You Can't Be Neutral on a Moving Train |
Governments lie all the time |
Well, not just the American government, it’s just in the nature of governments |
Well, they have to lie. |
And since they don’t represent the people, |
and so since they act against the interest of the people |
The only way they can hold power is if they lie to the people |
(You don’t know what I know, you can’t see the spreading state |
Of deception, I am cruel to myself, things will never be the same) |
If they told people the truth they wouldn’t last very long |
(I will hold my silence like a weapon in my hand |
If I used it I would murder myself |
You could never understand) |
Columbus came ashore greeted with nothing but niceness |
Sailing west in attempt to find gold and spices |
Dominated by the popes in frenzy for ices |
The Catholic church expelled Jews and claimed it was righteous |
The first man to see land would get a reward |
And get a yearly pension for life clearly from God |
A young sailor saw land said, «We isn’t far» |
Columbus lied, said he saw it the evening before |
They touched ground, they were greeted by the Arawak |
Columbus had them locked up as prisoners in an hour flat |
He wanted to find their source of gold and that was that |
And when they thought that wasn’t fair then he stabbed their back |
When there was no more gold he took slaves instead |
And left a quarter million Indians in Haiti dead |
The men died in mines, the women died at work |
The children died from lack of milk and they died in the dirt |
They were just taking advantage of a passive people |
They were just being the savages of massive evil |
That’s the church work, that’s the path of massive ego |
That’s the blood of Abraham being stabbed by the steeple |
In 1619 they were patiently waiting |
For a ship that carried slaves that was changing the nation |
The white man was a cannibal praying to Satan |
Hatred contempt a pity of patronization |
That’s the corner stone everything racism based in |
The African had a more advanced civilization |
Black was slave, master was white, rationalization |
50 million dead, that’s Western civilization |
At first they appeared in the North |
And they were helpless in the face of superior force |
And all of them were chained together, they really was lost |
Racism isn’t natural it’s merely divorce |
Before the slave trade black was considered distasteful |
By the Oxford dictionary, I find it disgraceful |
It’s not a natural tendency to be bitter and hateful |
It’s the natural enemy of the critical staple |
Slavery grew as the plantation system grew |
The reason for that’s kinda easily traceable |
Society of helpless dependence was capable |
Of saying, «Fuck a slave master, you’re in slavery too» |
Seven slaves were put to death for murdering master |
Fear of slave revolt had them developing faster |
You a cataline killer, ineloquent bastard |
I would burn the white man while smelling the ashes |
From time to time white man was part of the resistance |
White indentured servants wanted no part of the system |
King Philip’s War showed that if people would listen |
That they can maybe break the complex chain of oppression |
Tyranny is tyranny, but that’s a concession |
But the women they was treated like that of possessions |
Black women had it worse cause they was abused |
That’s the white justification of Aryan blues |
The next move was to dominate the Mexicans |
James Polk dominated them like they was next of kin |
He sent Colonel Cross to lie to them and let them in |
11 days later, his skull was crushed, so message sent |
«We take nothing by conquest,"that was the mantra |
The military wasn’t human, they was just monsters |
Henry David Thoreau refused to pay his taxes |
Denounced the Mexican War and got locked in shackles |
The twentieth century opened, anger reemerged |
Reality of ordinary life was being heard |
Anarchists and feminists came from factory work |
Communism, socialism seemed to be re-birthed |
«War is the health of the state» is what Bourne said |
And if you was born around that time you was born dead |
The Espionage Act had people confused |
Cause it was double talk and they didn’t know how it’d be used |
Supposedly it was an act against spying |
Dubois knew that that was bullshit and they was lying |
Charles Schenck was arrested in Philadelphia |
For printing and distributing leaflets cause they was helping ya |
He was indicted, tried and then found guilty |
And spent six months in jail, don’t that sound silly? |
Had his freedom taken away by his own nation |
But there’s a lesson, do not submit to intimidation |
The act still exists today and this shit is real |
Supposedly Kennedy tried to have that shit appealed |
Eugene Debs did ten years for no purpose |
He obstructed the recruiting and enlistment service |
The post office started taking mail privileges |
Of magazines who printed anti-war sentiments |
A Socialist named Fairchild had it right |
He said that «they can shoot me, but they can’t make me fight» |
They sentenced him to a year in jail and that was reckless |
65,000 men, conscientious objectors |
They were sent to army bases to work there |
They were treated sadistically and were hurt there |
They were strangled with the hemp rope til they collapsed |
And officers punched they stomach and they lower back |
A garden hose was placed on they face with a nozzle |
About six inches from them so they couldn’t swallow |
The war ended in nineteen hundred and eighteen (1918) |
The government was just trying to wipe the slate clean |
Hemingway wrote Farewell to Arms |
Dalton Trumbo wrote Johnny Got His Gun |
The war was over but they didn’t learn they lesson |
Twin tactics of control, reform and repression |
The patriotic fervor of war had been invoked |
That’s why the country that you live in is a FUCKING JOKE! |
You cannot be neutral on a moving train |
This is a story about the lies that your teacher told you |
This is real actual factual |
No lies in the whole record |
If you don’t believe me look it up |
I’m trying to share the shit that I learned with y’all |
Do the knowledge |
Your government does not care about you |
The people in power do not care about you |
Understand that |
Power to the people |
