Contractor Lyrics

Stomping lines in international sand,
Feeding blood drinking habits of the Elephant Man.
Quench his thirst, when black water rises
He takes you around toward the burning horizon

Yeah, motherfucker, lets take a ride,
We're rollin' round irate, someone has got to die
Trick or Treat, in dying need
So roll the dice as we leave,
Cause it's 8 miles of pure luck with warm bags of

Guaran-fucking-teed,
Someone will bleed.
Guaran-fucking-teed,
Someone will bleed.

Privatize to conceal all the lies,
Big Business is booming, like its the fourth of July.
No need for all the formalities, Jump the kangaroo corpse,
And flank beneath the trees.

Yeah, motherfucker, lets take a ride,
Running red lights in a green zone,
Someone has got to die.
(Pity me?) there's nothing here to see,
So throw the dice for me please, and let's
Store the pint of blood to cash in to refund

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 your heavy hammer down,
Get the job done right.
Jacked up, and cocked in, to a firefight.
Covert reactions said you never saw me.
A glass parking lot in the American Dream.
Yeah.

They all die.
Fucking Murder.

Guaran-fucking-teed, Someone will bleed.
Lay your heavy hammer down,
Get the job done right.
Jacked up, and cocked in, to a firefight.
Covert reactions said you never saw me.
A glass parking lot in the American Dream.

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

Song Meaning

awesome song, new album is sweet

Cover art for Contractor lyrics by Lamb of God

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

My Interpretation

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.

Cover art for Contractor lyrics by Lamb of God

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.
