Whip$ and Chain$ |
| Strange fruit I roll up in my ford taurus |
| Emissions I wont pass like Gandalf at Moria |
| Way out of order |
| Sedan with four doors |
| Pull out garage and lost side view mirror |
| My credit card final fantasy breaks the limit |
| I just paid just brakes to break my lemon |
| Wont make enough juice for my pessimism |
| So I’m not for given 'till my debts forgiven |
| Skim off the top |
| Convertible roofs |
| Thinking spanish |
| Green sounds like the truth |
| Got it on lock jaw to the tip o' the tooth |
| Way I floss no dental insurance to boot |
| But my chain hangs low, I could double dutch |
| Keep my eyes to the floor so don’t stumble much |
| I shine at night from all the carrots |
| 'Cause it’s not who you are but who you’re wearing |
| Stay sportin lashes from the old massa’s |
| Clasps on the neck says |
| 'Property of the masses' |
| And whats under the chassis |
| The block is gentrified while the governor’s classic |
| Don’t know who the boss is do I hold the power |
| Or am I powered like horses |
| Whip is blowin' out my back like I’m exhaust-ed |
| Pipes blowin' more fire than pentecost |
| Who killed o? |
| Why and what’s the reason for? |
| Who starts homicidal wars? |
| Rich man poor man either or? |
| Who shows us what we knead? |
| Who’s got the bread for the luxuries? |
| Who told us it’s ingrained? |
| We who hold these whips and chains |
| If there’s no lock who needs a key? |
| When did we stop being free? |
| I see things vis a vis a sea change |
| Full fathom five people became remains deep beneath chains |
| We pay into easing these pains |
| 'Cause the history is difficult |
| Wish the results could be flipped like reciprocals |
| Allow me to renumerate aloud the typical rude awakenings of the drowsy consumer |
| base |
| Bass boom will make the crowd sing and syncopate with the views that they’re |
| espousing |
| Synchronize to the stupid take a thousand |
| Sinning like every excuse they make is valid |
| Simon Williams I Wonder Man |
| Just how did our oil get under their sand? |
| And how did our homes get onto their land? |
| And how did our foes get guns in their hands? |
| Conflict diamonds |
| Child labor tennis shoes |
| Genocide energy |
| Gentrified gin and juice |
| Slave trade banks |
| Rape-based internet movies |
| What’s a simple straight-laced human to do |
| With a strange fate twist and fame |
| Except talk shit and name off a list of gains |
| But do you realize I’d find my lips in flames |
| If I tried to take pride in these whips and chains |
| Who holds these |
| Who holds these |
| Who holds these traps and circuses |
| We want it |
| They own it |
| So we’re going half-berserk for it |
| Let’s take it |
| Let’s take it |
| Let’s take it back before cassettes |
| Pepsi cans and packs of percocet |
| 1910 all the factory workers said |
| Yes we can demand a weekend |
| If we can get the man to weaken |
| So if you’re ready than send a beacon |
| To be continued and to begin |
| We can’t be content to steep in the anaesthesia |
| Invisible hands of phantoms depend on |
| Ya fantasies have been poisoned |
| But we’ve got the panacea! |
