Disorder
Ice-T/Slayer Lyrics

War!!!
The song starts with a cry for war.

Our government is fucked
The government is beyond repair and is collapsing.

Sure to bring us down
It will eventually lead to the downfall of the country.

The media incites civil unrest
Media has the power to cause chaos and violence among people.

Hatred can bring you down
Hatred can bring personal destruction to oneself.

[Chorus]
The lyrics are repeated to reinforce the message.

Military beasts starvin' countries
The military consumes all resources leaving the countries in poverty and despair.

Drama brings you to your knees
Conflict and war can cripple even the strongest nations.

Spill your blood to save humanity
The soldiers are fighting and dying for the greater good of humanity.

Dyin' for the food we feed
The very food people are consuming is causing the warfare.

Our government is fucked
Repetition to emphasize on the point already made.

Injustice drives you crazy
Unfairness can drive a person to the point of insanity.

It drive l.a. insane
The reference to L.A.'s infamous 1992 riots which sparked due to racial tensions and police violence.

In this generation
Even after so many years, hatred still prevails in society.

Hatred is the name
Hatred is still the primary source of all conflicts.

[Chorus]
Repetition to emphasize on the point already made.

Bastard magic should make you cry
The system that should help and protect us is not doing its job, and it's painful.

The answer to the question is we ain't gonna die
The songwriter doesn't believe that people will perish; instead, they will find a way to survive.

Police can make me under stress
The police are causing pressure and anxiety amongst the public.

While all L.A.'s a fuckin' mess
The city of L.A. is engulfed in chaos and anarchy.

Don't patronize my fuckin' ass
Don't treat me like I'm stupid.

Some heads will get crashed
If things continue this way, it will lead to devastating consequences.

Billy's got himself a gun
Referring to an event in which someone takes matters into their own hands.

He's goin' to fuckin' war
The man is ready to cause violence and destruction.

He won't revert to sticks and stones
He won't back down at trivial or peaceful solutions.

Just bullet holes and broken bones
He is willing to go to any lengths to get what he wants.

Chaos, chaos, chaos, chaos
The repetition of chaos suggests the overwhelming nature of the situation.

Don't give a fuck!
The man doesn't care about what others think, and he's willing to do anything.

Covert body knock ya down
The government is working behind the scenes to take people down.

No weight support so taken down
People are being dragged down without any support from the authorities.

The juk-jock, a lock in a cell
Refers to the perceived injustice in the justice system.

We ain't got shit, now had enough
People have had enough of being taken advantage of.

Disorder!!! [Repeat x8]
The chorus is repeated multiple times to reflect the chaos and disorder in society.
