| Foul play, fair game
|
| How many steps on this staircase?
|
| Reaping the fruit of my labour days
|
| Somewhere it all went pear-shaped
|
| No free time, I can’t spare change
|
| Fast food for thought, shit for brains
|
| You can point the finger and shift the blame
|
| If I’m gonna die tomorrow I wanna live today
|
| If we living on time borrowed why give it away?
|
| Give my life to the bottle I piss it away
|
| In a primitive and pitiful way
|
| Pitfalls pivotal to the position I play
|
| Put me on a pedestal in this particular case
|
| Tryna write true love on a polygamist’s page
|
| Protect your queen in this critical game
|
| And sacrifice your pawns for political gain
|
| Political gang
|
| Unseen hand, that might pull the pistol and spray
|
| Let us bow down to masonic symbols and pray
|
| Till we’re playing on the Glastonbury pyramid stage
|
| Don’t look back
|
| Front, make sure you look careful for that love you want
|
| Keep seeking
|
| I’m a Rambo at peace-keeping
|
| As I through this country I’m knee-deep in the so shallow
|
| Kids left out in the wild but you can see a deep truth in the eyes of a child
|
| Surrounded by miles of the Nile
|
| The killer walks free
|
| But we can put a style on trial
|
| It’s the age of the lawful killing, the courts are chilling
|
| Programme a RoboCop enforce the mission
|
| With the darkest shadow to sort your vision
|
| So we close our eyes and dream
|
| But never can explain where our minds have been
|
| So we close our eyes and dream
|
| But still feel everything that our minds have seen
|
| We’re hassle willing to believe
|
| While so many guys so willing to deceive
|
| They say that we was once swinging from the trees
|
| Now we’re in the yard, billing up cheese
|
| That’s quiet evolution
|
| Some don’t make it the quiet execution
|
| Now that’s quiet evolution
|
| But some don’t make it the quiet execution
|
| It is my own personal view having lived through it that in America The Beatles
|
| replaced our assassinated president Kennedy, who represented our hopes for a
|
| certain kind of society. |
| Didn’t get there. |
| And The Stones replaced our
|
| assassinated folk music which our own leaders suppressed for cultural, racial,
|
| and financial reasons. |
| It wasn’t okay with everybody to be Kennedy or Muddy
|
| Waters, but those messages could be accepted if they came through white
|
| entertainers from the parent culture. |
| That’s why they’re still around |
