| Shakes gotta case of colt 45 an I got an AK47
|
| Shakes gotta VCR to go an I got an AK47
|
| Buds gotta a brand new pair of reeboks an I got an AK47
|
| Buds gotta pipe an Shakes gotta lighter an I got an AK47
|
| The warnings plain for all to see
|
| The writing crowds the wall
|
| Now greed has spawned disaster
|
| And pride precedes the fall
|
| The rapid fire of destiny
|
| Takes history by the hour
|
| Now you and me have chained ourselves
|
| To the pillar of fire.
|
| The deputys got a shotgun
|
| The Marines got CS gas
|
| The cops have got a swagger
|
| Says you can kiss my ass
|
| Politician now aint nothing
|
| But another word for liar
|
| The only truth is in the light
|
| of the pillar of fire.
|
| Rising from the jewelfield
|
| Rising from the plain
|
| Rising from the liquormart
|
| Rising from the pain
|
| Rising from consuming rage
|
| Rising from the mire
|
| Rising from Los Angeles
|
| Awesome pillar of fire.
|
| The Huxtables cant save us
|
| Willy Horton takes the point
|
| St. Theresa of the Roses
|
| Works a topless joint
|
| Cant trust no ballgame hero
|
| Til hes on the barricade
|
| And Eddie Murphys having lunch
|
| With Himmler in the shade
|
| And high above the carnage
|
| Cold eyes with no desire
|
| While you and me in fascination
|
| Approach the pillar of fire. |
