Look how the ruts cling to my footsteps. The fatal invisible tool, by which we define. We fight for our approval. And fear our removal from the safety of fools.
Your children are shooting up society. 'cause you made money making killing a commodity. at war on tv from a faraway field. a timebomb generation. the nation's fate is sealed.
They say we live like this. and so we die like this. nothing will change. but for the same. if we don't resist. . the greed from the start. the hate in our hearts.
This Is America yeah it's true. but everything else is false. that was taught to. me and you. but. I try to sort it out. I'll try to sort it out. with you.
Hear the preachers from the pulpits of power spin the lies. They sell give the youth our rage inna society built on. Distraction holy material excess strengthen the bars on our cage.
When they broke down the door. and put their guns in the face of your wife and child. and as they pinned you to the floor. did you say "officer, i am not resisting you."?.
The preachers from the pulpits of power. leaders of cloth. they preach to our empty pockets. and the same gang with different colors. plays up to the dialect.
Which lie is the one. that will take me. and which war. Generations of wage slave data. family stories they said don't matter. when the last breath burns.
Where are your heroes. underground?. do our egos block us out. from feeding the future. of this sound?. where were you. when they passed out. the lotteries of birt?.
Theres no music,. no confetti,. crowds don't cheer and. bells don't ring.. But' you'll know it,. I can guarantee, when the right one comes along.. . What they're thinkin,.
This is the moment when we choose to stand upright and direct. set the course of our vision : new spirit in the flesh. we see the rich man's law dem break the poor man's back again.
sister. I won't let you go. I won't let them take you. into the silence of a past divided. brother. keep teaching the power. we only move together. away from the past that made us fall apart.
Bleak world forming now,. for inside it grows. Live it down, live it down. . Crystal clear on my mind. Sharing smiles with the tide. . Weighed down by nature's road.
Take the banner. Hang it upside down. this country's in distress. from the schools to the factories. on the dead edge of town. this dream's a fucking mess.
Dark Stars of unknowing. draw me into the night. Velvet swirls of crippled stars. emit into the void. . Take me to a new high. I want to lose my mind.
Standing there across the room. You're heading towards the door. Tripping on my words. I make my way across the floor. . I steal your hand and ask you.
We are fighting a war. Here we come now living in a new age. Where the roles are set to tear us apart. Here we come now fighting for a living wage. . It's time. The pleas from the politicians to the poor.
This is a call. to wake. the sleeping army. dreaming for. end the fear. in our hearts. for the last time. . a shared vision. love's transmission through.
The government say that its what we need. to work until we die serving someone else's greed. they separate divide but its the same red blood we bleed.
