Lyrics They Warned Us - Invisible Inc., Gift Of Gab

They Warned Us

They warned us
They warned us
They warned us
They warned us
They warned us
They warned us
They warned--
The walls are closing in around everybody breathing
Now either they are panicking or everybody’s seeking
To get away up off the planet telling y’all to keep in
Emotions while the rich are steady heading for the deep end
Of space
Even poor people left to fend and the separate Left to die and rest up in
Muddy waters people cut out cuz the flood is just begin
Electricity cut off no AC no ESPN
Everyone will say they own a lack of people rescuing
Basically shelters are all packed inside they cease to let you in
Hurricanes are set to spin
This is more than just a win
Everyone begins to run they pick you up and lift you in
This the day humanity is dreaded
Pray and hope your soul is headed
Out to go to somewhere better
I can’t really see how hell is worser than the Earth is now
Lord forgive for just how
We have took the planet Earth for granted
What’s our purpose now?
They warned us
They warned us
They warned us
They warned us
They warned us
They warned us
They warned--
Yeah
We shoulda seen the signs from the beginning
The oil man got the green light to start the drilling
And the pipeline burst and when the liqiud started spilling
Plants and animals were murdered but the business made a killing
The CEO and DMOs were hired to do two things:
Feed the people food that causes tiredness and mood swings
Cancer, Diabetes now the humans as a species are just weaklings sittling right
at the top of the fast food chain
The man who runs the bank is counting cash on great amounts
People he line em up and sign em up for fake accounts
But its the language in the finer print you can’t pronounce that might just be
the reason why the repo had to take your house
But the man whose claim to fame is something scarier
Owns a publication saying whiteness is superior
To everybody else but noone seemed to notice
These were just the men that were appointed by the pollers
They warned us
They warned us
They warned us
They warned us
They warned--
The 99 percent is down to 1 percent of wealth
The one percent’s a dude who owns the planet by himself
He owns the corporation that owns all the corporations that own all the
politicians that control the people’s health
Because he owns the hospitals plus all the members of the board
So he gets paid each time they fill a bed inside the ward
And since he owns the supermarkets plus all their suppliers
If his heart desires he could fill the shelves up in the stores
With products that might give his shoppers lucrative diseases
But his generous donations fund the school system that teaches
Hes a reembodied Jesus and the church he built agrees
And nobody polices him because he owns all the police
But theres not some egregious vast conspiracy to hide
He built his kingdom by the books which puffs him up with pride
Conspiracies require several parties to conspire
With noone higher he does not conspire
He decides
They warned us
They warned us
They warned us
They warned us
They warned us
They warned--
