True Lies
Block McCloud & DJ Waxwork Lyrics

Well I'm not going to leave you alone!
I will stand with you, together in protest.

I want you to get mad!
Don't settle for complacency, get angry and take action.

I don't want you to protest, I don't want you to riot
Protesting and rioting are not the solution to the problems at hand.

I don't want you to write to your congressman
Writing to your congressman won't change anything.

Because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write
Even if writing to your congressman had value, I don't know what to say.

I don't know what to do about the depression
I don't have a solution to the economic depression.

And the inflation and the Russians and the crime on the street
There are many issues we are dealing with right now.

All I know is that first you've got to get mad!
The first step to fighting back is to get angry.

You've got to say "I'm a human being, God damnit! My life has value!"
Assert your worth and the value of your life.

Listen people they got us believin' we nothin' but heathens
We're being convinced that we are uncivilized and immoral.

Schemin' hatin' each other for nothin' but breathin'
We are manipulated into hating each other for meaningless reasons.

Hatin' each other for colour and creed when, me and you
We are essentially the same despite our differences in skin and religion.

We one and the same under the blade you cut and you bleed
Despite our differences, we all bleed and feel pain the same way.

And they think we dumb and naive, but we wasn't conceived yesterday
We are not as foolish as they assume.

We know that AIDS they made up the disease
AIDS is believed to have been created by humans.

And they tease us with money and greed and make us hunger and feed
Our desires for money and consumption are being manipulated.

Off each other like some bloodsuckin' freaks
We are being exploited by each other for profit.

If you think that lettin' your daughters watchin' Charm School
If you believe that letting your daughters watch Charm School is a good idea.

Won't harm you or her in the long run you're a darn fool
You are foolish to believe that.

It's so blatant how they rapin' our minds
The manipulation of our thoughts and beliefs is very clear.

In plain sight takin' our rights, dignity, it ain't right
They are taking our rights and dignity, and it's not okay.

I'll admit that Obama had me believin' the hype
Obama was able to convince some people of his qualities.

But after doin' the knowledge I ain't been sleepin' at night
After learning more, the singer cannot sleep at night.

Probably the biggest deception I ever seen in my life
The biggest lie the artist has ever encountered.

If y'all don't read between the lines then y'all ain't readin' it right
If you don't look deeper into what's going on, you're not understanding it correctly.

Obama and Bush cousins and that's a true connection
There is a real and significant connection between Obama and Bush.

Seizin' power and property like a ruthless henchman
They are taking power and property like a villainous figure.

I'm in the Jewish temple on Mount Zion
The artist is in a Jewish temple on Mount Zion.

Studyin' literature from the Priory of Zion
The artist is studying literature from the Priory of Zion.

Nothing's safe, no cars, no planes to fly on
Nothing feels totally safe, even the things we rely on for transportation.

I got a few bulletproof vests to try on
The singer is ready to protect themselves physically.

Yeah - but y'all can just remain the machine
Those who blindly follow can continue being part of the system.

It's true lies but I decide to stay on my D
It's all fake, but the artist chooses to stay true to themselves.

You a sucker if you think that the economy killed
You are foolish to believe that the economy is to blame.

Barrack Obama 666 finally revealed
Obama is believed by some to be the Antichrist.

This means more to me then 16's and 8 ball hooks
This cause and struggle is worth more to me than music and drugs.

So many behind bars before they hit 16 or deported
So many people are imprisoned or deported before they even turn 16.

Just look at what the graveyard took
Consider all those who have died due to systemic injustices.

16 in the clip one more for Saint Pete's book
The reality of senseless violence and death.

It's the hook, line and sinker live, fast and die quicker
We're being fed lies and pushed towards death.

Replace brother with nigger so we fire 9's quicker
We're being led to shoot and kill our own people.

The tell.lie.vision keep the mind's eye trippin'
Television is manipulating the people who watch it.

And the school systems built to brainwashin' gods children
The education system is brainwashing students.

More capitalism only mean more problems
The more capitalism we have, the more issues we face.

Stockmarket crash hard times and?
What happens after a stock market crash? Hard times and...?

Huddled masses that never passed through Alice Island
Immigrants who never passed through Ellis Island.

Wonder experiments Tuscany and Guatemalans
Referring to unethical medical experiments.

Obama's only sending more troops for deployment
Obama is sending more troops into war zones.

Only folks with jobs here work for unemployment
In some places, people only have jobs related to unemployment.

So dig there's a reason the liberty bell don't ring
There is a reason that freedom and liberty are not truly present.

I want you... to get up now
The singer wants everyone to take action.

I want all of you get up out of your chairs
The artist wants listeners to physically stand up.

I want you to get up right now
The artist wants people to take action immediately.

And go to the window open it and stick your head out and yell
The singer wants people to be vocal and visible.

I'm as mad as hell and not going to take this any more!
The singer is fed up and ready to take action.
