Kill The Billionaires

KILL THE BILLIONAIRES:
Round them all up and take them down
It's plain unhealthy to leave them around
They breed disease and kill the trees,
pollute the air, make it hard to breathe
How many could you feed instead of luxuries?
Fancy cars and bigger homes leave them alone
Disconnected from the mass, arrogant to think you can
Surrounded by an echo chamber, everyone loves your flavor
Compliments, singing praises but, you're being manipulated
Only contempt for humanity, altered perception of reality
Community can't be bought and sold, no one likes a rich asshole
Glorified by monuments, cover up worthless existence
|
||||
2. |

CORPORATIONS AREN'T YOUR FRIENDS:
They're not your friends to lend a helping hand
They don't care about you, they're psychopaths
No concern for what is sold
as long as it's pofitable
Wealth is the single purpose
There is no pride for a product
Eaten alive by another
acquisition, merger
Take the foundation to decorate the top
Without a base, the pyramid will collapse
There must be continuous growth to survive
No one can ever be satisfied
Discomfort is the key to a robust economy
Keep consumers always wanting, keep people unhappy
The world is conquered, ripe for the plucking
Reality is commercial advertising
Denying people their basic needs
To facilitate corporate greed
Reliance on their products
Decadent, caustic
Create conditions for poverty
Leave the mess for us to clean
Mean
|

There's No Justice
00:45
|
|||
|
THERE IS NO JUSTICE (there's just us):
I don't believe in justice its a concept full of lies
Rehabilitation not retribution, teach people to live right
Justice can't be served unless the crime's reversed
Ignoring the behavior perpetuates the perverse
Forced incarceration, beaten to submission
Does little to protect the lives of the innocent
The cure, the cause
Failure
Self respect, common sense
An emotional and intellectual connection
A tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye
will leave us all toothless and blind

Who Should Own The Air?

|

|
WHO SHOULD OWN THE AIR?
Water, land, health care
Who should own the air?
Will we learn to share?

CRUSTFUND:
Live, learn, travel
Don't sit at home
Go find friends on the road
Build your brain
Hop a train
No adventures in the suburbs
There's a world full of wonders
Leave behind parental comforts
Discover color unencumbered
Free from social pressure
Life is an adventure
Whatever gives you pleasure
Remember to write a letter
Must dust the rust, adjust the disgust
Distrust flushed
|

CNN Is Fox For Democrats
01:00
|
|||
|
CNN IS FOX FOR DEMOCRATS:
Sneering, contemptuous, sensationalized
Resized to advertise, capitalize off the other side
Brunette instead of blonde similarly carry on
Manipulation of feelings and emotion
Can I just get the facts without having a stroke
Avoid the root issues, network news is a joke
Never find solutions, always pointing fingers
Just more noise pollution drowning out deep thinkers
Subject to their advertisers
Spewing corporate fertilizer
Spin the story to smear the enemy
Leave me feeling like I need therapy
|

As One
00:24
|
|||
|
AS ONE:
We are all on this planet together
We have to take care of each other
A disease in one is a disease to us all
Ignoring the individual will make us all ill
|
||||
8. |
Enough Stuff
00:30
|
|||
|
ENOUGH STUFF:
Competitive, greedy
superficial, petty
Vengeful, jealous
murderous, war mongers
Mainstream culture is disgusting
I feel nothing
|
||||
9. |
Normalized Stupidity
00:36
|
|||
|
NORMALIZED STUPIDITY:
No reason to ban a book if no one wants to read one
Saturated with information, reduced to passivity and egoism
The truth drowned in a sea of irrelevance
Focus attention on the pink elephants
|
||||
10. |
Redline
00:43
|
|||
|
REDLINE:
The source of our division
is rooted in housing discrimination
Denied the resources to build a life
Scorned and cast aside
A constant struggle to survive
Devalued, excluded, disqualified
Implicit bias and jim crow racism
Created a system of segregation
From the way property is appraised
To the amount of interest that's paid
Discriminatory policies still in place
Approving loans based on race
|
||||
11. |
Capital Punishment
01:01
|
|||
|
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT:
A pretty word for revenge
Systemic dysfunction plagued with corruption
Moral confusion
Policy of punishment, revenge relabeled justice
No value for life, just a thirst for blood
Age of incandescent enlightenment
Kill the innocent along with the guilty
State sanctioned murder through the death penalty
Selling our soul to maintain control
No evidence of deterrence
|
||||
12. |
Muted Screams
00:07
|
|||
|
MUTED SCREAMS:
Through muted screams I hear your pain
|
||||
13. |
||||
|
BORN BETWEEN PISS AND SHIT:
The purity of innocence
Dissonance
The struggle for survival
Maternal instincts
Without parental love, we wouldn't exist
Why does all the hate continue to persist
Those left behind, all the stones that we've bled
Filled with regret from the damage we left
|
||||
14. |
Outside The Paradox
00:58
|
|||
|
OUTSIDE THE PARADOX:
Don't ignore who we are, perfect and flawed
Buddha and Hitler, a paradox
Life and death, disease and cure
All are one, capable of love and harm
Face the mirror, face the horror
The illusion is the adventure
All the pain we feel, only love is real
|
||||
15. |

WE DON'T NEED A PRESIDENT:
Waste of space, waste of money
People laugh but, it's not funny
The president's a piece of shit
Nothing new, dealing with it
Circus clowns getting loud
Idiot with itchy fingers drooling on the button
Anyone could do the job
Scandals and corruption, we're better off without them
Too much power
A frightful future
Starting wars for businessmen
Killing in the name of greed
Above the law, world leader
It's just a show, the presidents a pathetic joke
Everything's controlled
by those more powerful
|
||||
16. |
How Did We Get Here?
00:58
|
|||
|
HOW DID WE GET HERE?
Ignore the pain, look away, you can have all the cake
Positive it's all okay, continuously celebrate
Stifle progress for a profit
Technologies shelved, forgotten
Obsolescence ignored
Cheaper materials and unskilled labor
Community service is an economic threat
Build more freeways pull up train tracks
Ignore the past, disregard the future
A blind existence, completely futile
Decimate forests, murdering people
making the world miserable
Financial forces manipulate evil
to create systems more profitable
Marketing weapons to competitive governments
Unwinnable race that ends in destruction
|
||||
17. |
Canceled
01:19
|
|||
|
CANCELED:
Condemned by words, not by deeds
Violence remains but the language will change
Exploit the poor for corporate greed
Rename the game, shift blame to shame
Forced to resign for a poor choice of words
Celebrated for the atrocities of war
Publicly Lynch every rude bastard
Systemic injustice largely ignored
A distraction to shift attention
Finger pointing without reflection
Dissection, no room for redemption
Pretentious perfection, ruin reputations
Focus on the issues at hand
and stop trying to find the boogie man
People are starving and wars are raging
There are much worse things than uncouth language
|
||||
18. |
Corporate Crime
00:33
|
|||
|
CORPORATE CRIME:
Wall Street bailouts
while small business fails
Work related deaths
Product defects
Preventable problems in hospitals
Untested pharmaceuticals
Disease from air pollution
kills more than street crime
|
||||
19. |
Revenge
01:34
|
|||
|
REVENGE
Punishment for pleasure
Addictions and fetish
Positron emission tomography, mapping brain activity
Measuring blood flow, injecting fluids in the blood stream
Observe, study of revenge, passion, irrational behavior
Activated dorsal striatum produces satisfaction
Scan, higher activation
Human societies are an anomaly
Detailed division of labor and cooperation,
genetically unrelated
Bind
Motivation to maintain the line
through time, benefits the hive
Altruistic punishment-
societal function to survive
Prefrontal cortex to protect self interests
Rational decisions
Unrestrained revenge is a drug in your mind
Addictive, pleasure derived
|
||||
20. |
Open Borders
00:38
|
|||
|
OPEN BORDERS:
Cruel, usual
The freedom to move prevented by weapons
A military presence targeting women and children
Is the point to inflict trauma?
Mission accomplished
Terrorize those fleeing the affects of our failed foreign policies
|
||||
21. |
Conspiracy
01:02
|
|||
|
CONSPIRACY:
Circumstantial connections
Lacking facts
Hypotheticals presented as truth
Distorting reality
Lies
Plagiarize smarter minds
Fear used for financial gain
Enslaver
Debilitate and spread distrust
Destabilize and undermine
A useful tool to control
Manipulate distrust
False messiah
Pronouncing judgement on faceless enemies
defined by individual interpretation
Used as a political weapon
Inflated ego, christ complex
Dividing us as we ignore the evil in us all
|
||||
22. |
The Prosecution Rests
01:01
|
|||
|
THE PROSECUTION RESTS:
Perpetuation of crimes,
-decried by the religion you fervently embrace
Fall short, judged by the standards of your own beliefs
False witness for structural, social, financial advancement
Kick out the foundation of society to gain upward mobility
As sick and vile as those who you condemn
Self righteous in your position
Truth is the perception of popular opinion
Manipulation
Predetermined conclusions
Justice is truly blind
|
||||
23. |
Pushers
01:07
|
|||
|
PUSHERS:
Exploit Necessity
Profit from disease
Lives lost to cut costs
At the mercy of your greed,
desires, dreams, impulse
Ignore
Blame the system
Deny your role
Perpetuate the dysfunction
Vile
Indifferent, sufferings natural
Opportunity, capitalize
Playing god with others lives
Dead inside, cold and callous
Fraud, cure and cause
In virus we trust
Falsify, substandard science
Sell your soul
Profit from human experimentation
Justified as saving lives
Pushers
