1.The Rotten Agenda
2.Modern Day Witch Hunt
Right wing theocracy maintaining inequality
Have oragnized politically to uphold traditional hierarchies
Between rich and poor, black and white
Wanting homosexuals out of sight
And conventional marriage between woman and man
Increasing political pressure until abortion is banned
Because killing is bad but guns are good
For slaying docters just like Jesus would
Or arming Christian soliders for the next crusade
Killing all of the heathens that won't be saved
Protecting us from immigrants and perverted sexual deviants
A world of mindless Christians is what they want
Carrying out their modern day witch-hunt
Falwell, Robertson and Kennedy are defining immortality
They're bashing sexuality and cashing in on bigotry
Modern day witch-hunt
The Christian Reconstructionists are acting as the catalysts
Grooming young activists to become Christian fundamentalists
Convincing eith every medium that can lend a hand
That the youth should serve god's divine plan
So that "biblical law" can be set in place
And their bigoted morals must be embraced
That's the Christian coalition's resolution
To transform every home into god's institution
With a kitchen for women and a closet for gays
And a man in charge to make sure that's where they stay
And if they don't comply there's always domestic violence
To keep women subordinate, scared and silent
Making everything the way that god would want
Contributing to this modern day witch-hunt
Falwell, Robertson and Kennedy are defining immortality
They're bashing sexuality and cashing in on bigotry
Modern day witch-hunt
Demonizing feminism
Indoctrinated sexism
National chauvinism promotes authoritarianism
Empowered women threaten the Christian's plan
Of being an obedient dog and serving man
Like the gays, lesbaisn and transgendered
Roles that don't reflect Christian principal
Living your life by what the bible says
But your god is a myth and Christ is dead
Letting the bible do your thinking is so absurd
Because your malfunctioned god never wrote a word
Those who actually wrote the bible on your shelves
Were straight, bigoted men just like yourselves
Your word of god is just a front
That justifies this modern day witch-hunt
Your bigoted religion is what you trust
But your sick god doesn't govern us
3.Right Wing Warfare
We couldn'twait until judgement day
So we'll tell you now what god has to say
We're only here to give god's plan a nudge
And declare ourselves as your rightful judge
Because we're the enlightened ones who hear his words
And we'll make sure you get what you deserve
So if your lifestyle has left god's will defied
Then you too will be crucified
The amount of oppression commited in the name of god above
Seems hypocritical for an institution that claims to cherish love
But the leaders of the Christian right seem eager to create
A national hysteria based on ignorance and hate
Claiming to be the voice for whatever god has to say
Condemning same-sex marriages and advancement for gays
A return to traditional values that help hold women back
While portraying themselves as the minorities whose lifestyle is under attack
It's time to let god's work commence
Oppressing others in his own defense
His superiority makes his tyranny just
So our vengeful god will do what he must
To protect you from eternal damnation
Or even worse: gay liberation
All the oppression he puts his children through
Is only done out of his love for you
Under the guise of saving themselves from religious persecution
Is one way of recruiting followers into this bigoted institution
Convincing Christian soldiers that they are fighting the good fight
Helps them feel more comfortable with depriving others human rights
Redefining their image to protect a reasonable front
Keeping the focus from thei hidden agenda of what they really want
Absolute political power and a Christian hierarchy
And the salvation of your soul that can be saved with lots of money
When god asks for your money you must abide
So just sit back and let faith provide
Because with all of your money that Jesus saves
He can fill the holes in the path he paves
Where you hope to find your souls salvation
But it won't live up to your expectations
Your blind devotion has been their best investment
Now prepare your soul for disappointment
As a messenger of Christ I call on all of God's soliders to rise up and take a stand.
These are troubled times and we find ourselves engulfed in spiritual warfare,
submerged in a desperate battle between good and evil. Too many people have
been lef astray and brainwashed by the anti-biblical feminist movement and the
gay agenda. These heathens are responsible for the decline in the moral fabric of
our society. It's out Christian duty to rid the world of all this vileness. To recognize
these sinners as human beings would be an abomination in the eyes of god.
I don't need god, I don't need saved, and I won't be enslaved
Jesus enslaves
Christians surrender and subit to god's will
Those in the womb you protect, those on death row you kill
An eye for an eye, a tooth for the truth
Is this the message instilled in their youth
Or is it protesting funerals to voice their concerns
Fighting his battles until Christ returns
If his messengers are these bigoted men
Than it seems that god is showing bad judgement again
What is it going to take before your agenda is appeased,
An entire nation of worshippers dying on their knees?
And everlasting pain and suffering for those who don't repent
Is that the compassionate, loving god you claim to represent?
Looking for moral leadership from these bigoted hypocrites
Is like hoping for a fortune by polishing your shit
Fuck the Christian Coalition and their fascist polictis
There's nothing wrong with these people that a hungry lion couldn't fix
4.The World Bank
Third world is plagued by poverty and the world bank is the cause
An instrument of transnational companies to overule domestic laws
Serving merely as a weapon for american foreign policy leverage
Starvation is considered an effective repayment incentive
The initiating step in US planned destabilizaion
Is extorting money by economic manipulation
With world bank interference development is prevented
Their actions differ greatly from the compassionate image that's presented
Restructuring the world ecomomy is the world bank and the IMF
Benefitting the richest countries while developing nations are bled to death
The third world is descended so deeply into debt that their economies can't function
The demand for outrageous interest force these countries to increase production
Ecuador is forced to porduce more oil to repay all it's debt
This strain upon the ecosystem's an environmental threat
Rainforests have been ravished for iron smelting i Brazil
Ten million people have been forced from the land the world bank steal
Structural adjustment programs have pushed Peru to poverty
While many African nations suffer from extreme austerity
Restructuring the world economy is the world bank and the IMF
Benefitting the richest countries while developing nations are bled to death
Establishing puppet dictators whose actions are devestating
The world's economists line their pockets with the regimes that they're creating
They're the power watchdog security guarding where first world interests lie
They slash and burn the rainforests or build another dam
They systematically drive the indigenous people off of their land
They've paved the way for industry to legally cease resources
By imposing the political policies their leashed tyrant enforces
Restructuring the world economy is the world bank and the IMF
Benefitting the richest countries while developing nations are bled to death
5.Factory
Strapped piece of meat to a chair
Strapped piece of meat to a cross
We play god to determine your future
We play god for the sake of all
Inject the meat with a venom
Inject the meat with a hormone
We stand upright to control those who don't
We stand upright to control all
We are the superior species
With a god-given right to think
This is what separates we from the animals
This is what separates us from them
6.The Second Rape
Every 45 seconds a woman is raped
Our sexist culture allows no escape
The is violent crime is far from obscurity
When the rate of victims is one in three
Society conditions men to be rapists
And our indifference perpetuates it
With derogatory language that tends to dehumanize
Making it easier for men to victimize
And the pornographic images that help portray
Women as legitimate sexual prey
When sexism is embedded in our judicial system
It's no surprise why the courts won't listen
And the role of attacker and survivor become distorted
So the majority of rapes are never reported
The threat of rape is always there
It's like a poison that saturates the air
A society stricken by a cancerous disease
Where men know they can do as they please
You tell me the punishment for rape
You tell me how much jail time it will take
When one out of three women will be raped
You tell me what it's going to fucking take
Do you see me in my low cut shirt
Or high heel shoes or a miniskirt
Woman is the victim you desire
You say you can't resist your predatory fire
You tell me why I stand guilty and accused
You tell me when I'm beaten an abused
When it's my body that's been raped and defiled
You tell me why I'm the one on trial
Defense attorney?: Do you know the man who "allegedly" attacked you?
Victim?: Yes I know the man who raped me.
Defense attorney?: And isn't this man a friend of yours?
Victim?: Well I thought he was a friend of mine.
Defense attorney?: And were you drinking that night he 'allegedly" attacked you?
Victim?: I had a drink or two but is that a crime?
Defense attorney?: I'll ask the questions if you don't mind!
-What were you wearing: How did you act?
Victim?: My wardrobe isn't an invitation for a man to attack.
-I didn't act in any way to bring this on. Why am I on trail? What did I do wrong?
Defense attorney?: Could you tell the jury why you let this happen?
Victim?: I was in shock. I couldn't stop him.
Defense attorney?: You claim that you were raped but how do we know?
Victim?: I said no, I said no, no, no!
Defense attorney?: Isn't it true you're just a woman scorned?
Victim?: I'm a woman who's been raped and torn.
Defense attorney?: Your honor, I demand that this case be dismissed,
-it all comes down to her word against his!
I may not have bruises all over my body
But when I went to his room I never would have guessed
That he would force my no to mean a yes
You tell me why I'm guilty of this crime
You tell me why the responsibility is mine
When women suffer a second rape during trial
Courts help rapists to violate and defile
7.Plausible Deniability
The self serving U.N. who manufacture war
Saw no legal way to stop the killings committed in East Timor
"We don't want to create a situation in which the responsibility
that is the government of Indonesia's is shifted to the international community."
But when there was a "Crisis in Kosovo" we heard a different speech
The human rights defended were worth the jurisdiction breached
And when they declared that Yugoslavia must be stopped
Operation Allied Force made sure the bombs were dropped
The slaughter of the East Timorese should have been prevented
Just like the scorched earth policy that was also implemented
In the U.N.'s moral conscience had any real sincerity
But instead they hide behind a mask of plausible deniability
So now the "peacekeepers" of the western world seem humbled by regret
Unable to stretch the U.N. budget to help empower UNAMET
Leaving Indonesia hopelessly caught between two warring factions
And their economy could be destabilized by outside interaction
The militias are solely responsible for murdering the East Timorese
That's what the U.N. and the American media would lead you to believe
But the Indonesian government is not as innocent as it seems
They're the U.S. sponsored terrorists of a puppet rogue regime
The militias are just a front for the Indonesian military
Committing genocidal actions while projecting legitimacy
Suppressing the "special autonomy" the referendum ballot guaranteed
Preventing the independence that the election so decreed
The U.S. were long time supporters of Shurarto's authoritarian rule
Whose atrocities were overlooked for being a beneficial tool
Buying U.S. political support under a false pretense
So when the political tide turned and special interests were at stake
The U.S. helped dismantle that dictatorship and build Indonesia a new state
Secretly trained army militia to keep their prosperity intact
Insuring that in spite of their oppression the U.N. would never act
So the western leaders cry crocodile tears and offer empty threats
In the face of another genocide they claim they won't forget
Their hypocrisy is blatantly obvious with the excuses that they gave
These protectors of world democracy bury more people than they save
8.Who's Calling the Shots
Living in fear as American culture imitates what it sees
Shooting sprees are on the rise, proof courtesy of the television screens
Will you lock yourself in your home and just hide,
Or go out and play God with a gun at your side?
Becoming a target or arming yourself
You're a victim of fear either way
Living in paranoia on the defense
Or taking the chance of being gunned down one day
So who's pulling the trigger, who's calling the shots?
Who is it that's controlling our fate?
We're all responsible for the environment we've created
Where none of us will ever be safe
Here comes the headlines and here comes the tears
The media feeding us our greatest fears
We see the horrifying images again and again
Children are being murdered by children
We just accept this as tragedies of life
What does this say about us?
When will we seek out some genuine solutions?
And show that we've all had enough?
Becoming a target or arming yourself
You're a victim of fear either way
Living in paranoia on the defense
Or taking the chance of being gunned down one day
So who's pulling the trigger, who's calling the shots?
Who is it that's controlling our fate?
We're all responsible for the environment we've created
Where none of us will ever be safe
As political experts discuss and debate
Who it is that's responsible for al of this hate
They're building their political platforms on a pile of corpses
Pointing their fingers and quoting us sources
Scapegoating is too easy for society's decay
Entertainment, music, drugs or the N.R.A.
What will it accomplish to pass stricter laws
When it's actually our apathy that's a much greater cause?
As long as we leave our apathy alive
We're killing our children's chances to survive
Our idealistic intentions are wrapped in a shroud
The responsibility rests with what we've allowed
A society that taught us to kill or be killed
Convinced that this is the only way to be fulfilled
I just hope that we realize before it's too late
That we ultimately control our community's fate
Becoming a target or arming yourself
You're a victim of fear either way
Living in paranoia on the defense
Or taking the chance of being gunned down one day
So who's pulling the trigger, who's calling the shots?
Who is it that's controlling our fate?
We're all responsible for the environment we've created
Where none of us will ever be safe
9.Capital Punishment
The United States is one of two remaining industrialized nations to
still use death as a form of punishment. There are approximately 3,000
prisoners currently living on Death Row. No other country in the world
has this many of it's citizens awaiting execution. If you support capital
punishment you support absolute political control at it's sickest
extreme.
Murder, murder, murder, murder
Why must we continue to murder
Those who've been convicted of murder
Enforced under the lie that it's deterrent of murder
Justifies their fucking murder
Sentenced to die
Sentenced to death
Capitol punishment
A tool of the terrorist
It's nothing more than a political weapon
It's not a deterrent
It's not a prevention
Kill one man
Spare another
Our justice system is based on color
Examine the facts
You have to face it
The American's crime
An eye for an eye will leave the whole world blind
Politicians who seek enhancement look towards murder for career advancement
They prey on fear and insecurity
To win support of the majority
Endorsing murder under false perceptions
Being tough on crime helps win elections
They're playing God
They have no right
It's premeditated political sacrifice
It's not about a murder or a crime committed
Not what was done, but who fucking did it
It's not about law or even justice
It's all about race and economic status
You can't judge a person by a stereotyped race
You have to look at the individual case
No life's returned by an execution
Another death is no solution
Their justice system is just our burden
The way they treat the average person
What about murder by government agents
Not capital punishment or even containment
These political pawns get away with murder
They're servants to the new world order
You'll see no outside intervention
Not a single death recommendation
10.Absent Minded
Fuck your racist stereotypes, fuck the Aryan nation
Fuck your anti-Semitism, fuck the Aryan nation
Fuck your homophobia, fuck the Aryan nation
Fuck your xenophobia, fuck the Aryan nation
Lacking understanding and longing for consistency
Small-minded bigots cowering in the face of diversity
Scapegoating the minorities for all of society's flaws
Projecting false statistics to legitimize their cause
The amassing of recruits has been rendered by deceit
Spewing racist stereotypes to influence beliefs
Brainwashed by the rhetoric that reaffirms their fears
Oblivious to the reality that prejudice never hears
They embrace their mental programming and misinterpret it as pride
Their heads have become the dumping grounds where stupidity now resides
Afraid of what they can't relate to in the world they're living in
It's pathetic that their loudest proudest characteristic is the color of their skin
Ignorance breeding ignorance until all rational thought is gone
Believing in their superiority while functioning as pawns
To manipulative politicians who plant submissive seeds
They're unwittingly enlisted into carrying out the deeds
Of a right wing agenda best served by impressionable minds
Exploitation's been perfected, conditioning's been refined
By manufactured insecurities that prey upon the weak
They've abandoned their sense of reason for the naiveté they speak
They embrace their mental programming and misinterpret it as pride
Their heads have become the dumping grounds where stupidity now resides
Afraid of what they can't relate to in the world they're living in
It's pathetic that their loudest proudest characteristic is the color of their skin
Fuck your racist stereotypes, fuck the Aryan nation
Fuck your anti-Semitism, fuck the Aryan nation
Fuck your homophobia, fuck the Aryan nation
Fuck your xenophobia, fuck the Aryan nation
I'm tired of the intimidation and manipulation that they use
I'm tired of hearing about another racially motivated attack
That's why it's so important that we never turn our backs
Our inaction and indifference provide the strength they get
When we keep our silence we invite this racist threat
Let's make these bigots as nonexistent as their minds
They don't deserve any sympathy that they can hide behind
They embrace their mental programming and misinterpret it as pride
Their heads have become the dumping grounds where stupidity now resides
Afraid of what they can't relate to in the world they're living in
It's pathetic that their loudest proudest characteristic is the color of their skin
11.Isolation Or Solution
In a system based on inequality where do you draw the line
Between fighting to stop oppression and perpetuating the same crime
When you start to define anyone simply based upon their gender
They you're guilty of the crime and wan equally wrong offender
It makes life easy to force people into simple categories
You're a man, you're a woman isn't that the same old story
And as a man society has mapped out exactly what you must do
Just as society has told all women what their roles are too
Too many times we think fighting sexism means creating a battlefield
With men on one side and women on the other and both sides ready to kill
But striving to find creative solutions to a problem that exists
Doesn't have to mean that it's her side against his
Can't you see, won't you see, why don't you see that I'm the problem?
Can't you see, won't you see, why don't you see that you're the problem?
Can't you see, won't you see, why don't you see that we're the problem?
Isolation or solution to the problem
A person's ability to fight sexism shouldn't be based on gender
Just because someone is a man doesn't mean he's a sexist oppressor
Or that he's blind to the problems that create gender inequality
And that he's blind to the problems that create gender inequality
And that he's not willing to do his part to help change society
Just as some women don't know exactly how to take a stand against gender roles
Simply because they're a woman doesn't mean they have all the knowledge and the tools
To break down the barriers of oppression and inequality that exists
Because it's the barriers between women and men that allows sexism to persist
Can't you see, won't you see, why don't you see that I'm the problem?
Can't you see, won't you see, why don't you see that you're the problem?
Can't you see, won't you see, why don't you see that we're the problem?
Isolation or solution to the problem
If you don't strive to stop oppression then you're part of the problem
Whether you're a man or a woman it'll take us all to fucking stop them
Men and women both suffer under he heavy hand of oppression
Both living gender roles that only lead to this suppression
Of our natural ability to communicate and live equally with each other
As a friend or a lover, as a sister or a brother
If our only goal in fighting sexism is to try and place blame
Then unfortunately we're all guilty of playing the same games
But if in unity women and men come together and take a stand
Then with our united goal we could bring sexism to an end
Can't you see, won't you see, why don't you see that I'm the problem?
Can't you see, won't you see, why don't you see that you're the problem?
Can't you see, won't you see, why don't you see that we're the problem?
Isolation or solution to the problem
12.Tax Shelter
Another vacant building is a tax shelter and nothing more
Cemented doors and windows keeping out the poor
What purpose does it serve to keep these buildings emply
Destroying our community to protect abandoned property
Functioning as financial loopholes instead of the housing they could make
Because those owning empty buildings claim a generous government tax break
So is housing just a luxury to b enjoyed by the upper class
Another right you don't deserve if you haven't got the cash
The trouble with ruling class financial tactics
Is that it's the people who need shelter not their taxes
Destruciton described as progress evicting people from their shelter
Renovating and rebuilding under the guise of making cities better
But who does this progress better by putting people in the street
Has it benefitted the community when construction is complete
Housing is not a privledge, not a luxury but a right
communities don't function any better with their problems out of sight
Our communities consise of more than concrete, brick and steel
It's made up of people including the homeless they conceal
The trouble with ruling class financial tactics
Is that it's the people who need the shelter not their taxes
Every inch of established land got that way by means of force
And by paying rent were forced to contribute to that source
With our communities our people suffer under this establishment
It's not about housing these are human rights they make us rent
Only the landlords profit as our lives are sold and bought
And those who fight this process get evicted from their squat
So while our leaders carry out these unjust squat evictions
They prove that freedom can't exist under capitalist conditions
The trouble with ruling class financial tactics
Is that it's the people who need shelter not their taxes
13.Media Blackout
Objective reporting no longer exists
The reporter's accountability has always been dismissed
The government keeps control with their hypnotized support and the media lends a hand when they consistently distort
Report to distort
Inform to reform
Suppress to repress
Media blackout
They compromise their principles and their integrity is lacking
How can they be unbiased with big business financial backing?
Money and deception is what the media's all about
Because if they can't supppress the media they just fucking buy them out
Report to distort
Inform to reform
Suppress to repress
Media blackout
We have to seek out the alternatives to the paper and the news
Their stranglehold won't weaken while we're force-fed all of their views
You have to think for yourself, always consider the source
Oppression of the people isn't always done with force
Report to distort
Inform to reform
Suppress to repress
Media blackout
