(Verse) 2000 years of successful exploitation of other nations. A generation of agitation waiting to explode… My current mental occupation. Is that they stopped up the commode Where do we go? When America rode through With this heavy load of nuclear pie ala mode? People are dead upon the road. A product of hate sewed. Age-old story told. Now the black gold Got billfold’s Uncontrolled. Livin’ in a bubble. Planets in trouble. All I see is ash and rubble. A world of 3.5 billion used to be doubled. No bees bumble, the towers crumble. The seas rumble. I heard this cat mumble Unintelligently at me. Wanted to get free I tried to show him what he couldn’t see. A life above the canopy. Man, it could be Nice to be free. Sippin’ tea with three cats that barely look like me. (Chorus) Can you see… These fences have shattered The Love in Me. Walls thrown up. We’re blinded by genuine apathy. (Verse) Livin’ in a realm surrounded by barbwire and painted borders. Imaginary lines drawn from headquarters of those that hate the unknown, yet they give orders. Lock you up for the homegrown.. Leave me alone Mr. Policeman. I like to have people over to mi casa I ain’t part of no Taliban. No son of Sam. Ain’t in ridin’ around here in a minivan No nine clickin’ in my hand. Entangled in your web of lies. Walk to your face Rip down the disguise With a pair of pliers. Do not admire Your whole attire your desire to set fires? While politicking’ liers They conspire… 1984 knockin’ at door and you’re a slave to the chores of your brave corporate wars. Til’ there’s pavement on the shore Only til’ Lion of Zion roars. Adjustin’ the final scores. (Chorus)
