What Do We Get?

|

|
WHAT DO WE GET?
Police violence and overcrowding prisons
We're funding a system against our own interests
Racism, genocide, segregation, divide
Struggle for justice, struggle to survive
Our taxes pay for war
Used to decimate the poor
Power protects the powerful
The powerful exploit the people
Privatize public assets
needs and wealth
Polluting everything that's left
Economic theft
Medicine that kills us
Overdose and addictions
Arresting parents
who cure their children's seizures
Subsidizing inequality
Propping up a failed economy
|
||||
2. |
Lynch The Shareholders
00:33
|
|||
|
LYNCH THE SHAREHOLDERS
Go straight for the throat
There's no point in reform
Hold the shareholders responsible
for their company's horrors
Make them repay with penalties
the money they "earn" from corrupt companies
Shut down Wall St, regulate trading
Transactions transparent, light up what's shady
No one gets rich quick, no wealthy elite
No way to steal, no ability to cheat
Investment should be a public service
but it's used to exploit workers
|
||||
3. |
||||
|
MANIPULATION OF THE LABOR MARKET
Interest rates are set
to create more debt
There must be unemployment
for the markets to function
A competitive labor force keeps wages down
Full employment makes unions strong
Forgiving debt betrays the nature of wealth
providing incentive to keep things unequal
There's no job security when unemployment exists
To help the economy would hurt the rich
Their parents learned to keep power in check
But their children have grown to be spoiled brats
The same families have run
financial institutions
It's a well thought out scheme
the perfection of slavery
Begging the masters
for the privilege to serve
|
||||

I Wanna Break Your Toys
00:42
|
|||
|
I WANNA BREAK YOUR TOYS
Disgrace
Your life is a waste
Shitting on heads from your lofty cloud
I'll whip up the wind and bring you back down
Inherited comfort
A life of luxury
Privileged entitlement
Genocide, slavery, ill-gotten money
You have too much but its never enough
I don't want what you have, I want you to feel loss
To act with compassion and express some remorse
Acknowledge the struggle of the people displaced
|
||||
5. |
Why There Is Poverty
00:34
|
|||
|
WHY THERE IS POVERTY
Wealth is theft
Death
Poverty exists because of the rich
Resources denied, the land can't be owned
You have to pay taxes to live in your home
There's only so much to go around
Police and military keep people down
When a handful of people own the whole country
it leaves a lot less opportunities
Designed to provide cheap labor
Feed the starving by taxing the workers
Using their money for bonuses, subsidies
greed and corporate welfare
|
||||
6. |
Ban Nukes
00:42
|
|||
|
BAN NUKES
Nuclear proliferation
Mutually assured destruction
More nations construct them
causing more to feel threatened
Toxic to make, pollution stored
Won't be safe for a thousand years
Their existence is a threat to humanity
We have other technology to wipe out whole countries
Accidental detonation
Threat to all nations
It's only by chance
it hasn't happened in the past
All life extinguished
from the push of a button
A computer malfunction
can wipe away civilization
Placed around the globe
makes us all vulnerable
Disarmament, set the example, be bold
Nuclear weapons are irrational
|
||||
7. |
Can You Hate Your Hero
00:37
|
|||
|
CAN YOU HATE YOUR HERO?
Are you brave enough to find
what's in your hero's mind
Explore their thought and feelings
regrets and insecurities
To stop with all the worship
and acknowledge the human
Flawed, troubled, abusive
No one is ever perfect
Life is too confusing
There's too much social conflict
The lesson isn't to hate you hero
but to acknowledge the greatness we all can do
It's easy to point our fingers and judge
It's much harder to live with the truth
The good and evil in us all
Expose our flaws
Who we've harmed
Look upon the damage done
Perpetuation of social disease
Propping up people is idolatry
|
||||
8. |
Empires Fall
00:46
|
|||
|
EMPIRES FALL
Power structures corrode, erode
When corruption becomes normal it's exposed
Guard let down, vulnerable
Theft institutionalized
eats the spine from within
The more thats claimed
the more to protect
Losing support from it's base
Frowned upon with disgrace
The anger of those displaced
The fraud and waste
Nothing but contempt
from years of neglect
No one respects
the establishment
Cover ups and scandals
Nothing to believe in
Embezzling public resources
Using police forces
to lock people in prison
A cruel system
Endless wars for no purpose
Creating enemies of patriots
Systemic inequality
grows larger and more obvious
Snatch and grab all you can
Loot the land
before the system's collapse
|

The News Lies
00:44
|
|||
|
THE NEWS LIES
A commercial enterprise of financial empires
Money decides the content required
Plagiarized stories, sensationalized gossip
Ignorant opinions at full volume
Plastic people with no passion
Regurgitate the stories written for them
Facts manipulated
Poor excuse for reporting
Manipulate stories to stoke emotions
Screaming and yelling get higher ratings
Foreign policy from a talking point sheet
The pentagon can't have press too free
An uninformed democracy
Stories always skewed
for corporate world views
Invent the facts
Symbolic gesture to retract
|
||||
10. |
Do Not Fight Their Wars
00:37
|
|||
|
DO NOT FIGHT THEIR WARS
Destroy/eliminate economic competition
Secure the empire for the greater good of our nation
The military serves corrupt corporations
Destabilize hearts and minds
Radicalize, flight or fight
Their promises are lies
They don't care who lives or dies
They just want control
of resources and gold
Invading sovereign countries is not democracy
Kidnap and torture, force people to be free
Fighting for dishonor
Defending the corruption
Securing more wealth and power
for corporate dominance
|
||||
11. |
||||
|
ABOLISH THE SUPREME COURT
Highest authority, royalty
Concede, a threat to democracy
Appointed, anointed, lifetime of employment
Political puppet, corrupt
Tools of partisan slander, pander
Used as an abuse of power
Fear enslaves the cowards
Thwart the will of the people
Make corporations equal
Dictating legislation
Rulers of the nation
Reinterpret the constitution
A bloodless coup, a silent revolution
|
||||
12. |
||||
|
CORPORATE PROFITS COME FROM INCOME TAX
Subsidies and bailouts
Shareholders demand a profit
while homeowners default
Kids in debt, trying to get ahead
find it difficult to make the life their parents had
Slash safety nets for the poor
Giving the wealthy even more
The wealthy elite own the country
Won't pay taxes but demand subsidies
Downsize and exploit employees
Raise executive salaries
Their wealth is theft, It's not honest pay
Financial firms are fraud, their profits are fake
Investment should be a public service
A quick return is fraudulent
Corporate collusion controls the market
The sharks attack the weakest
They don't care about the long run
|
||||
13. |
Arrest, Convict, Profit
00:48
|
|||
|
ARREST, CONVICT, PROFIT
Dysfunctional system
For profit prisons
Incentivize arrests
Opportunities and kickbacks
for a harsher sentance
Putting children in harms way
To keep society safe
Crime pays
prisons, judges, and police departments
Creating crime to keep a quota
Fudging numbers, falsifying data
Instigate issues, demonize suspects
The masters need their slaves
More profits, less complaints
Housed and fed by tax payers
The cheapest available labor
A first world country needs a competitive economy
Authoritarian regime, a booming industry
Exploit the hated
Punishment
Perversion of justice
Government
No concern for others
Profit from slave labor
|
||||
14. |
||||
|
THE OIL CARTELS KNOWINGLY DESTROYED THE PLANET
Promoting fossil fuels that destroy the world
Eliminate and suppress alternative technologies
Colluding with industry to keep oil necessary
Scientific studies to value the damage
Information kept from the public
Ignoring climate change
Denying any claims
Discrediting facts
Collecting bonus checks
Poison the water, pollute the air
Pumping out products that give us cancer
|
||||
15. |
Media Monopolies
00:49
|
|||
|
MEDIA MONOPOLIES
All of the major U.S. media outlets
are owned by a few corporations
Controlling narratives, limiting access
Promoting pro-capitalist stances
Cover-up systemic fraud
Silence movements across the board
Manipulation
False information
No accountability, no oversight
Content is dictated by what the market decides
Promoting wars, inflating conflict
Emotions stoked by empty rhetoric
No dissent is given voice
Control context to discredit
Information replaced with entertainment
and propaganda, corporate and government
dictating stories to the associated press
An uninformed public can not be free
Media monopolies are anti-democracy
|

Lolita Express
00:38
|
|||
|
LOLITA EXPRESS
The fantasies of the spoiled
is the playtime of the powerful
Pimping out abducted girls
from all over the world
Billionaires, business men
Presidents and candidates
come from conservative countries
fulfilling fantasies
Raping young girls
Doing all they please
Away from prying eyes
wives, public judgement
political opponents, and enemy spies
Deny any knowledge
The time conveniently forgotten
There were no accomplices
Bargain for lenience
Pay off the victims
Fly back to the island
|

Butthole Patrol
00:37
|
|||
|
BUTTHOLE PATROL
Power is a disease
People aren't your property
Your existence is tyranny
Protecting the wealth of the elite
Manipulated for organized theft
Tools of the greedy and corrupt
Used to suppress
justice for the mass
License to kill
Molest movement at your will
Security is valued over liberty
Incarcerate the country
|
||||
18. |
Decriminalize
00:45
|
|||
|
DECRIMINALIZE
No homes should be raided
No arrests should be made
No people imprisoned for a social disease
Outlawing medicine and preventing independence
Gives all our power to cartels and corporations
The wealthy have the best
The poor have no access
Prohibition creates black markets
Unchecked power, competing economies
Funding our enemies
Destroying our credibility
The world is aware, the scam is exposed
The fraudulent drug war is to maintain control
Discredit dissension
Disenfranchised population
Giving your power to corrupt organizations
is tearing apart families and imprisoning the nation
|

THE MURDEROUS HISTORY OF SWEETS
Killing, enslaving, dominating resources
Destroying populations, polluting ecosystems
Wars and famine for sugar production
A global monopoly of three companies
control the sugar slave plantations
For the delights of wealthy nations
Suppressing unions, oppressing workers
Exploiting the labor of the conquered
The price of sweets is the blood of children
Granting exorbitant wealth and power to evil men
Suppress science to push a product that kills millions
Powerful lobby spending lots of money
Getting government subsidies
Contracts and kickbacks
But they refuse to feed their employees
|
||||
20. |
Corporate Oligarchy
00:29
|
|||
|
CORPORATE OLIGARCHY
Rig elections
Conflict of interest
No regard for the public
Corporate controlled, fascist government
Capitalism is a threat to democracy
The corporations make economic policy
Equal representation
always leads to socialism
Control public thought
Politicians have been bought
Making record profits
as the world rots
Limiting choice, preventing progress
No public service, no other options
|
||||
21. |
US Concentration Camps
00:39
|
|||
|
U.S. CONCENTRATION CAMPS
Confined to a life
of poverty, struggle, and strife
Lies to conquer the land
Disarm, destroy, imprison
Forced to concentration camps
Only escape
is to assimilate
Culture is destroyed through economic strangulation
Kidnapping children for reeducation
Demanding submission to colonialism
Your comfort comes from taking other's lives
|
||||
22. |
||||

EVERYONE IS GETTING CANCER
Pollution from refineries
pumping out pcb's
Car exhaust and chemicals
Oil-wells on high schools
The pills you abuse
The beauty products you use
The sun, the air
The dye in your hair
Cellophane and packaging
Dangerous chemicals in everything
Forgotten dump sites, nuclear testing
Water polluted from hydraulic fracking
Power lines, radiation
Our furniture and toilette paper
Pesticides and processed foods
Children's toys and airplane glue
Everything the empire sells us
is poison to our systems
