Evol Intent - The Foreword lyrics

I don't have to tell you things are bad Everybody knows things are bad The dollar buys a nickel's worth Banks are going bust Shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter Punks are running wild in the street And there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do And there's no end to it We know the air is unfit to breathe And our food is unfit to eat We sit watching our TVs While some local newscaster tells us That today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes As if that's the way it's supposed to be We all know things are bad Worse than bad They're crazy It's like everything everywhere is going crazy So we don't go out any more We sit in the house and slowly the world we're living in is getting smaller And all we say is, "Please at least leave us alone in our living rooms Let me have my toaster and my TV And my steel-belted radials And I won't say anything Just leave us alone" Well, I'm not going to leave you alone I want you to get mad I don't want you to protest I don't want you to riot I don't want you to write to your congress member because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write All I know is that first You've got to get mad You've gotta say, "I'm a human being God dammit My life has value!" This is your new world order The intent evil Stack bodies stack bills Steal power from the people It's the orchestra of war Apocalyptic prequel Halliburton stay murkin' Skull and bones keep it legal We be underground Fire f**ing rounds back lethal Put the vinyl to the needle Let them hear them desert eagles 'Cause these s**ers have been hypnotized Don't see the news like we do Story of us making mockeries of God Their minds feeble If the government wanna go and act a fool Then let 'em know that my hand gonna pack a tool From the slums and the dirty air All the way to the two one fade murder capital Republican or democrat Neither one will pay 'Cause the bank owns the government We're all some f**in' slaves This sh** is wild and urgent You smell that fire burning Nothing to be concerned with The era of diversion Fox News and W Are f**in' Halliburton Nothing to be concerned with The era of diversion FEMA, f** Katrina Yeah, that's for certain Nothing to be concerned with The era of diversion These old merchants They are working with the man behind the curtain You should be concerned with The era of diversion
