What Comes Around Goes Around

What goes around comes around

That's a time-tested fact

That's true in Afghanistan

And it's true in Iraq

You may have threw the first fist

But will you throw the last?

Cuz you shot first

Now they're shooting back

What goes around comes around

Cuz you propped up Saddam

Now it's U.S. soldiers getting hit with improvised bombs

It's not the Baathists, not Al Qaida

It's working people's hands

Planting the seeds of your destruction

What goes around comes around

A time-tested fact

That was true in Afghanistan

And that's true in Iraq

You may have threw the first fist

But will you throw the last?

Cuz you shot first

Now they're shooting back

What goes around comes around

Cuz you prowled from pole to pole

Destroying everything you touched

For labor, land and gold

In the Santa Maria or the Enola Gay

You got rich because other people paid

What goes around comes around

Cuz you can't erase your past

You made your wealth from Slavery

It's still socially intact

But builders can break down everything they've built

And you can rest assured that one day they will

What goes around comes around

A time-tested fact

That's true in Afghanistan

And that's true in Iraq

You may have threw the first fist

But will you throw the last?

Cuz you shot first

Now they're shooting back

What goes around comes around

And it stings when it hits

And your in too deep

To not sink with the ship

Ain't no excuses to pardon you

This world is what you've made it

Your bred this hate now gonna have to face it

What goes around comes around

In such a burst of time

Now the world you tried to conquer
