Lyrics

Let me now turn, to our program for the future
 The economy right now, is extremely supportive of the president and his policies
 FBI scientists have found chemical traces, consistent with a bomb or a missile, on a piece of wreckage
 Police using clubs and tear gas against demonstrators
 They called me a mother-(bleeped out)-ing so-and-so... and a white fascist... like they said, 'you're getting some of your own medicine'
 Telling lies, to our children
 Telling lies, to our children
 Telling lies, to our babies
 Only truth, can take us
 You can't fool all the people all of the time
 But if you fool the right ones, then the rest will fall behind
 Tell me who's got control of your mind? your world view?
 Is it the news or the movie you're taking your girl to? (uh)
 Know what I'm sayin' cause Uncle Sam got a plan
 If you examine what they tellin' us then you will understand
 What they plantin' in the seeds of the next generation
 Feeding our children miseducation
 No one knows if there's UFO's or any life on Mars
 Or what they do when they up in the stars
 Because I don't believe a word of what the President said
 He filling our head with lies, got us hypnotised
 When he be speaking in code words about crime and poverty
 Drugs, welfare, prisons, guns and robbery
 It really means us, there's no excuse for the slander
 But what's good for the goose, is still good for the gander
 See
 I don't believe
 Bob Marley died from cancer
 31 years ago I woulda been a Panther
 They killed Huey 'cause they
 Knew he had the answer
 The views that you see in the news is propaganda
 Telling lies, to our children
 Telling lies, to our children
 Telling lies, to our babies
 Only truth
 Can take us
 I don't want no computer chip in my arm
 I don't wanna die by a nuclear bomb
 I say we all rush the pentagon, pull out guns
 And grab the intercom, my first words will be
 I believe man made god, outta ignorance and fear
 If God made man, then why the hell would he put us here?
 I thought he's supposed to be the all loving
 The same God who let Hitler put the Jews in the oven
 We don't fall for the regular shit, they try to feed us
 All this half-ass leadership, flippin' position
 They turn politician and shut the hell up and follow tradition
 For your TV screen is telling lies to your vision
 Every channel got some brainwashed cop shit to watch
 Running up in niggas cribs claiming that they heard shots
 It's a plot, but busta
 Can you tell me who's greedier?
 Big corporations, the pigs or the media?
 Sign of the times, terrorism on the rise
 Commercial airplanes, falling out the sky like flies
 Make me wonder what secrets went down with bob brown
 Who burnt churches to the ground with no evidence found?
 It's not coincidence, it's been too many studied incidents
 It coulda been the Klan who put that bomb at the Olympics
 But it probably was the FBI, deep at the call
 Cause if they make us all panic, then they can start martial law
 I don't believe
 Bob Marley died from cancer
 31 years ago I woulda been a Panther
 They killed Huey 'cause they
 Knew he had the answer
 The views that you see in the news is propaganda
 I don't believe
 Bob Marley died from cancer
 31 years ago I woulda been a Panther
 They killed Huey 'cause they
 Knew he had the answer
 The views that you see in the news is muthafuckin propaganda
 Police is telling lies fooling millions
 What are they teaching our kids in these school buildings?
 Televised, enterprised in all the killing
 Controlling our lives, this ain't living
 No this ain't living
 FBI, CIA
 ATF, KKK
 IRS, TNT
 CBS, NBC
 FBI, CIA
 ATF, KKK
 IRS, TNT
 CBS, NBC
 Telling lies, to our children
 Telling lies, to our children
 Telling lies, to our babies
 Only truth, can take us
 ♪
 Uh, we view each other uh, with uh, a great love and a great understanding
 And that we try to expand this to the general, uh, black population and also people
 Oppressed people all over the world, and, I think that uh, we differ from
 Uhmm... uh, some other groups simply because we understand the system better
 Than uh, most uh, groups understand the system, and uh, with this
 Realisation, uh, we attempt to form a strong political base based in the
 Community with the only strength that we have and that's the strength of, uh
 A potentially destructive force if we don't get freedom
