Shoot On Sight 02:28
lyrics
buy track
Red and blue bright flashing lights Have never given me any peace of mind I don't want a one man jury Deciding that its my time "Just stay calm do what you're told Be respectful, know your role" But you don't know his badge number Let alone his death toll Unarmed minority - shoot on sight Innocent civilian - shoot on sight Homeless and handicapped - shoot on sight Begging for their lives - shoot on sight Just like black water in Iraq Megalomaniacs on the war path Find any excuse for easy prey Guilty of being poor or black Infallible fraternity Systematic lack of empathy Investigate themselves and clear all charges No accountability Unarmed minority - shoot on sight Innocent civilian - shoot on sight Homeless and handicapped - shoot on sight Begging for their lives - shoot on sight Emails and texts joking about torture Canine unit mauling, abuse, murder Citizens dying in custody And they call this law and order Shot in the back nowhere to run Executed on the ground their idea of fun 12 year old kid with a toy "I thought I saw a gun" Unarmed minority - shoot on sight Innocent civilian - shoot on sight Homeless and handicapped - shoot on sight Begging for their lives - shoot on sight

Corporate Sponsorship 02:15
lyrics

Evicted out from my home The banker says I don't belong Try my whole life to do what's right Politician says I'm what's wrong Sweat and blood for the company That gave me a respiratory disease All the tolls I cannot pay Along the gilded path I paved "I'm just following my orders Beating up the protesters" Why don't you try arresting your peers and your bosses Then move on to the ones that bought them No triumph of the American dream this is Father to son oligarchy Too big for arrest or incarceration Banks and corporations the new nations The so called free market reeks of corruption If the game is rigged is it still capitalism? The pen is mightier than the sword But we lost them both so long ago They own the discourse that's how they blind us If money talks that leaves us voiceless I want my bosses to pay taxes too Fill their accounts while they steal from you Bulldoze the ghettos to build golf courses Command personal military forces The invisible hand is under the table Cloaked in false laissez faire fables The whole world is ripe for exploitation Privatized globalization The so called free market reeks of corruption If the game is rigged is it still capitalism? The pen is mightier than the sword But we lost them both so long ago They own the discourse that's how you blind us If money talks that leaves us voiceless This is shelter from tax, this is Goldman Sachs Bank of America, this is super PACs The climate change debate congressional lobbies Penn Road in Crossett, Koch Industries When fascism comes to America It will have corporate sponsorship

Stand Up Fight Back 02:43
lyrics
buy track
The gravity is crushing Our bankrupt blood is boiling You want us to keep dreaming While our broken beds are burning Promises wont feed the hungry Opiates wont stop the bleeding Prosperity gospel praying Is as good as the poison air we're breathing The function of a government To protect the minority of opulent From the majority of citizens We're all dead peasants Stand up fight back This socioeconomic trap Stand up fight back Panama paper's idea of tax Stand up fight back Against the megalomaniacs Stand up fight back Slave masters with super PACs Predestination mechanized Representation privatized Play your part, strata confines This is your life in dollar signs Patronize misguide divide Partisan polarized disguise Their political allegiance lies With the "masters of mankind" The function of a government To protect the minority of opulent From the majority of citizens We're all dead peasants Stand up fight back Data mining and wire taps Stand up fight back News cycle amnesiacs Stand up fight back The social mores that distract Stand up fight back And the autocratic ruling class Hold their feet to the fire keep your eyes on trails of paper Don't let politicians be false banners for ALEC and bankers Power's from the top down but concent's from the the bottom up And without their foundations state houses are as good as dust Make them answer to you We are many, they are few Make them afraid of you We are many, they are few The function of a government To protect the minority of opulence From the majority of citizens We're all dead peasants Stand up fight back The forfeited social contract Stand up fight back Ideologies of plutocrats Stand up fight back We've got the numbers got the facts Stand up fight back Open your eyes counterattack
