lyrics

"This is London Post, here is a news flash:
the German radio has just announced that Hitler is Dead
I'll repeat that,
the German radio has just announced that Hitler is dead"

time to get rid of dictators,
organized states always betrayed us
I see a dark side but there aint no Darth Vader
Just some old white dudes and they dont use light sabers
they got drones servin death from above
blowing up homes, civilians disposed of
glory days faded out workin nights in and out
and we dont fund schools just wars on drugs
think rich think big think gangsta
think crook big bank slave master
think subliminal treated like criminals
colour coded justice system bust this
think pig cop really there to protect?
not to enforce a prison state of neglect?
think outside the box and its televised myths
think soul music that means to uplift!

when i think of time slippin i kinda feel helpless
the revolution's on now but im livin selfish
im living in the land where they chasing after happiness
and oops! -----We've Gone Mad!
chased it too hard now it ran away
the flute goes on like shots that spray
those who refuse to obsess over trivial things
1st world problems and what they bring
we thinkin for now we allowed to be lazy
deserve that quick fix that we be cravin
cant really protest when we sniffin daizies singin
na na na na na naaa naa! eh eh eh eh! make money money make money money n all that bull!

here we go again back from scratch lets start all over
put the guns down til we feel fully sober
fire all governments live like we know how
grow our own food make it taste so fresh
yes yes y'all its a task and a half
examine history map it out on a graph
a hundred years of industry now we feelin its wrath
and we left speechless like...mm uhmm
we waited on the day, but the day never came
we fightin religious wars like muslims in Spain
we talkin with gods now like "help us change!"
help us love one another not take'em in vain!
help us take it easy! get high like the hubble
high like the stakes after the dust settled
but i been hearing that talk for centuries!
now my blood got mixed and war's my identity!!

and bombs keep droppin
and the shots keep firing
and policemen stompin
oil wars tax funded
and the prisoners locked in
those of colour still starvin
and the government's racist
and we still complacent

Gaza'sstill hostage
West Bank's still hostage
Iraq is still hostage
Syria's still hostage
Turtle Island's hostage
forest gettin chopped down
beloved women still hurting
homophobes in power and
misogyny's so blatant
and we keep on voting
and we still complacent we just cant take it we break it!!

Burn it down! burn it down! burn it down! RA!
Come on!
Burn it down! burn it down! burn it down! RA!

and bombs keep droppin
and the shots keep firing
and policemen stompin
oil wars tax funded
and the prisoners locked in
those of colour still starvin
and the government's racist
and we still complacent

Gaza's hostage
West Bank's hostage
Iraq is hostage
Syria's hostage
Turtle Island's hostage
forest gettin chopped down
beloved women hurting
homophobes in power and
misogyny's blatant
we still complacent we BREAK IT!!
