The media site said the lyrics went as followed:

"Kill those f---ing Yankees who have been torturing Iraqi captives/Kill those f---ing Yankees who ordered them to torture/Kill their daughters, mothers, daughters-in-law and fathers/Kill them all slowly and painfully."

The 2004 concert according to Hollywood Reporter was in protest against the killing of Kim Sun-il, a South Korean missionary and translator how was beheaded in Iraq by militants. Sun-il was murdered after the South Korean government proceeded with plans to send 3,000 additional troops to the country, CNN reports.

"The song in question-from eight years ago-was part of a deeply emotional reaction to the war in Iraq...I will forever be sorry for any pain I have caused anyone by those words." The singer went on to say, "I hope American soldiers and all Americans can accept my apology."
