all
But now the war comes home as police line the blocks
Plastic shields and teargas clash with citizens' sticks and rocks
As black lives are taken and their killers fear no guilt
We'll need all the bricks that we can get to see our cities rebuilt

And the streets of New York are burning tonight
The streets of Baltimore are burning tonight
The streets of Ferguson are burning tonight
The streets of American are burning tonight with...

Bricks and mortars
(Bricks and mortars)
Bricks and mortars
(Bricks and mortars)
Bricks and mortars
(Bricks and mortars)
Bricks and mortars and American martyrs
Bricks and mortars and American martyrs

Bricks and mortars and American martyrs
Bricks and mortars and American martyrs
Bricks and mortars and American martyrs
