My whole family tree Has got nothing to eat The machine guns guard the checkpoints from starving refugees So when I stop to pray For the fifth time today Still see my sister Alma With a hole in her skull As the tanks pulled away Radicalized! Radicalized! Radical lies! Radical lies! I’m so surprised my mind’s a tug-o-war Radicalized! Radicalized! Radical lies! Radical lies! It’s no surprise my mind’s not mine no more Can’t afford no dream With a G.E.D Recruiter shook my brother’s hand, now he’s all he can be

I’m so surprised my mind’s a tug-o-war Radicalized! Radicalized! Radical lies! Radical lies! It’s no surprise my mind’s not mine no more Radicalized! Radicalized! Radical lies! Radical lies! I’m so surprised my mind’s a tug-o-war Radicalized! Radicalized! Radical lies! Radical lies! It’s no surprise my mind’s not mine no more
