I don't have to tell you things are bad, everybody knows things are
Bad. The dollar buys a nickel's worth, banks are going bust
Shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter, punks are running wild in
The street, and there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do
And there's no end to it. We know the air is unfit to breathe and our
Food is unfit to eat. And we sit watching our TVs while some local
Newscaster tells us that today we had 15 homicides and 63 violent
Crimes, as if that's the way it's supposed to be. We know things
Are bad, worse than bad, they're crazy. It's like everything
Everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go out anymore. We sit in
The house, and slowly the world we're living in is getting smaller
And all we say is, "Please, at least leave us alone in our living
Rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials
And I won't say anything. Just leave us alone." Well, I'm not
Gonna leave you alone. I want you to get mad. I don't want you
To protest, I don't want you to riot, I don't want you to write
To your congressman because I wouldn't know what to tell you to
Write. All I know is that first you've got to get mad. You've
Got to say, "I'm a human being, goddamn it. My life has value."
This is your new world order, the intent evil
Stack bodies, stack bills, steal power from the people
This the orchestra of war, apocalyptic prequel
Halliburton stay murking, Skull and Bones keep it legal
We be underground, fire fucking rounds back lethal
Put the vinyl to the needle, let them hear them Desert Eagles
'Cause these suckers have been hypnotized
Don't see the news like we do
Story of us making mockeries of God, the mind's feeble
If the government wanna go and act a fool
Then let 'em know that my hip gonna pack a tool
From the slums of the dirty ghetto
All the way to the 2-1-5th, murder capital
Republican or Democrat, neither one will pay
'Cause the bank owns the government, and y'all some fucking slaves
This shit is wild and urgent
You smell that fire burning?
Nothing to be concerned with
The era of diversion
Fox News and W
Are fucking Halliburton
Nothing to be concerned with
The era of diversion
FEMA, fuck Katrina
Yeah, that's for certain
Nothing to be concerned with
The era of diversion
These oil merchants, they are working
With the man behind the curtain
You should be concerned with
The era of diversion
Bad. The dollar buys a nickel's worth, banks are going bust
