Lyrics for Contractor as interpreted by Rifton

Contractor Lyrics
Chopping lines in international sand,
feeding blood junkie habits of the elephant man
Quench his thirst with black water rising,
executive outcomes on a burning horizon
Yeah motherfucker, let's take a ride

We're rolling Route Irish, someone has got to die
Trick or treat, it's IEDs,
So roll the dice as we leave,
cuz it's eight miles of pure luck
with more bang for Sam's buck

Guaran-fucking-teed, someone will bleed
Privatize to conceal all the lies,
big business is booming like it's the Fourth of July
No need for all the formalities,

jump the kangaroo courts
and plant the lynching trees
Yeah motherfucker, let's take a ride
Running red lights in a green zone,
someone has got to die

Hidden aegis, nothing here to see,
So load the dice for me please
and let's snort the bottom line
crude cashed into refined

Guaran-fucking-teed, just sign the deed
Someone will bleed

Someone has got to die

Ours is not to reason why,
ours is but to do if the pay rate's right
Black liquid assets, fuck the mujahideen
Paint their picket fences red with the American dream
Lay the hammer down, get the job done right

Jacked up and clocked in into a fire fight
Covert reactions and you never saw me
A glass parking lot in the American dream,
they all die

This song is so fucking badass! I can't wait to hear the rest of the album! Unfortunately I'll be in boot camp when it comes out and won't hear it until this summer. :(

I already have the whole album, one of my friends torrented it and burned it to a cd for me. I must say, "Grace" is the most badass song on the album in my opinion...I'm working on trying to figure out the lyrics and post them on here...

This is wrong.

Mark Morton himself gave me the lyrics, they're as follows:

Chopping lines in international sand
Feeding blood junky habits of the elephant man
Quenching his thirst with black water rising
Executive outcomes on a burning horizon

Yeah motherfucker let's take a ride
We're rolling route irish someone has got to die
Trick or treat it's IEDs
So roll the dice as we leave
'Cause it's 8 miles of pure luck with more bang for Sam's buck

Guaran-fucking-teed
Someone will bleed
Guaran-fucking-teed
Someone will bleed

Privatize to conceal all the lies
And big business is boomin' like its the 4th of July
No need for all the formalities
Jump the kangaroo courts and plant the lynching trees

Yeah motherfucker let's take a ride
Running red lights into a green zone someone has got to die
Hidden Aegis Nothing here to see
So load the dice for me please
And let's snort the bottom line crude cashed into refined

Guaran-fucking-teed
Just sign the deed
Guaran-fucking-teed
Someone will bleed

Someone has got to die
Ours is not to reason why
Ours is but to do if the pay rate's right
Black liquid assets fuck the mujahideen
Paint their picket fences red with the American dream

Lay the hammer-hammer down get the job done right
Jacked up and clocked in into a firefight
Covert reactions and ya never saw me
A glass parking lot in the American dream
Yeah

They all die
Oh, fucking murder

Guaran-fucking-teed
Someone will bleed
Guaran-fucking-teed

Oh, lay the hammer-hammer down get the job done right
Jacked up and clocked in into a firefight
Covert reactions and ya never saw me
A glass parking lot in the American dream

reborninapathy is correct, those lyrics are wrong and he has the right ones, and this song is definitly about blackwater and other private military contracting companies and the crimes they commit

this song is so amazing. its def. my favorite off the new album. I love the lines "black liquid assets fuck the mujahideen, paint their picket fences red with the american dream." so fuckin sick.

pretty simple message. Contractors in Iraq dont give a shit about harming civs or anything else as long as they still fulfill their contract and get paid.

This song is definitely about the Blackwater private army that the U.S. government contracted out to provide "security" in Iraq. The lines "black liquid" and "black water rising" indicate this to me. There are also references to at least one of the several infamous incidents in which Blackwater contractors fired upon civilians and killed them. Read about Blackwater online and I think you'll see why Randy sounds so pissed.

Definitely a badass song, every line has meaning...and at that, what do you think "A glass parking lot in the American dream" means?

I think I got it: we see Iraq/Afghanistan as an expendable, occupiable territory used in the process of working towards our ultimate goal.

"Feeding blood junky habits of the elephant man
Quenching his thirst with black water rising
Executive outcomes on a burning horizon "

George Bush looks like an elephant with his ears
Quenching his (Bush's) thirst with black water (oil)
Bush is the top "Executive"
