[Verse 1]
I’m writing up this lyrical whirlwind, do you hear me now?
Am I so loud that I can tear the entire building down?
Or do I have to keep screaming to make you people hear me
To help all of you ignorant folks that run from our dead society
I’m not gonna put up with it anymore, I’m tired of the lies
I’m sick of all the nonsense, and of all the drowned out cries
Come on, people, we need to take a stand against these corporations
Dismantling the very foundation upon which we’ve built our nation
I’m beginning to see the edge nearing us, it’s about to collapse
And what’s the government gonna blame? Accidental mishaps
Democrats and republicans fighting over who’s views are better
While evil businessmen lie back together like birds of a feather
[Hook]
We’re all members of the international fool coalition
We’re all being herded into a whole moral prohibition
While we sit back and tell ourselves everything is peachy
When in reality money is placed so high it’s out of reach, see?
You’re all blinded by the light of an impossible existence
Shone from ten thousand cigars smoked by corporate big wigs
Donald Trump has you fooled, and Ted Cruz isn’t in your favor
Hillary Clinton can’t make magic, and Bernie Sanders isn’t your savior
[Verse 2]
I hate making rhymes about politics, but this year we need to change
Because almost every single person running for '16 is deranged
Three of them are puppets, and the last one is too extreme
Even if his ideals are good, people fear a whole regime
Change, from what the Republican party has planned for us all
I bet that in the near future somebody’s gonna frame him for assault
Like they did with Bill, Cosby, not Hillary’s husband
One was a childhood wonder, the other a dime a dozen
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
Can you not see that you’re brainwashed, that you’re stuck in a box?
Can’t you tell we’re at war with the globe, not just Jordan or Iraq?
Islam isn’t a terror cell, and immigrants aren’t the problem
The real issue lies within borders, so why we tryin’a stop them?
They want peaceful lives just as bad as we do, stupid bigots
Why do you think they’re coming to us? Yet we make them fidget
Pat Pedro or Mohammed down now, bet you’ll find nothing unusual
But if you’re a bigot ‘round ‘em, someone’s gonna say, “uh, ‘scuse you”
Look, I’m not trying to start something, but let me be perfectly clear
I’m here to tip you people off, like I’m cleaning a spear
We have to make sure we kill this where it stands, dead in its tracks
This whole twisted carcass of evil, or else we gotta watch our backs
So remember this rhythm and rhyme while you’re driving your car
In your home, den, study, or bathroom, play it wherever you are
Just remember that we have a mission that we cannot abort
I just chose lyricism to tackle problems like this and the sort
