Sheep To The Slaughter

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
