How long do you think you can swim How long can you really stay afloat Will you drag others down with you Will you push others under the water to lift yourself up Or will you realize that there is another way From the dirt its gonna hurt Blood on my shirt flirtin with death baby best be on alert Im talking shit ill never quit He gon get hit you gon meet the abyss like you got throw in a tar pit But ive been thinking clearer been lookin in the mirror I can tell that the end has probably never been nearer I can see the enemy i can tell the time Social murder by the rich it aint no felony aint no crime This is self defense its justice in a sense Yeah innocent children dead from a minor expense I say social murder just to save a quarter I think in a hundred years there won't be no birders This is social murder class homicide They won't be satisfied until we all have died So this defense, ditch the pretense the poor didn't shoot first so let us despense With all the useless rich bastards who've been taking advantage Yeah truth is i see the truth and i can see all the damage I see the pain i see the dead From the depths an american missile will end the babies breaths An american holocaust of our design millions dead for no crime But you aint know about it yeah youve never heard Distracted by the pointless theatre of the absurd I pray for iraq i pray for afghan i pray for laos and vietnam I pray for syria i pray for china i pray for indonesia and the kurds in asia minor Five million dead in korea Death squads in guatemala from iraqi to the congo U.S murder is the mantra Cambodia brazil they kill Thailand dominica zaire it's real We take we crush we loot we steal The home of the brave is the heart of evil The land of the free looks like murder to me The land of the free made the nazis rule greece The land of the free killed the igbo with glee The land of the free made a fascist chile The land of the free more like the owners of slaves And the home of the brave has been filling mass graves Our technology and way of life is produced by the horrifying spear point exploitation that is no different from primitive accumulation during the iron age Of putting guns to people's necks and forcing them to dig minerals out of the ground under threat of annihilation This happens abstracted from the American They have no sense of responsibility Bodies hurtin minds at ease i rob the swine subvert the peace I thwart the lobbies seize the gaudy whiny dirty worms im plotting Leave some tiny inert gas inside the pentagon im gone im ghost I hope they choke i read your heart like a stethoscope I bleed for art and spite the world like a misanthrope My creed is furled inside compartments dreamlike tucked inside my brain in envelopes The future's a horrorscope best believe imma change it tho Punchin ass like an endoscope I admit i'm powerless to change what's permitted I'm unfit to lead cuz i'm hypocritted This holy writ is stolen its couterfitted But at least i'm making noise and i refuse to submit It's crazy how yall expect me to know nothing And yall want me to pretend like i cant see the crushin How i'm supposed to act like it ain't lies yall are huffin Every time i read the news i am gaslit An explosion occurs it just happens like magic Metals are not bought at the cost of labor but at the cost of someone holding a gun At no point does the american ever have to directly interact with this aspect of the system However if the american was to be placed inside the pit alongside the miners They would have no choice but to come to terms From the dirt its gonna hurt Blood on my shirt flirtin with death baby best be on alert Im talking shit ill never quit He gon get hit you gon meet the abyss like you got throw in a tar pit But ive been thinking clearer been lookin in the mirror I can tell that the end has probably never been nearer I can see the enemy i can tell the time Social murder by the rich it aint no felony aint no crime This is self defense its justice in a sense Yeah innocent children dead from a minor expense I say social murder just to save a quarter I think in a hundred years there won't be no birders This is social murder class homicide They won't be satisfied until we all have died So this defense, ditch the pretense the poor didn't shoot first so let us despense With all the useless rich bastards who've been taking advantage Yeah truth is i see the truth and i can see all the damage I see the pain i see the dead From the depths an american missile will end the babies breaths An american holocaust of our design millions dead for no crime But you aint know about it yeah youve never heard Distracted by the pointless theatre of the absurd I pray for iraq i pray for afghan i pray for laos and vietnam I pray for syria i pray for china i pray for indonesia and the kurds in asia minor Five million dead in korea Death squads in guatemala from iraqi to the congo U.S murder is the mantra Cambodia brazil they kill Thailand dominica zaire it's real We take we crush we loot we steal The home of the brave is the heart of evil The land of the free looks like murder to me The land of the free made the nazis rule greece The land of the free killed the igbo with glee The land of the free made a fascist chile The land of the free more like the owners of slaves And the home of the brave has been filling mass graves After becoming fully aware of the misery two options present themselves Either embrace the role of the man holding the gun Or revolt on behalf of the miners
