| Handed down from fathers to sons
|
| Was the hatred of weakness and the love of guns
|
| A talk of peace but not in our time
|
| To save our souls and stop the crime
|
| Onwards and upwards but going nowhere
|
| So how many now truthfully swear
|
| That they do no evil, see no wrong
|
| The ad-mass agents, the writers of song
|
| The bankers, the poets, the modern day seers
|
| Clouding an issue that was never quite clear
|
| Sent through the ages of boy to man
|
| The living testament of making a stand
|
| Killing the wicked then raising the dead
|
| Eating propaganda and shit spoon fed
|
| Grasping for wisdom, but thick all the same
|
| So how many innocents now can claim
|
| That they play with fire and get burnt
|
| And through the same mistakes never get learnt
|
| Hoping for a time it will fall to place
|
| Faith shall show as our saving grace
|
| Handed down from God with love
|
| Was the whole wide world and some above
|
| But not content to share the land
|
| Greed was shown the winning hand
|
| And those whose greed was the strongest of all
|
| Took upon themselves to lead the call
|
| That some must work while other rest
|
| Without the question of what is best
|
| The leaders, the losers and the kings
|
| Pass the rifle butt that tyranny brings
|
| Passed on over to the chosen few
|
| Was the promise of freedom with a breadline queue
|
| Ghetto’s, gateaux and eating it too
|
| Forcing it all down with a cola brew
|
| The first amendment and the hunt for reds
|
| A conscious contradiction with something said
|
| That they see no evil with eyes shut tight
|
| A cocaine culture that offers no fight
|
| Dragged from birth, drugged to death
|
| The common excuse is just being yourself
|
| Hand us down before it’s too late
|
| The strength and wisdom to change our state
|
| Governed by evil and all it will bring
|
| I can’t wait for the day they do the lamppost swing
|
| And no mercy should they be shown
|
| For you cannot reason with the devil’s own
|
| They say, they hear no evil, hands clasped tight
|
| To shut out the victims' screams of ol' Uncle Sam fights
|
| He sweats and he strains as his boney frame comes
|
| Into the womb of an innocent one |
