LYRICS

Verse 1
Stop, listen, and embrace the silence,
'cos soon the streets will be swimming in violence,
take a seat, 'cos my words will leave your nerves unsettled,
shake you to the core and leave your joints rattled.
You're probably gonna laugh at what I'm talkin' about,
'cos you can't decipher the lies that the government spouts,
they say we're fighting for freedom over on foreign soil,
but when you look at the facts, we're trading blood for oil.
You know I wont support a system that needs war to survive,
and now the banks have caused an economic suicide,
'cos they don't care and have no lower class in sight,
the greed's crawled into their minds, just like a parasite.
Instead of spending money on improving healthcare,
it's wasted on drugs war and nuclear warfare, 'cos like a dog,
the system answers to a call and through the mind of a politician,
I see it all.

Verse 2
Yo, bass kick it on the one on my stereo,
you know the government controls what's in the radio,
I see the look in your eyes, are you surprised to see a
graveyard downtown dedicated to homicide.
Another blunt, I'm burning 'em up like paper,
I know the law's coming to look for me sooner or later,
no time to rest though, the feds are here to arrest ya,
'cos you've been smoking the herbs to get you through the cancer.
They'll come in the night and take you from your plastic bed,
and in the cold they'll hold a gun to your head,
you know they'll always deny the benefits hemps can bring,
'cos then they're losing money on selling artificial heroin.
To some life's just a game but in our world it's a war,
raise your fists to resist, or you'll soon be living behind bars,
the system though, it still answers to a call
and through the mind of a politician, I see it all.
