'framing' terrorism

You may be a construction worker working on a home,
You may be living in a mansion or you might live in a dome,
You might own guns and you might even own tanks,
You might be somebody's landlord, you might even own banks

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed
You're gonna have to serve somebody,
Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody.

(Bob Dylan, "Gotta Serve Somebody", 1979)

We lay our own conscience to rest.
But I'll aching,
At the view
(Portishead, "Western Eyes", 1997)
