	Story Behind the Song Eric Robert Rudolph, home grown terrorist, alleged bomber of abortion clinic and Atlanta olympics, hid out in North Carolina: all on his own? Bin Laden--he hasn't been caught--obviously, he has supporters. Have American bombs always been justified or have we committed or sponsored terrorism ourselves? How about the corruption global corporations support? Terror takes many forms and wears many hats... Lyrics If Only… ©Paul Epstein, 2003 Eric Robert Rudolph might be a hero to someone For hiding from the law so long Being anti-gay or anti abortion. Bin Laden has sympathizers by the thousands round the world Some folks will follow anyone Who thumbs his nose at our flag unfurled. Terror takes many forms and wears many hats Wielded by powerless pawns and autocrats Zealots preachin’ hatred on the street Lies are easy to swallow when you’ve nothin’ to eat. If only love was all we need If food and health were free If freedom was a guarantee They’d be talkin’ to a wall We’ve had politicians who lied about the things they’d done Like Nixon bombing Cambodia, Clinton’s games and the Contra’s guns We’ve supported murderers, turned a blind eye to genocide When they stood against so-called enemies Or we feared the loss of our boys’ lives. Terror takes many forms and wears many hats Product of politics and bureaucrats Global corporations fueled by greed Paying for the silence of the ruling elite If only love was all we need If food and health were free If freedom was a guarantee They’d be talkin’ to a wall
