Diplomatic Immunity
Warped Realities Unveiled: Napalm Death's Message of Deceit and Power
Lyrics
... And so it comes to pass
Introduction to the unfolding events or consequences
With a shrug of the shoulders
Indifference or disregard expressed through a shrug of the shoulders
A washing of the hands
A symbolic act of distancing or avoiding responsibility
It was war through lies on demand
War waged through deception and false narratives
Work to live to fund their egos
People working to sustain their own lives while indirectly supporting destructive egos
With bombs and shaky claims
Using bombs and dubious justifications
Make the cowboy killer's day
Encouraging violence, possibly a reference to a trigger-happy individual
Take one life and your's will cease
If you take a life, your own life will end
He'll take thousands (in the) name of "peace"
Perpetrator taking thousands of lives in the name of a distorted notion of "peace"
Selective memory and distorted words
Highlighting the use of selective memory and manipulation of words
The methods of the untouchable
Describing the methods employed by those considered untouchable or beyond reproach
Struts away and dusts off his gun
Perpetrator confidently walks away and readies for further aggression
To cast more net on his "axis of evil"
Expanding influence and aggression against an "axis of evil"
Make the cowboy killer's cay
Encouraging the cowboy killer's actions, possibly referencing a specific archetype
Prays on all your lethargy
The cowboy killer preys on people's indifference or apathy
Knows you'll turn the other cheek
Anticipating a passive response, expecting people to ignore or tolerate injustice
