Halal Hysteria
[intro | sweet but mocking delivery | clean electric guitar | low energy | sudden stop] Peace be upon you… But that don’t sell papers, does it?! [drop] [verse | sarcastic biting delivery | palm-muted power chords, driving bass | medium energy | rhythmic bounce] She wore a hijab to school — Headline: “Sharia in the suburbs!” He prayed five times a day — Caption: “Terror sleeper alert!” Brown skin, wrong bin, Must be a threat within — The cameras click, The headlines spin! [pre-chorus | building anger, vocal fry | fast snare build, rising guitar screech | building energy | build-up] From “refugee” to “rapist” in a single line, Your ignorance don’t age like wine. You sell fear on a silver tray, Five columns deep in yesterday! [chorus | aggressive shouting belt | explosive wall of distorted guitars, crash cymbals | maximum energy | raw anger] Halal hysteria, every headline’s scarier! Shout “Allah” loud, and they’ll drag ya to the gallows! Preach tolerance but don’t mean it at the barrio — Fake news prophets with truth that’s borrowed! Halal hysteria, fueled by Wikipedia! Worship bombs more than they worship God! Got Islamophobia in a Gucci façade — And every brown face’s a lightning rod! [verse | fast aggressive punk delivery | heavy bass and drums, stabbing guitars | high energy | breathless] They fear the beard, not the man, Quote Bin Laden, never the Qur’an. Halal meat? Oh no — “invasion!” Meanwhile, your kid’s in a vape fixation! They say “She’s oppressed!” While she’s passing their dumbass tests. Freedom of speech? Only if you’re white and blessed! [bridge | overlapping mocking voices | dissonant guitar feedback, slow heavy tom beat | medium energy | chaotic breakdown] “Breaking: Possible links to radicalism.” “They refused to shake hands — cultural hostility?” “We need to take our country back.” “Too many kebab shops.” [spoken | sarcastic newsreader voice] Tonight at nine: Is your neighbor a moderate, or a ticking time bomb? Find out after this KFC ad! [build-up] [chorus | unhinged screaming belt | frantic punk instrumentation | maximum energy | gang vocals] Halal hysteria, facts in hysterectomy! Every veil’s a threat, every mosque an enemy! Sell your fear in morning shows and panels, While profiting off war in foreign channels! Halal hysteria, faith as a felony! They bombed the truth and called it integrity! Xenophobia’s got a sponsor now, And it’s smiling through a suit and bow! [bridge | cold cynical delivery | heavy solitary bassline | low energy | dark tension] You fear the prayer, not the sin, Build walls outside, but rot within. They said, “Be afraid — they are not like us.” But hate wears a tie, and rides the bus. Peace be upon you… But that don't sell papers, does it? [drop] [outro | rapid-fire aggressive chanting | building speed, fast punk drum beat | building to maximum energy | crescendo] Katie Hopkins called them "cockroaches," full of spite, Now she’s banned from Twitter — serves her right! Piers Morgan raged when girls wore scarves, But not when priests left lifelong scars! Pauline Hanson in a burqa stunt, Made Parliament a racist front! Donald Trump, with the Muslim ban, Tore families apart ‘cause he “had a plan”! The Daily Mail, with its sneering tone, Turned prayer mats into danger zones! Fox News cried "Sharia law!" While ignoring every Christian flaw! Boris Johnson, with his "letterbox" jibe, Stirred up hate to boost his tribe! The Sun ran "Muslim thugs" on page one, But prints no retractions when the lies are done! Nigel Farage fans the flame, Then hides his hands to dodge the blame! France bans veils in the name of grace, But cloaks its racism in “secular space”! Tommy Robinson, loud and proud, Built a brand on a bigot crowd! Peter Dutton said "illiterate" and "no-go zones," While refugees sat in tents and moaned! Sky News Aus made facts blur, Where “Muslim” means “murderer”! [outro | breathless cold whisper | single ringing heavy distorted chord | low energy | sudden stop] So next time you preach about peace and pride, Check the fear you’ve helped supply. Not every bomb is born of prayer… But every hate crime starts somewhere.
