Fantastic Negrito Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

American pills will wreck 'n kill
American pills will wreck 'n kill
Automatic weapon in a twitching hand
The 50-foot wall of addiction, man
Do you, do you understand?

Let's break out these chains, let's burn it down
Let's break out these chains, let's burn it down
Let's break out these chains, let's burn it down
Let's break out these chains, let's burn it down

Ni-ni-nine inch penis underneath a dress
She wanted everything that he did not have
And if we keep buying everything that sells
American pills will wreck n' kill us, yes they will

You gotta break out these chains, let's burn it down
Let's break out these chains, let's burn it down
Let's break out these chains, let's burn it down
Let's break out these chains, let's burn it down

Hegemony born with a winning hand
Hegemony born with a winning hand
People get caught underneath the spell
Oh, they keep buying everything that sells
For the thrill

Break out these chains, let's burn it down
Let's break out these chains, let's burn it down
Let's break out these chains, let's burn it down
Let's break out these chains, let's burn it down
