The Politics of Starving

It's time for some real world politics
 Economics, history, math and English
 Born and raised and bred walking a thin line
 Between lost and succeeding it's another cannibal
 The rules aren't changing, if you really don't like it
 The threat has always been there, and terror always happens
 For all the fights, for all the songs, all we said
 All we have is these pictures of us
 If it doesn't matter now, then it never really did
 And without this we might as well be dead
 They're all black and white people
 And that doesn't have anything to do with us
 After all these years it's still an arms race
 After all these years they still don't fucking get it
 Lives and cultures matter more than capitalist interest
 It's the FBI, it's the CIA, the ATM, the IMF, in the end, fuck you
 For all the fights, for all the songs, all we said
 All we have is these pictures of us
 If it doesn't matter now, then it never really did
 And without this we might as well be dead
 When you are so hungry that you'd believe anything
 They're selling you the politics of starving
 And what the fuck does that really mean to us?
