Strange fruit I roll up in my ford taurus
|
Emissions I wont pass like Gandalf at Moria
|
Way out of order
|
Sedan with four doors
|
Pull out garage and lost side view mirror
|
My credit card final fantasy breaks the limit
|
I just paid just brakes to break my lemon
|
Wont make enough juice for my pessimism
|
So I'm not for given 'till my debts forgiven
|
Skim off the top
|
Convertible roofs
|
Thinking spanish
|
|
Green sounds like the truth
|
Got it on lock jaw to the tip o' the tooth
|
Way I floss no dental insurance to boot
|
But my chain hangs low, I could double dutch
|
Keep my eyes to the floor so don't stumble much
|
I shine at night from all the carrots
|
'Cause it's not who you are but who you're wearing
|
Stay sportin lashes from the old massa's
|
Clasps on the neck says
|
'Property of the masses'
|
And whats under the chassis
|
The block is gentrified while the governor's classic
|
Don't know who the boss is do I hold the power
|
Or am I powered like horses
|
Whip is blowin' out my back like I'm exhaust-ed
|
Pipes blowin' more fire than pentecost
|
|
Who killed o?
|
Why and what's the reason for?
|
Who starts homicidal wars?
|
Rich man poor man either or?
|
Who shows us what we knead?
|
Who's got the bread for the luxuries?
|
Who told us it's ingrained?
|
We who hold these whips and chains
|
|
If there's no lock who needs a key?
|
When did we stop being free?
|
|
I see things vis a vis a sea change
|
Full fathom five people became remains deep beneath chains
|
We pay into easing these pains
|
'Cause the history is difficult
|
Wish the results could be flipped like reciprocals
|
Allow me to renumerate aloud the typical rude awakenings of the drowsy consumer base
|
Bass boom will make the crowd sing and syncopate with the views that they're espousing
|
Synchronize to the stupid take a thousand
|
Sinning like every excuse they make is valid
|
Simon Williams I Wonder Man
|
Just how did our oil get under their sand?
|
And how did our homes get onto their land?
|
And how did our foes get guns in their hands?
|
Conflict diamonds
|
Child labor tennis shoes
|
Genocide energy
|
Gentrified gin and juice
|
Slave trade banks
|
Rape-based internet movies
|
What's a simple straight-laced human to do
|
With a strange fate twist and fame
|
Except talk shit and name off a list of gains
|
But do you realize I'd find my lips in flames
|
If I tried to take pride in these whips and chains
|
|
Who holds these
|
Who holds these
|
Who holds these traps and circuses
|
We want it
|
They own it
|
So we're going half-berserk for it
|
Let's take it
|
Let's take it
|
Let's take it back before cassettes
|
Pepsi cans and packs of percocet
|
1910 all the factory workers said
|
Yes we can demand a weekend
|
If we can get the man to weaken
|
So if you're ready than send a beacon
|
To be continued and to begin
|
We can't be content to steep in the anaesthesia
|
Invisible hands of phantoms depend on
|
Ya fantasies have been poisoned
|
But we've got the panacea!
