Free Up the World
While fucked up police are roaming the streets
We need to take action
And assemble a faction
Of smart intelligent blacks
And smart intelligent whites
And everybody in between so
We can make this world right
‘cuz we’re on the same side here we gotta
Stop hurting each other
The only thing worth killing for is nothing
So throw that idea down the gutter
We send out money to the government but where is it going?
Foreign wars instead feeding the poor,
Instead of making jobs for all the crooks and slobs
So folks can finally walk into the ghetto without being robbed.
If I was the president I’d clean up the streets
And I’d use tax-money and pay bums to do it so
They’d finally have something to eat
And I’d end this fucking war on
Brutality, hate, and greed
I’d fix our schools, amend the rules
Fuck the prison system we gotta free up the world!
I’d send inspectors to remove WMDs from Kuwait and Iraq
Then I’d send them to China, then I’d send them back
And they’d remove all that shit from our own country, plus worse
The only way we can stop making bombs is if we stop making bombs first.
My philosophy on American Democracy is: hypocrisy!
It’s robbery, take away my benefits I’m sick of it, it’s full of shit
We must be menacing, or pirates of delinquency, but not as bad as
Robbers of the industries
It confuses me, all I wanted is equality so follow me and look at
Lives not as nice as yours: always a holiday
If you want fantasy read a book but turn it off, your fifty-inch television
It’s embarrassing, with the idiocy of the people, if we don’t think
How can we ever expect to get free?
Tapping phone lines, what do you hope to find?
See in my kind of government, there would be no oppression and here’s a lesson:
There would be no war, no hate, feeling great, fuck your mate
Everything’s so bad now that love’s at stake!
Bombs filled with hammers breaking hearts, ending lives,
Why would I bring a child into this world born to die?
Marching in unison to the end of the earth, it doesn’t even matter
Radiation prevents all kinds of birth
But we’re already mutants, just take a look at ourselves
While we’re fighting and killing and self destructing ourselves!
But we’re heartless heart-stoppers, brainless but hard-rockers
So stoned that pollution doesn’t even matter!
So wake up and use your ability to take responsibility
For yourself and the earth, ‘cuz if you don’t there is nobody else
My closing statement is a statement of love
Love yourself, love the earth, stay healthy...
Trees are oscillating and ovulating while genetic research is blossoming
But I’m barfing instead of copulating I’m coughing up globs from all this smog
Due to capitalist, careless hogs
And I’m drinking eggnog and I’m stuck in this fog with
SUVs, STDs, Doe Ray Mees, Hazys, crazies, babies, ladies fly to Europe to get a
Genuine leather coat made from a cow’s dick, it makes me sick, I’m serious
And when kids get beer-less they get delirious and furious and
I’m just curious as to what makes us tick
I’m on the brink of yelling out “what the fuck?” but I hope we’re not out of luck
Take my lungs, fill them with gasoline, replace my heart with gears and
Turn me into a machine.
If you open the world to your hatred, fucking break it and rape it
Will you ever be able to start thinking about saving it?
We made this dirt and this grime driving around all the time
Throw away the keys to your car, people you know who you are
Because I want to be able to breathe deeply tomorrow
All these lazy-ass bitches bathing in all of their riches making deadly emissions
Chlorofluorocarbons are harming my skin that I need for this life that I lead
So destructive it’s nice.
