Sheep To The Slaughter

Lyrics

What's wrong mommy?
 The people are upset about some things darling
 Why are they yelling?
 They want attention, they're trying to get attention
 So that people will listen to them
 This is our way of trying to get some media attention
 Because they are ignoring us, they are ignoring the anti-war movement
 They're ignoring the anti-government movement, we love our country
 But we cannot trust our government anymore
 Our government is totally out of control
 George Bush is full of shit, and who do you believe?
 Do you believe George Bush or do you believe me?
 That's what it's coming down to, do you believe your neighbors
 Do you believe the people that live in your home town?
 Or do you believe these mad dog killers in Washington D.C.?
 Are we setting up a situation where young people
 Who are just starting to come of age
 Are gonna have no choice but to either join the military
 Where there seems to be a lot of money
 Or to go to jail where there seems to be a lot of money
 Is that what this is lining up to be?
 When we, when we stand here today
 It is not enough to simply be for peace
 We have to be for social justice
 The fact is that right now, even as we are talking
 People are being murdered by U.S. imperialism throughout the middle east
 And throughout the world
 Our sons and our daughters are out there being used as cannon fodder?
 It's an outrageous
 And we should stand up and seize the hour and fight back
 If there is going to be any peace on earth
 It is going to come as a result of our people uniting
 To defeat U.S. imperialism once and for all
 Easily I approach the microphone, in this land of jokes
 Can't leave it alone, 'cause ya know, I could see right though
 Corrupt plans and these bullshit scams and untruths
 We livin' in a maze, different days and times
 The world is a stage, most truth is a lie
 In this propaganda matrix, the sheep just die
 For these murderous conservatives with corporate ties
 Deny knowledge of the truth, ignorin' the poor
 They just human ammunition for these capital wars
 Just human ammunition and collateral d
 That's why millions of us holla risin' up in the streets
 And when ya see me understand I'm representin' a voice
 The majority would feel if ever given a choice
 I don't need this seedy media they only annoy
 'Cause the only ones that wanna scrap ain't never deployed
 Who do the fightin' for these rich white folks, and they wars?
 No it ain't Drew Carey, Dennis Miller or stars
 Fox News, Mike Savage, Bruce Willis or Rush
 Won't be MSNBC, CNN or a Bush
 Never Toby Keith, Hannity, O'Reilly or Clint
 Ain't ClearChannel, know they ain't supportin' dissent
 Never Blair, Kid Rock, or Tom Cruise or vows
 Of James Woods, Rob Lowe, Tom Selleck or Powell
 Not Arnold Schwarzenegger, he ain't gonna shoot, or
 Ted Nuget 'cause in war the targets got weapons too
 Ain't Cheney, Rumsfeld, Halliburton or Ridge
 Or Ann Coulter, or Joseph Lieberman or the rich
 Or any bitch up in congress, they just make laws
 When it comes to fightin', we the ones that end up in gauze
 So when you say, "Support that murderer," I have no applause
 Even if he got his jumpsuit on, we pay the cost
