Non-lethal Weapons Lyrics - Singles - Behind Enemy Lines

With the United States and other first world powers 

stepping up their efforts at globalization 

One of their biggest obstacles has proven to be 

the conscience resistance from the civilian population 

Governments are closely working together with industry 

utilizing the latest in "non-lethal" weaponry 

Cracking down on dissent with domestic policing 

"Learning from the riots of the 1990's" 

Identifying these so-called threats with political profiling 

Targeting the organizers of political movements 

under the guise of protecting the civilian populace 

Public relations propaganda fuels these political witch-hunts 

Demonizing protesters as violent terrorists 

Allowing more repression and torture of the non-combatant 

The lie that protesters causing violence is the actual threat 

is beat into the heads of the American public 

Neutralize the threat 

Eliminate the threat 

Neutralize the threat 

Eliminate 

The pentagon and the D.O.D. are using "non-lethal" munitions 

for social control and American corporate global domination 

Inciting violence with riot control agents 

Civilizing the brutality that protesting now warrants 

but where's the civility in unrestrained brutality 

Those killed by "non-lethal" weapons aren't any less dead 

and the murderers who are responsible aren't any less accountable 

be it politicians, businessmen or the soldiers in their stead 

Neutralize the threat 

Eliminate the threat 

Neutralize the threat 

Eliminate 

If they don't ever have to answer for what they do 

then they're free to make an example out of you 

with their chemicals agents, vortex weapons 

hallucinogens, pulse lasers, optical munitions 

Weapons that induce confusion, stupor and coma 

or debilitate your central nervous system 

Cause nausea, bowel spasms, paralysis, seizure 

heat your skin to an unbearable temperature 

Burning, crippling, deforming, killing 

immobilizing, disabling, incapacitating, 

All committed over a safety net of legality 

but masking the language to conceal the lethality
