Radicalized from Payola by Desaparecidos

My whole family tree has got nothing to eat
The machine guns guard the checkpoint
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
So when his team's Humvee hit the I.E.D.
Me and my mother we cried
in our new double wide
Around the Christmas tree

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

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
