"We are ISIS. We are ISIS," the singers declare. "We milk the goat even if it is male."

They continue: "We strive for jihad and sex. We are comfortable and happy to see blood. We have no knowledge in our brains. ... We scare women and children. … And our brains are upside-down. Our hope is to kill; that's why we have no future."
