[00:02.39]Verse 1:
[00:06.11]there once was a song called "arrest the president." contemporary music. a
[00:09.32]hit with the kids. it was a top ten. i wasn't pop then so i missed the bus a bit.
[00:14.00]but politics was on everybody's hot-this-summer list. the cool kids were all rocking votes.
[00:19.63]i shit you not. but i was pistol whipping cops for hiphop.
[00:23.45]up on a soap box... yelling into megaphones
[00:25.70]killing hard rocks and using carcasses as stepping stones.
[00:28.72]i had to promise i'd stop holding my marches.
[00:31.52]the day that chris columbus got crucified on golden arches.
[00:34.05]but my pedestal was too tall to climb off.
[00:36.53]in fact, that's the reason for the high horse.
[00:39.46]from here i can see the marines in hummers on a conquest.
[00:42.30]underdogs with wonderbras in a push up contest.
[00:44.29]all for the sake of military recruitment.
[00:46.65]it felt like kent state the way they targeted the students.
[00:49.28]so i galloped off whistling "ohio."
[00:51.59]the rest of em were stuck doing stand up at a cricket convention.
[00:54.65]who would they die for?
[00:55.74]is it the same machine that leaves the quality of your life poor?
[00:59.84]an abominable colony of cyborgs
[01:02.94]clogging up the property that i bought with eye sores.
[01:05.54]Chorus:
[01:06.59]that clever ad campaign ain't worth
[01:08.14]the time taken from minimum waged labor.
[01:10.31]i don't care how half naked or fake she looks.
[01:13.07]she smells like dirty cash and poorly aged paper books.
[01:15.73]who would she die for? (slow down gandhi, you're killin' em)
[01:18.92]who would she die for? (slow down gandhi, you're killin' em)
[01:26.74]Verse 2:
[01:27.46]now it's whistle blower vs the pistol holder. case dismissed.
[01:30.37]they'll lock you up and throw away the key witness.
[01:32.19]justice is the whim of a judge. check his chest density.
[01:34.48]it leaves much room for error, and the rest is left to destiny.
[01:37.72]the west memphis 3 lost paradise.
[01:39.62]now it's death penalty vs suicidal tendencies.
[01:42.48]and all i wanted was a fucking pepsi.
[01:44.58]"making you think you're ugly is a million dollar industry." corrina bain
[01:48.50]if they could sell sanity in a bottle they'd be charging for compressed air.
[01:51.80]they're marketing health care.
[01:53.26]they demonized welfare. middle class eliminated.
[01:55.63]the rich get richer til the poor get educated.
[01:58.56]but some of y'all still haven't grown into your face. and your face doesn't
[02:02.12]quite match your head. and i'm waiting for a brain to fill that dead space
[02:05.25]that's left. you're all "give me ethnicity or give me dreads!"
[02:08.75]trustafundian rebel without a cause for alarm.
[02:11.08]because when push turns to shove you jump into your forefather's arms.
[02:14.17]he's a banker. you're part of the system.
[02:16.76]off go the dreadlocks, in comes the income.
[02:19.57]the briefcase, the freebase, the sickness, the symptom.
[02:22.56]when the cameras start rolling stay the fuck out of the picture, pilgrim.
[02:25.52]slow down gandhi, you're killin' em.
[02:30.11]mr. save the world... spare us the details.
[02:32.75]save the females from losing interest.
[02:34.35]miss save the universe... you're a damsel in distress.
[02:37.58]tied down to a track of isolated incidents.
[02:40.25]generalize my disease. i need a taste of what its like.
[02:42.79]living off the fat of kings. i'll play the scab at your hunger strike.
[02:51.12]one love, one life, one too many victims.
[02:53.58]republicrat-democran, 1 party system.
[02:56.13]media goes in a frenzy. they're stripped of their credentials.
[02:58.78]presidential candidates can't debate over an instrumental.
[03:01.55]let 'em freestyle. winner takes all.
[03:04.03]when the music's dead i'll have ted nugent's head hanging on my wall.
[03:07.07]kill one of ours... and we'll kill one of yours with some "friendly fire."
[03:09.57]that's a funny term... like "civil war."
[03:12.35]6 in the morning police at my door.
[03:14.86]now my nights consist of two toothpicks and eyelids.
[03:17.56]a crucifix and vitamins. music that is pirated.
[03:19.95]new flavored food made of mutated hybrids.
[03:22.76]ughhh! they tell me it's not... that... bad.
[03:25.12]it fucks you up good, but it's not... that... bad.
[03:27.89]they hold onto these tales til its the dog... that... wags.
[03:30.43]god save us all if he lets the cat out the bag.
[03:33.35]who's the one to blame for the strain of the vocal cords?
[03:36.34]who can pen hateful threats but can't hold a sword?
[03:38.98]it's the same one who complain about the global war
[03:41.53]but can't overthrow the local joker that they voted for.
[03:43.92]they call the shots, but they're not in the line fire.
[03:47.14]i'd call the cops but they break in the line of duty.
[03:49.00]call a stop to the abuse of authority.
[03:51.58]the truth keeps calling me, and i'm a live to tell the story.
[03:54.97]So look for truth. quit seeking forgiveness.
[03:56.82]you need to cut the noose, but you don't believe in scissors.
[03:59.13]you support the troops by wearing yellow ribbons?
[04:01.92]just bring home my motherfucking brothers and sisters.
[04:04.51]slow down gandhi, you're killin' 'em.
