The Forword

ad I don't have to tell you things are bad
 Everybody knows things are bad
 The dollar buys a nickel's worth
 Banks are going bust
 Shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter
 Punks are running wild in the street
 But there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do
 And there's no end to it
 We know
 The air is unfit to breathe
 And our food is unfit to eat
 We sit watching our TVs
 While some local newscaster tells us
 That today we had fifteen homicides
 And sixty-three violent crimes
 As if that's the way it's supposed to be
 We all know things are bad
 Worse than bad
 They're crazy
 It's like everything everywhere is going crazy
 So we don't go out any more
 We sit in the house
 And slowly the world we're living in is getting smaller
 And all we say is
 "Please at least leave us alone in our living rooms
 Let me have my toaster and my TV
 And my steel-belted radials
 And I won't say anything
 Just leave us alone"
 Well, I'm not going to leave you alone
 I want you to get mad!
 I don't want you to protest
 I don't want you to riot
 I don't want you to write to your Congressman
 Because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write
 All I know is that first
 You've got to get mad
 You've gotta say
 "I'm a human being, goddammit, my life has value!"
 This is your new world order
 The intent evil
 Stack bodies, stack bills
 Steal power from the people
 This is the orchestra of war
 Apocalyptic prequel
 Halliburton stay murking
 Skull and Bones, keep it legal
 We be underground
 Firing f**king rounds back, lethal
 Put the vinyl to the needle
 let them hear them desert eagles
 'Cause these suckers that have been hypnotize
 Don't see the news like we do
 Stop the others making mockeries of god
 Them mind's feeble
 If the government wanna go and act a fool
 Then let them know that my head gonna pack a fool
 From the slums to the dirt, they get ya all the way
 To the truth walked in one afternoon
 Republican nor democrat
 Neither one will pay
 'Cause the bank owns the government
 We all some f**king slaves
 This shit is wild and urgent
 You smell that fire burning?
 Nothing to be concerned with
 The era of diversion
 Fox news and W are f**king Halliburton
 Nothing to be concerned with
 The era of diversion
 FEMA, fuck Katrina
 Yeah, that's for certain
 Nothing to be concerned with
 The era of diversion
 These old merchants
 They are working with the man behind the curtain
 You should be concerned with
 The era of diversion
