[Intro: Sample] (Listen to my voice) [Verse 1: Seed MC] Its limbs are things in your fridge and in your cupboard Its fingers printed in the crops and in the suburbs Its blood powers up the stereo you bounce to Big brother got a cover in my lounge room But I ain't buyin' that, I'm runnin' to water where the Screams of horror and the trauma, they are bubblin' away In the pages of our history, they suffocate Waitin' for some bloody rebel to resuscitate Who's pounding with two fists on the armour plate Of a system of which we all participate in And I really think the system needs some vеntilation And maybe a few changes in lеgislation Sometimes I just wanna click and change stations Sometimes I just wanna sit and stay sedated But then it flips, and I'm quick to reclaim it 'Cause if I don't, then for sure I'm done wasted [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2: Joelistics] Gimme something that is real, something I can feel Something unsullied by money's mass appeal Something unexplained, something I can't name Something not manufactured in a store chain Gimme something that is free, something I don't need Something inbetween my dreams and cold reality I got a case of the gimme gimme nows I got a taste, don't water it down Gimme something unadulterated, something genuine Something not defined by if it's yours or if it's mine Something uncontained, something for the pain Something for these questions that test my brain Give me something so rare, something like a prayer Something that can counteract this feeling of despair I know this world is a sick and sad sorry sight I know it's run by rich white religious types And my head is heavy spinning like the world does Sick of all my people being doped up on their drugs World leaders come across like war thugs They fight a battle; cannon fodder; it's your sons I speak with the power of four lungs, it's awesome They make a killing, yo, they're making a fortune And common sense has been abandoned and issued a handgun At random, the bullets will fly I still have a vision that the people will rise And take back the power and control of their pride 'Cause in these times, what it seems to me To sit and do nothing, you partake in the crime When people ask questions that the governments cannot explain People shouldn't be afraid to force their governments to change And if injustice is a legislative process, I feel it is my duty to stand up and rage My duty to complain and not to comply My duty to defy, it's my human right 'Cause we decide how this world is run And this life here, it's my only one [Outro: Bill Hicks] They don't want the voice of reason spoken, folks, 'cause otherwise we'd be free, and otherwise we wouldn't believe their fuckin' horseshit lies, nor the fuckin' propaganda machine; the mainstream media, and buy their horseshit products that we don't fuckin' need, and become a third world consumer fuckin' plantation, which is what we're becoming Fuck them
