Welcome to Your Wedding Day (Bombastic Version) Lyrics
Well, it's another fine day of the nation built
And let's have a parade
You can dance on the graves and the bones of the children
If you know what to say
And you'll know it's begun from the beat of the drum
And the screams from the mouths of babes
And we pray as we're watching the charade
Welcome to your wedding day
And it's a damn good day
For the heart and the mind
And the party's happening here
If you'll avert your gaze from the word on the sign
Let me whisper it in your ear
Cause the sign says run x4
And you know it's begun from the crack of the guns
And the screams from the mouths of babes
And we pray as we're watching the charade
Welcome to your wedding day
Welcome to your wedding--
And we want peace
Yea we want peace
But we don't negotiate with terror
We don't negotiate with terror x6
We only watch 'em beg
And you know it's begun from the crack of the guns
And the screams from the mouths of babes
And we pray as we're watching the charade
Welcome to your wedding day
Welcome to your wedding--
And let's have a parade
You can dance on the graves and the bones of the children
If you know what to say
And the screams from the mouths of babes
And we pray as we're watching the charade
Welcome to your wedding day
For the heart and the mind
And the party's happening here
If you'll avert your gaze from the word on the sign
Let me whisper it in your ear
Cause the sign says run x4
And the screams from the mouths of babes
And we pray as we're watching the charade
Welcome to your wedding day
Welcome to your wedding--
Yea we want peace
But we don't negotiate with terror
We don't negotiate with terror x6
We only watch 'em beg
And you know it's begun from the crack of the guns
And the screams from the mouths of babes
And we pray as we're watching the charade
Welcome to your wedding day
Welcome to your wedding--

He's saying "We don't negotiate with terror" as in "we don't negotiate with terrorists." I saw somewhere saying this song was originally called "flight of the predator drones" which makes sense with that line. I don't remember where but if I find it I'll post it. But he's definetly saying "terror."
Ok great I can completely hear that now.. I just had tarot in my head and thats all I could hear... Thanks so much!

I am not certain with the word "tarot" if someone hears something different let me know..
I'm wondering if this song doesn't have anything to do with the riots in Iran. The song 'Neda' is based on those protests, so I don't think it's too much of a stretch. It does seem a little out of place in the album.
Death encompasses much of The Airborne Toxic Event's second album All At Once and this is one of two songs on the set that discusses outside involvement in the Middle East. The lyrics of this track were inspired by a report that frontman Mikel Jollett came across of a bomb that went off during a wedding in Afghanistan, killing the bride and several others.
Several others? 39 women and children and 8 more teenagers were killed when at least three bombs dropped on them by the US government on the way to a wedding.
