Are you happy in this world that we've created?
Don't you see what's all around?
How 'bout you listen to my verse before you tell me that you're down
With committees commissioned
To strapping you to the ground
While you sign away your freedoms
Unaware of warning sounds
From all the angels trying to help ya'
Open up your eyes
Trying to tell of the vicious lies
They're selling you disguised
At a 'One Time Only! Low, Low Price!'
I'll be right there with 'em saying
'This shit ain't right!'
We gotta stand up for our freedoms in our father's lands
So we can put the power back in our hands
It's time to step away from the rat racing
From the fast pacing
From the drug taking
From the hypocritical bureaucratic little sheeple people in fear of extermination
I say 'FUCK 'EM!'
This placing needs a space station
So I can get out of here
How can I make this clear?
My favorite view of this planet involves a rear view mirror
'Cause I think the end is near
We gotta realize there's more to life than
Fucking
Fighting
And Fear
Where is the peace?
What about love?
What about curiosity for the heavens up above?
'Cause it's not about this planet
It's about this universe
We can't focus on the hocus pocus of a select few telling you our lives are cursed
We can't spend all our time locked inside a little box
With commercials and bad dramatizations as the essence of our thoughts
We gotta steer clear of that nonsense
Like you I've been stuck there with a false sense of security
Worriedly biting my nails
And biding my time
Fucking with females
And writing my rhymes
But now I think that I'm losing my patience
Don't think I can take this much more than I have already
We're in a downward spiral and it's churning steady
The noose is made and ready
And if we hang ourselves we're gonna go to hell
But it won't be any better than this prison cell that we're livin' in
It's time to punish the sins
Of the men behind the curtain
Why do you think they're hiding?
They know their fate is certain if we only knew the truth
So educate yourself and I'll be right there with you
'Cause I don't need no chip
America wasn't built for this
I don't need no chip
Nor does any human that will ever exist
I won't take your shit
I done told you once, now I'll tell you with fists
I won't ever quit
You're gonna have to kill me bitch
And I jest
But only a little
I wear bullet-proof vests
'Cause they protect the middle
And I know the heads the most important
But you can't be too afraid
Yeah, even when you've lost it all you can still have faith
You can survive on it
You can thrive on
You gotta strive for it
But they say nothing worth having comes easy anyway
And that statement will hold true until your dying day
So, Man Up
Don't be afraid of fear
You need to stand up
And fight for your right to do whatever the fuck you please
It's better to live on your feet than to die on your knees
And I quote
'Give me liberty, or give me death!'
A great man once said this
And my dying breath
Will exhale a line similar but not quite the same
And maybe another Joe Schmoe can forget my name
That's all I'm asking
I ain't looking for no big head
You don't have to remember the person, just remember what they said
And when they speak words that fuel a fire in your soul
Stand Up
Act Out
Do Something
Before you're too damn old
And we don't need no chip
America wasn't built for this
We don't need no chip
Nor does any human that will ever exist
We won't take your shit
We done told you once now we'll tell you with fists
We won't ever quit
You're gonna have to kill us bitch
