Slumlord
Dandi Wind Lyrics

You say you conserve.
You claim to be environmentally conscious.

That's true but a laugh when the battle is through you'll still have your stash, yes.
Your conservation efforts don't matter when you prioritize your own wealth and possessions after everything else has been destroyed.

Your idiot mug impressed the masses.
People are fooled by your unimpressive and incompetent demeanor.

Fear mongering cuts through the classes.
You use fear to control people of all backgrounds and social classes.

But in a days work and when it was chic.
Even when it's not popular, you continue to make deals and cozy up to powerful individuals.

You always found time to grease up the sheiks.
You go out of your way to flatter and befriend wealthy and influential people, even if they have questionable morals.

Yeah you buttered him up flattered all night.
You showered the sheik with compliments and favors to win their favor.

But then he didnt bend o you step on shi'te.
When the sheik didn't give you what you wanted, you turned on them and showed your true colors.

Gonna kill our masters.
We want to overthrow our corrupt and oppressive leaders.

Gotta end it faster.
We need to act quickly to achieve our goal.

Why we do it fast?
We act quickly to prevent further suffering and injustice.

Just to push them to the past.
We want to move on from the terrible things our leaders have done and create a better future.

We can't find a podium?
We don't need a platform or stage to speak out about the injustices we face.

No microphone?
We don't need fancy equipment to be heard.

No PA, audience?
We don't need a large audience or sound system to make an impact.

Then we do it alone.
We are willing to stand up for what we believe in, even if it means doing it alone.

It's quite a team you've managed to acquire; denies, liars and pacifiers.
You have surrounded yourself with people who deny or ignore problems, lie to cover up the truth, and try to pacify those who speak out against injustice.

They joined your old boys club & control our afternoon a hot-tub.
Your associates have formed an exclusive group that controls everything, including how we spend our leisure time.

You think you can justify the attacks, just cuz you bought some token blacks?
You believe that hiring a few people of color makes up for your oppressive and discriminatory actions.

To nod sternly and stand all stoic and make a moron like you seem heroic?
You think that being serious and emotionless makes you seem intelligent and heroic, even though your actions are harmful and foolish.

The war on terror is war or error.
You believe that the 'war on terror' is a mistake that causes more harm than good.

Storm the enemy in yr SUV. Endless war
You use your expensive SUV to wage war and promote endless conflict.

It's true i've seen just sanitized for your tv screen.
What you see on TV is only a fraction of the real horrors of war and oppression.

1-9-8-4 it's true i've seenThreads, brazil and soylent green.
You have read or watched works of dystopian fiction, which inspire you to fight against oppressive systems.

The spoils of war.
The benefits and profits gained from war are immoral and unjustified.

Goal of a fool.
Your desire for power and wealth is foolish and misguided.

Unsure if you're wrong so you try and keep cool.
You are not confident in your actions and ideas, so you act unemotionally to try and hide that fact.

Cuz you're a cowboy and studied malboro ads.
You model yourself after the stoic and tough image of cowboys and Marlboro cigarette ads.

Lassoing contracts for friends of your dad.
You use your family connections to secure favorable contracts and opportunities for your friends.

You do what's whispered in your ear piece.
You blindly follow the instructions you receive from your advisors, without considering the consequences or ethics of your actions.

Hide facts you can't grasp with a clear blank face.
You hide information and refuse to acknowledge problems that you don't understand or can't control.

But don't forget to talk in a monotone.
You speak in a flat and dispassionate way to seem serious and in control.

It shows you're resolute like a kidney stone.
Your stubbornness and lack of compassion are similar to the hard and painful texture of a kidney stone.

What will we do.
We need to determine our course of action.

What will you do.
You need to take responsibility for your actions and choices.

When you have to fight on your own soil
When the problems and conflicts you have created come back to haunt you in your own country.
