--GHOSTS--
We're going to let the rhythm hit em like Rakim did it
Better take your shot, them cops ain't kidding (oh no)
Fuck your political party, I'll vote for Bacardi
Try to make a dent in the system they guarding
Smoking fences and hedges in a stolen Lexus
and crash it into the mansion of some company president
I am never ever hesitant to step into the madness
Call suspect status on the entire apparatus
Cause the baddest motherfuckers are Intelligent ones
Who can pick up all the pieces and discard irrelevant ones
Can't call an air strike on climate change
Before the stock market crashes start bombing with planes
And while the world falls apart the economy gains
Cause all the fixing and rebuilding means the rich getting paid
Imma rearrange the frames and call a sucka 'sucka'
Sucker punch and uppercut for fucking with the culture
The vultures are overfed and sponsoring the marathon
I care enough to raise a fist when they want us to carry on
Empire for dummies, they been running the scams
The worlds greatest pick pocket - The Invisible Hand
Thieves can rob a bank if you give em a gun
But give the thieves a bank and they can rob everyone
We're lost but on a mission
Last call or get thrown awake
State of emergency, State of uncertainty
I've stayed awake for days, overtaken with this urgency
There's a certain sequence that cannot be ignored
And a certain cost to sleeping that we cannot afford
A Border ain't nothing but a line in the sand
Law and order ain't nothing but gun of the man
The door into the station where the cops command
Water boarded, shot and tortured, fucker, put up your hands

--WELCOME--
Welcome to the world we live in
Death for all, wars, debts, and prisons
Welcome to the world we live in
Drugs for all, regret your children
Like tracks of anthrax bring the noise, Like P.E did it, gotta raise your voice
Got a razor point to the vein rejoice, up the GDP till the place destroyed
Things we oppose don't go to votes. Musical chairs to the tune of hope
Intelligence gathering, war's a go. Those Patriot missiles don't oppose
There's going gap how the fuck we fix it? Lady Liberty's name ain't bridge it
All those patches in activist fashion ain't going to fucking fill it
Still cheaper to pay a wage in this day then to maintain a slave
Trickle down, come on make it rain - ain't nothing free about this trade
No one gives a fuck about Kardashians
It's a distraction from the fact that the whole system is collapsing
The news is just outrage du jour
The wages of war so rarely make it to our shores
I hate to state the obvious, but we backward hacked the process
Moving in a circle is not equivalent to progress
Step or step up, straight up break out of the mold
Sometimes it's better not to do what you're told.
The power to change the world lies in public opinion
If they wanna win it, we CPR, to resuscitate they image
That Protest was taste test for Dr. Pepper spray
A parade of underpaid who celebrate the executive raise
The detained on Vacay, Guantanamo bay watch with babes
Durf water boarding, playing intel trivia games
Distorted courts report of killing civilians the women and children were militant villains
We'll kill their officials and missile their village for riches before they come get us
You really think they'll let us steal the fire from the gods?
We'll need guerrilla tactics and the will to test the odds
They've kept us out of practice, blacklisted the rebellion
Othered opposition and fact-twisted what we tell them
They've got the guns but we've got the numbers
Things are gonna get pretty hot this summer
I used to run from the cops, but not this time
When the bombs start to drop - watch - we're going to be the front line
