Malcolm X never lived to see the government fall But the state he opposed made him a stamp Maybe that's the best you can hope for if you never give up: Your enemies will teach your corpse to dance And you and me, buddy We've been living for a ghost when we ain't been sticking our heads in the sand So when I'm afraid take me by the hand And show the world that we can't be planned It's alright, it's okay It's just that everything's f**ed It's alright, it's okay It's just that everything's f**ed Catch me smashing my own windows When I'm feeling nuts It's alright, it's okay It's just that everything's f**ed I've been lying on the ground Alone and unwashed, without enough courage to brush my teeth I'm afraid of the red that will pour out my gums And bleed me to d**h in my sleep I've been staying inside with the curtains down Ignoring what phone calls I get So when I come out take me by the hand and show the world a fight it won't forget
