ASSATA SHAKUR
Stand against
an oppressive government
Resist attempts
to crush, to silence
Expose the weakness, expose the fraud
Show the world the evil empire
Inspire revolution, continue forward
Smash the system, oppress oppression
Eradicate racism
Power lies in hearts and minds
The truth, in time
will turn their children against them
Eroding from within
The seeds of change have sprouted
Surrounded by mountains of manure
Matured
Visions of freedom, end the enslavement
Brotherhood of humanity working together
Conquer colonialism, real revolution
No slaves, no masters, peace and freedom

Schindler's Regret

SCHINDLER'S REGRET
Shame
Erode the system
Work from within
Living in luxury
While millions are still suffering
With every product bought and sold
Another life is killed
Tortured
Conscience
Savior of the victim
Supporter of the violence
Extravagance
Death sentence
Excess
Repentant
Hiding like a coward
Afraid of those in power
Remaining silent
Unnoticed, well fed
Protecting the people who serve your interests
Supporting the evil, making excuses
It's not until it's too late
That you realize what's right

THE PENTAGON'S PEDOPHILIA PROBLEM
Twisted minds win wars
Lustful, leisure time
Stress relief through child porn
Evil lies in the hearts
of all war mongers
who kill for corporations
to control earth's resources
If you want to win
Sell your soul to Satan
It takes an evil genius
To murder for no purpose
Unrestrained
Moral decay
The truth will kill
Destabilize
We need the skills
of evil minds
Cover up the sin
Pretend it never happened
Enabling it again
Until it's an epidemic
Blind eyes
Ethically inferior to our enemies
Vile
Pigs

WILLFUL IGNORANCE
The ugly truth is hard to bare
The key to success is to remain unaware
Comfort
Pleasure
Excess
Mindless
Entertainment for the masses
drowns out desperate voices
Rape
Poverty
Inequality
Avert your eyes
Ignore disease
Justify with lies
Compromise
your humanity

MUSIC IN THE STREETS, ART ON THE WALLS
Culture influences behavior
A Useful tool for those in power
Suppression of independent expression
Too much color leads to freedom
Art can't be found in a gallery
There's no music on MTV
Capitalism and consumption
Culture is in the streets
Oppressive by design
To keep the slaves in line
They tell us music starts the fights
And art brings the crime
They bore out a hole
and package it nice
Sell you your soul
Control your life
Liberate, express
Unbind your mind, independence
Revolution, free expression
An act of defiance to celebrate existence
The language of resistance, art and music

Anarcho Syndicalism

|
|||
ANARCHO SYNDICALISM
Take control
Your life is your own
Economic depravity
Forced to wage slavery
Living in a factory
To feed a hungry family
No one cares, it's all lies
Exploiting labor, taking lives
Use you up, cast you aside
Sick and frail, left to die
Hierarchical systems are designed to oppress
Power corrupts, inequality is theft
Direct action, self management
Stand in solidarity, create community
|

Endless Growth
00:34
|
|||
ENDLESS GROWTH
Conquer all boundaries
Harvest all resources
Infinite goals
Limited planet
A destructive system
Fueled by division
Wasting our position
On economic fictions
Kill to control food and oil
To maintain the stranglehold
Larger than the market, more than we need
Create necessity, impose poverty
Consume
Sustain the greedy game
Until everything is claimed
The winner sits alone
In an uninhabitable world
|

War Is A Racket
00:58
|
|||
WAR IS A RACKET
Profiteers of misery and death
Instigating fear, manipulating conflict
Shut down all companies that profit from war
The military industry is a plague on the earth
Polluting the planet for personal profit
Drones killing children called collateral damage
No incentive to stop it
Warned, ignored
It's happened many times before
Villains, corrupted system
Funding politicians
To gain contracts
Murdering for cash
Capitalist
False premise
An environment of fear
Sell weapons
Used in mass murder
We're all complicit, they use our tax money
We buy their products and watch their movies
They expand their markets and create new problems
To sell more bombs
|
||||

WATCH THEM SUFFER AND DIE
Faux news entertainment
Hating on the immigrants
Watching babies wash ashore
Hate them even more
Hungry hoards
Fleeing wars
Invasions to control
Pipelines and oil
Instincts to kick
Afraid of the desperate
Reflexes of a guilty conscience
Ignoring consequence
Blame it on circumstance
Violating treaties
Destabilizing countries
Reich, lay claim
Sieg Heil corporate reign
Greed and hate
Turned away
Desperate to survive
Radicalized
|
||||

Economic Democracy
00:47
|
|||
ECONOMIC DEMOCRACY
Monopolize resources
Incentivize wastefulness
Force a man to be a slave
Toil for bread or beg
Corporate government
Creating debt
Fascist candidates
Serve self interest
And the sheep believe
the wolves have given
them the choice
of what's for dinner
Rule, unsustainable
Enslave the dying world
Political rights disguised
Demagogue domestic debates
Republicans want war
Democrats tax more
But the public has no control
of economic power
Change the system
Rebel reform
|

Let The Water Flow
01:11
|
|||
LET THE WATER FLOW
Capitalize
without any foresight
Necessity to survive
Not a privilege, a right
Hold all responsible
Who poison the wells
Topple the tyrants
Let the water flow
Pollution comes from corruption
Disregarding natural functions
Hoarding resources for power and wealth
Ignore the suffering of those you kill
Rudimentary tyranny
Enforced by the military
Taking everything they need
Only providing misery
Natural law
An angry mob
cant be stopped
|
||||
12. |
||||
CUT OFF THE NOSE TO SPITE THE FACE
Over reaction
Emotional state
Leave no bridge standing
Unlimited fury, unbridled hate
Solve all problems
through destruction
Barren land
Utopian vision
'
Apocalyptic
Forward thinking
Inevitable extinction
Tired of the struggle
Endless negotiation
Nuclear warfare
Annihilate the planet
Force the world to your will
Let them learn, you will kill
Twisted savior
Gifting euthanasia
Principles protected
from the threat of more dissension
Introspection overlooked
Fear flows in the darkest depths
Pain eliminated
Humacide
Projecting flaws onto those
victimized by your rage

Grind Code

|
|||
GRIND CODE
Order in the universe
Governed by rigid rules
All things must be structured
Can't have anarchy in music
Lame to claim a thing like taste
Create the way your opinion will sway
Don't hate on the shame of another's display
Challenge conventionality
We don't need more boundaries
Encourage self expression, encourage new ideas
Disregard the opinions of your ego's ideals
Keep your mind
from turning to mud
Keeping it real
ripping off the style
of another band from
twenty years ago
No
Let it go
|

Forced Positivity
00:53
|
|||
FORCED POSITIVITY
Rage
Watch the world decay more each day
Try to remain sane
Poverty and greed, the inequality
Deny people's needs, altered reality
Ignored suffering, irrationality
The glass is half empty
Maintain
A drive for change
Set the stage
We all need a reason to continue forward
Artificial light in a bottomless cavern
Shine, give all you can
Fight the insanity right to the end
Find a happy place
The weight of the world will strip life away
Hide
Find a happy place
|

SOME PEOPLE SHOULDN'T WORK
Not everyone is fit to serve
Struggle brings desperation
Human value in monetary worth
A universal basic income
Forced to work at 85
Greet at walmart to stay alive
Not even enough money to buy
Products at rock bottom price
Deny dignity
Purchasing power stimulates the economy
No one can profit from extreme poverty
Sub par labor
costs tax payers
Slowing means of production
Draining resources from the nation
Basic income would strengthen the system
The value of money is fiction
|

Profit from chaos
Incentivize soldiers
Create reasons to kill
A demand to be filled
Raping, torturing
Embolden the enemy
More conflict
Provides profit
Buy politicians, fund elections
There's no leaders they don't influence
Despicable defense contractors
Perpetuating endless wars
Giving weapons to the monsters
Foot the bill to tax payers
Lie
Playing both sides
Scam
Sell more death
Blood soaked wealth
The sickest form of prostitution
Packaged and sold as patriotism
|

17. |
Greed And Glory
00:45
|
|||
GREED AND GLORY
Thug
Manipulated through patriotism
Mindless mass from media deception
Ruling class creates desperation
Join the military to avoid starvation
Freedom
Religion
Ideals used
To conceal the truth
Murdering for corporate interests
Brainwashed to think that there's a difference
Invading countries to control oil
Fighting terrorism by bombing hospitals
Kill
Shameful
Always obey without hesitation
Never questioning authority
Believing that wars are fought for freedom
They're waged for power, greed, and glory

FEAR PROFITEER
Rewriting reality to raise viewer ratings
Self centered narrative, sensationalized rhetoric
Fueling delusions of mental degenerates
Intent to create an emotional state
Irrational fears dominate public debate
Conquered from within by the enemy we create
Victim complex
Projecting conflicts of a guilty conscience
to avoid facing the ugly consequence
Inflammatory lies
affect people's lives
Entertaining to watch
overblown hype
Influencing
Mass shootings

SUPPERMAN
There's no justice on an empty stomach
Serving supper throughout the land
Feeding every hungry human
A super hero of epic proportion
Solving problems through real solutions
Too many children sent to sleep hungry
Conflicts are solved when stomachs stop grumbling
Forced starvation
Feeds desperation
Irrational behavior
Searching for a savior
Religion,government
Any one who is providing sustenance
Terrorists, capitalists
Anything to avoid a bloated death
|
||||
20. |
||||
CAPITALISM STIFLES INNOVATION
Cease, desist
Don't resist
Suppression of medicine
Innovations defunded
Ideas shelved until margins show
Saturation, negative growth
Wasted efforts to make life easier
Manipulate to make a small few wealthier
Eliminate competition
Acquire all patents
Shut down violations
|

Conjunction Function

|
|||
CONJUNCTION FUNCTION
Food grows from fertile ground
We burn it down to build our homes
Hungry people, concrete jungle
Kill the ecosystem for capitalism
Tear up all the concrete
Let the earth breathe
Mass transportation
Modern innovation
Integrated with nature
Make the world safer
Clean air and water
The planet is a sentient being
Live in harmony with the land
it will provide everything
Suffering
comes to an end
Observe the larger purpose
You'll be at peace with the universe
|

ALL WARS ARE BANKERS WARS
Debt will enslave
Follow the money, they're funding all sides
Every opportunity to capitalize
Rely, suck countries dry
To control the world's money supply
They own our government
It could come to a halt with a flick of their pen
Pretend it's our only option
Where evil lies
you will find
The same men
behind every event
Nothing could happen
without their consent
Create more need with every tragedy
Funding the criminals, funding the police
Economic power, rule through fear
Assassinate, intimidate, smear a career
Economic fiction
Manipulation
Stop the theft
Audit the fed
Mint our own coin
Set our own interest
Everybody benefits
Shared profits
