Listen Closely Not to be confused with protest music Or pretend I have some sort of viable solutions For robots and super humans fighting for a future And a generation replaced by computers Raised in a stupor then shipped off to war k** k** k** k** the poor But who else would wash windows on skyscrapers? Or circulate whatever diseases they make up? When newspapers read like gossip columns Put girls on birth control instead of condoms They got a ringtone for everything you hear I got a blackberry and a lump behind my ear Plus my health insurance ends in Spring Graduated college, didn't learn a f**ing thing Walking the chem-trail less traveled When even the weather is controlled by these a**holes Maybe that respiratory problems no coincidence And big brothers watching closer than you think is I wouldn't know but I'm not convinced Not p-noid just on my P's and Q's On the watch for pigs They're on the watch for us So watch what you say and who you say it to Phones are bugged They make the water taste like Ativan And put soldiers in Penn Station, gats in hand So I make mad Black Flag references Because I relate to Keith and feel just as depressed as him Head on my shoulders Watching B-list celebrities go sober Makes me want to do myself a favor; Die young They try to shut you up and it's working While they fire us, and blow cities up To remind us we're sitting ducks (I don't want a computer chip in my arm) Them Vs. Us Stand the f** up Jealous cowards try to control, rise above Them Vs. Us Fight for what you love Funk, jazz, punk, soul, rock & roll, dub Them Vs. Us Taxes do what? It's not your concern until they're at your door with guns Them Vs. Us The police are scum Laws are unjust, tell it to a judge Them Vs. Us Employee of the month Work all day just to get f**ed up Them Vs. Us Zoning out to the drums Steal from your work place, theyre stealing from us Them Vs. Us Dead by 21 Camera's on every block nowhere to run Them Vs. Us Consume what you must Hate tobacco industry, love smoking blunts
