This Is A Collective

Lyrics

[Intro] "It's obvious we belong on tour, you know- You know that stuff about [?] [?] Yeah What about the album?" [Verse 1] What have we got to do to make something positive happen? Consolidated's getting in your face again Advocating a new responsability : Help the youth into the 90's For the youth, the future is now I'm asking you to think about things you never thought about Like define the term "democracy" Identify the hypocrisy In your life at all different levels If you question things, you might get in trouble But that should never be your concern Without questionning authority, you never learn We don't tell you to flex or perpetrate Our prime directive, inform and educate Consolidated is a collective Always accessible, never isolated Don't be intimidated by the pressure and the hate We never said you had to assimilate We're just a group, but you can make an impact You can't sit there and be passive, you got to act [Chorus] What is this? This is a collective Right! No static This is a collective No static This is a collective No static, democratic This is a collective No static This is a collective [Verse 2] In the 90's, the youth face a difficult choice I'm not here to hear the sound of my own voice You need faith in government but not this one Equality implies equality for everyone You gotta recognize the fundamental breakdowns In many of the state's institutions [Bridge] Since the concepts of self-worth and family are so foreign to these kids, we've got to reconstruct entirely their systems of support in the hopes of hopefully averting any further violence or victimization [Chorus] Yes! No static This is a collective No static This is a- this is a- this is a collective [Verse 3] Questionning everything you thought was right and wrong You know, this is just a motivational song For the kids that listen to our music But if you wanna make a change, put your records away Get your friends in the game We're running full court press for the whole game Now it's time to take the iniative You can do this together if you wanna give [?] Yeah [Chorus] Right! No static This is a collective No static This is a collective No static, democratic This is a collective No static This is a collective Collective in our reasoning, no static This is a collective Collective in our actions, democratic This is a collective No static This is a collective No static, democratic This is a collective Yes! No static, democratic This is a collective No static This is a collective
