Kennedy

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Jehst] Foul play, fair game How many steps on this staircase? Reaping the fruit of my labour days Somewhere it all went pear-shaped No free time, I can't spare change Fast food for thought, shit for brains You can point the finger and shift the blame If I'm gonna die tomorrow I wanna live today If we living on time borrowed why give it away? Give my life to the bottle I piss it away In a primitive and pitiful way Pitfalls pivotal to the position I play Put me on a pedestal in this particular case Tryna write true love on a polygamist's page Protect your queen in this critical game And sacrifice your pawns for political gain Political gang Unseen hand, that might pull the pistol and spray Let us bow down to masonic symbols and pray Till we're playing on the Glastonbury pyramid stage [Verse 2: Confucius MC] Don't look back Front, make sure you look careful for that love you want Keep seeking I'm a Rambo at peace-keeping As I [?] through this country I'm knee-deep in the so shallow Kids left out in the wild but you can see a deep truth in the eyes of a child Surrounded by miles of the Nile The killer walks free But we can put a style on trial It's the age of the lawful killing, the courts are chilling Programme a RoboCop enforce the mission [?] With the darkest shadow to sort your vision So we close our eyes and dream But never can explain where our minds have been So we close our eyes and dream But still feel everything that our minds have seen We're hassle [?] willing to believe While so many guys so willing to deceive They say that we was once swinging from the trees Now we're in the yard, billing up cheese That's quiet evolution Some don't make it the quiet execution Now that's quiet evolution But some don't make it the quiet execution [Outro, Iggy Pop] It is my own personal view having lived through it that in America The Beatles replaced our assassinated president Kennedy, who represented our hopes for a certain kind of society. Didn't get there. And The Stones replaced our assassinated folk music which our own leaders suppressed for cultural, racial, and financial reasons. It wasn't okay with everybody to be Kennedy or Muddy Waters, but those messages could be accepted if they came through white entertainers from the parent culture. That's why they're still around
