A friend introduced me to this underground hip hop group a few days ago. Very political and outspoken... thought there may be a few here who would appreciate these lyrics...
Sweatshop Union
Us
The whole world's a sweatshop, a fascist regime/
With billions of parts working as a massive machine/
The goal, keep the masses passive between/
Self, cash, limousines and other fabulous things/
But, we gotta wake up and notice it's a load of sh!t/
It's all about ownership of your soul and who's controllin' it/
It's not about the gold you get, not about the clothes you're in/
It's not about oil, but we're killing each other over it/
Like a Doberman, chomping on a cat/
It's a new world order, and they're bombin on Iraq/
And it's so f@cking heartless, the whole country's starved/
And yet they've been targeted as a threat regardless/
This all started in days prior to ours/
They arrived from the stars, and survived in the dark/
Now it's time for the hearts of men/
To march against it/
And realize that the cycle starts and ends with…
Us, we're the ones that paid for the bombs/
Us, we built the planes that they're on/
Us, it's insane all of the ways they conned us/
But we can change it today, it's just all on/
Us, we're the ones that paid for the bombs/
Us, we built the planes that they're on/
Us, it's insane all the ways we've been conned/
Into killing millions of innocent people, but it's all on…
Us.
Trust me friends, it could never just be us, or just be them/
Sometimes I think it just depends, it's just pretend/
You can never trust the trends/
Don't rub your eyes, I'd rather you'd adjust the lens/
Look up to them? Tell me, who the f@ck are they?
When did they ever give a damn about what you say?
For what you stand? That's why you gotta trust me man/
Trust a Bush? That's like saying trust Sadam,/
But for real, I mean you gotta love the fam/
Ask his dad the ex-prez how many drugs he ran/
So trust us, the sh!t's about to flood the land/
Cause government hands can no longer plug the dam/
So f@ck the news, f@ck the critics, f@ck their views/
And if you sit and let it happen then f@ck you too/
It's up to you, I can't tell you what to do/
But touch the truth, and don't just judge the few/
But judge…
Us, we're the ones that paid for the bombs/
Us, we built the planes that they're on/
Us, it's insane all of the ways they conned us/
But we can change it today, it's just all on/
Us, we're the ones that paid for the bombs/
Us, we built the planes that they're on/
Us, it's insane all the ways we've been conned/
Into killing millions of innocent people, but it's all on…
Us.
But it's all on Us/Us/Us
George Bush's voice:
Either you are with us or you are with the terrorists.
