Oh-my, oh-my God!
|
In my mind they got us livin' suicide
|
Singin' oh-my, oh-my God!
|
In my mind they got us livin' genocide
|
Oh my my...
|
|
Slam bam I come unseen
|
But like gasoline you can tell I'm in the tank
|
Like money in the bank
|
I smell appealing, but I'm toxic, can send ya reeling
|
Without an inklin', keep ya thinkin'
|
'cause you gave cash to the feds, left your school district for dead
|
Fucked you up in the head, but still they sayin' nothin's wrong
|
Sellin' firewater but outlawing the bong
|
Still believing the system is workin'
|
While half of my people are still outta workin'
|
Anonymous notes left in the pockets and coats
|
Of judges and juries from 'Frisco to Jersey
|
Threats and protests politicians mob debts
|
Trumped up charges and phoney arrests
|
Stage a lethal injection, the night before the election
|
'cause he got donations from the prison guard's union
|
|
Oh-my, oh-my God!
|
In my mind they got us livin' suicide
|
Singin' oh-my, oh-my God!
|
In my mind they got us livin' genocide
|
Oh my my...
|
|
Listen in to my stethoscope on a rope
|
Internal lullabies, human cries
|
Thumps and silence, the language of violence
|
Algorithmic, cataclysmic, seismic, biorhythmic
|
You can make a life longer, but you can't save it
|
You can make a clone an then you try to enslave it?
|
Stealin' DNA samples from the onborn
|
And then you comin' after us
|
'cause we sampled a James Brown horn?
|
Scientists who's God is progress
|
A four-headed sheep is their latest project
|
The CIA runnin' like that Jones from Indiana
|
But they still won't talk about that (Jim) Jones
|
(People's Temple mass suicide) in Guyana
|
This ain't no cartoon
|
No one slips on bananas
|
Do you really think that that car killed Diana
|
Hell I shot Ronald Reagan, I shot JFK,
|
I slept with Marilyn (Monroe) she sung me happy birthday
|
Singin'
|
|
Oh-my, oh-my God!
|
In my mind they got us livin' suicide
|
Singin' oh-my, oh-my God!
|
In my mind they got us livin' genocide
|
Oh my my...
|
|
Well politicians got lipstick on the collar
|
The whole media started to holler
|
But I don't give a fuck who they screwin' in private
|
I wanna know who they screwin' in public
|
Robbin', cheatin', stealin'
|
White collar criminal
|
McDonald eatin', you deserve a beatin'
|
Send you home a weepin', with a fat bill for your
|
Caribbean weekend
|
For just about anything they can bust us
|
False advertising sayin' "halls of Justice"
|
You tellin' the youth don't be so violent
|
Then you drop bombs on every single continent
|
Mandatory minimum sentencin'
|
'cause he got caught with a pocket fulla medicine
|
Do that again another ten up in the pen
|
I feel so mad I wanna peaceful revolution
|
Singin'
|
|
Oh-my, oh-my God!
|
In my mind they got us livin' suicide
|
Singin' oh-my, oh-my God!
|
In my mind they got us livin' genocide
|
Oh my my...
