Story Behind The Song
We went into the studio before International Peace Day...September 21st, 2003...cut the song. Tobias extremely cool guitar solo and performance makes this song. We feel that this song version is a good demo and could be re-recorded and arranged to become a timely pop culture classic. 2018 notes and updates: I am cutting a video to the song. I take the topic seriously and hope the video will be well received.
Song Description
This song is dedicated to a gentleman who was injured in a suicide bombing. He is a friend's brother in law. He was injured badly; had both legs amputated. Since my brother in law travels a lot it is a topic close to my art.

Lyrics
Suicide Bomber - words and music ©2003 Douglas Branson ASCAP
Mailing a letter, mailing a letter,
to yourself, no one else
Sending a package, sending a package,
in the mail, without fail
Wearing a bomb now, wearing bomb now,
under your clothes, no one knows
Why would you do it, why would you do it,
you don't know, I suppose
Some of us don't understand,
what makes them bad women and men
some of us don't understand, but we all know things are getting out of hand in the world and this land...
Suicide bomber, suicide bomber, suicide bomber, suicide bomber, suicide bomber
you blew my world apart....
Now I look deep down in my heart
I just can't see why you'd hurt you or me
your filled with animosity and hostility
in this world of high technology
we can live oh so peacefully
transistors, resistors, capacitors, circuit boards, microchips, manual overload, internet providers
you and me...just like you and me, just like you and me living peacefully, no animosity
just like you and me, just like you and me, living peacefully, no hostility
Changing your tune now, changing your tune now, making a change, change of heart
changing your tune now, making a change, change of heart
solo
some of us don't understand, neither does the FBI, the CIA, or Uncle Sam.
suicide bomber, suicide bomber... 10x??
peace and love songs...(counter melody)
suicide bomber, you're a bummer
maybe peace, prayers, and love songs will save us all...
