A Terrorist Is A Terrorist Though with a high powered rifle in his hands he suddenly feels empoweredA terrorist is a terrorist and he'll always be a cowardHe places a bomb under a car and he quietly slinks awayDamn the likes of Al Qaeda and H.A.M.A.S. and damn the I.R.A.

A bomb goes off on a busy street and a young girl loses a handHow can you say sorry 'twas not meant for you when she would not understandThat you did this for your God and Country is beyond you to explainWhen the blameless innocents have to suffer years of agony and pain.

For his crimes against humanity the perpetrator has to payAnd that one man's terrorist is another's freedom fighter I don't see it that wayWhen Alfred Nobel who discovered gelignite came to realizeOf it's destructive Nature he donated the Nobel Prize.

That one man's terrorist is another's freedom fighter I can't say I agreeFor a terrorist is a terrorist that's how 'twould seem to meWith a high powered rifle or a bomb he suddenly feels empoweredBut a terrorist is a terrorist and he'll always be a coward.
