Lamb of God - Contractor Lyrics

Chopping lines in international sand
Feeding blood junky habits of the elephant man
Quenching his thirst with black water rising
Executive outcomes on a burning horizon

Yeah, motherfucker let's take a ride
We're rolling route Irish, someone's got to die
Trick or treat, it's IED's so roll the dice for me, please
'Cause it's near 8 miles of pure luck with more bang for Sam's buck

Guaran-fucking-teed, someone will bleed
Guaran-fucking-teed, someone will bleed

Privatize to conceal all the lies
Big business is boomin' like it's the 4th of July
No need for all the formalities
Jump the kangaroo courts and plant the lynching trees

Yeah, motherfucker let's take a ride
Running red lights into a green zone, someone's got to die
Hidden Aegis, nothing here to see, so load the dice for me, please
And let's snort the bottom line crude cashed into refined

Guaran-fucking-teed, just sign the deed
Guaran-fucking-teed, someone will bleed

Someone has got to die

Ours is not to reason why
Ours is but to do if the pay rate's right
Black liquid assets fuck the Mujaheddin
Paint their picket fences red with the American dream

Lay the hammer, hammer down, get the job done right
Jacked up and clocked in into a fire fight
Covert reactions and you never saw me
A glass parking lot in the American dream, yeah

They all die
Oh, fucking murder

Guaran-fucking-teed, someone will bleed
Guaran-fucking-teed

Oh, lay the hammer, hammer down, get the job done right
Jacked up and clocked in into a fire fight
Covert reactions and you never saw me
A glass parking lot in the American dream

  "Ours is not to reason why
  Ours is but to do if the pay rate's right" is a allusion to "Charge of the Light Brigade" by Lord Tennyson. He is highlighting the difference between real soldiers and mercenaries.

  Who really cares what the freakin song means its a good song i dont care if its about hitmen or government contractors who freakin cares just listen to the song and either you like it or not. not everything is about the middle eastern war people.

  Yeah, its pretty much about government contractors, hence the name..... They run around Iraq and Afghanistan getting away with things that us soldiers would get life in prison for nowadays..... It is very original and as nothing to do with the soldiers just the protected contractors, the destructive out of control civilians that their company hides after they fuck shit up, and the U.S. military takes the hit for it...... Propaganda is a crazy thing..

  Be not deceived, God will not be mocked, for whatever a man sows, that will he also reap. He who sows to the flesh, shall of the flesh reap destruction. He who sows to the spirit, shall of the spirit reap life everlasting.
