"Nothin' But A Slave"

^{*writen Oct. 20, edited Nov 7*}

 Ten thousand years ago,
 birthplace of this experament.
 perhaps a worthy thing to try,
 but why... oh... why...
 have we taken the joke this far?
 
 what has been the benifit?
 what has it gotten us?
 many things of beauty,
 and our hearts full of shame.
 conquering this planet,
 to dominate this world,
 has been the meme passed down,
 to every boy and girl.
 we preach a monoculture,
 our way and only our way,
 if it doesn't serve our purposes,
 then we're not gonna let it stay.
 we define ourselves as different,
 god's favorite creation,
 superior to the world,
 but destine for damnation.
 our lives have become empty,
 our souls just shriek in pain,
 our money says "in god we trust,"
 and we pray for a quarterly gain,
 and I ask why... oh... why...
 have we taken the joke so far?

 full of vengful pride,
 and national histeria,
 we scream "United We Stand,"
 and "God Bless America."
 we have no sence of history,
 or of the cultures that we drown,
 no concept of the tao,
 or the world we're tearing down.
 no compassion for others,
 no compassion for our brothers,
 no compassion for ourselves,
 or even for our lovers.
 of our laws we're proud,
 human rights and a minimum wage,
 but never do we give a damn,
 if it ain't americans bein' inslaved.
 our very own companies,
 our very own corporations,
 can do whatever they see fit,
 if they do it in other nations.

 rape and pillage
 scorch the earth
 work'm for every-
 thing they're worth
 and bring it back
 yeah bring it back
 bring it back
 to the land of the free
 yeah, bring it back
 to the home of the brave
 cause if you're not american...
 then you're nothin' but a slave.

 rape and pillage
 scorch the earth
 work'm for every-
 thing they're worth
 and bring it back
 yeah bring it back
 bring it back
 to the land of the free
 yeah, bring it back
 to the home of the brave
 cause if you're not american...
 then you're nothin' but a slave.

 arabs?

 you're not human!

 mexicans?

 clean our streets!

 japanese?

 make us toys!

 indonesians?

 make us trinkets!

 africans?

 pay your debts!

 europeans?

 you're washed up!

 russians?

 you lost!

 starving iraqi children?

 feel our wrath, bitch.

 we think we are the chosen one's,
 we think god is on our side,
 we think that anything we do,
 mr. white beard smiles with pride. 
 so now we're out to kill,
 all who'd stand in our way.
 and it's a global act of treason,
 to shout "FUCK YOU USA!"
 now I am not a pacifist,
 not apposed to retaliation,
 if I'd had aim at a hijacker,
 I'd have killed without hesitation...

 but can you see
 the hipocracy
 when the world's first
 democracy
 plays dictator
 to the whole wide world
 we say let us in here,
 and on a landing strip there,
 so we can kill your neighbors,
 from the air,
 we send in our troops
 all around the earth
 'n tell'm "kill and arab
 for the land of your birth"
 cause we won't stand
 for any man
 to say america
 isn't first

 we want our oil
 and nike shoes
 it's against god's will
 for us to loose.
 so we won't back down
 or compromise
 cause we have vengence
 in our eyes
 our holy right
 to scorch the earth
 given to us
 by a right of birth
 has been put in question
 put in doubt
 so lets show these mother fuckers
 what we're about
 we won't back down
 or compromise
 we want bin laden
 dead or alive
 so bring him back
 yeah bring him back
 bring him back
 so the world can see
 that they best not fuck
 with the land of the free
 or little boy george
 will poke them in the eye
 and say with great compassion...
 "respect mah authority" 

 what do we expect
 of our little war?
 to kill the al qaeta
 and live in fear never more?
 do we truely believe
 that peace will reign
 just as soon as bin laden
 has been slain?
 are we truely so arrogant
 so insane
 to think american domination
 can be permanently maintained?
 
 what of the young ones
 in the middle east
 who see their countries invaded
 by american police
 do we think that they'll be thankfull
 for the law that we impose?
 if we only aim at extremists
 and usually hit pretty close?
 do we think they will celebrate,
 american domination,
 and forget about their neighbors
 who we've sanctioned into starvation?
 
 don't answer me that yet
 answer me this first 
 tell me how you'd feel
 with the surcomstance reverced... 

 Pat Buchannon
 hunted down
 afgan troops
 in every town
 washington D.C.
 laid to waste
 and the bush dinasty
 has fled in haste
 "it's for your own good
 can't you see
 you've been owned by oil
 you're not free!
 the TV avangelists
 have kept you down
 so we're gonna run them
 out of town
 they've killed a million
 in Iraq alone
 they're evil terrorists
 and they're in your home
 so go ahead and have
 some beans and rice 
 just don't fight back
 and all will be nice
 we want peace with the people
 who we leave alive
 so if you follow our morals
 we hope you thrive
 so just let us in
 to lay your land to waste
 and we asure you when we're done
 we'll leave..
 in haste."

Wake Up America

^{*Nov. 10*}

 Wake Up America.

 Look Around You.

 Smell The World.

 It's Smoldering.

 My generation basks in an abiss of apathy,
 seeking every fix we can find,
 to dull the workings of our mind.
 uppers, downers,
 what an array,
 to make the world just go away...
 TV, ciggurettes,
 asprin and E,
 won't the world just let me be?
 Turn off my mind,
 believe every word they say,
 more contradictions,
 every day.
 the home of the free,
 the land of the brave,
 proud of ourselves
 nomatter how we behave.
 what's with this wrath?
 what's with this pride?
 in calling those sins,
 do you think god lied?

 What is a terrorist?
 could it be...
 a little close to home,
 for the land of the free...
 someone who uses force,
 and violent action,
 to reach political ends,
 of their own satisfaction?
 someone who kills,
 in the name of a cause,
 to make a threat,
 to get their point across.
 someone who kills,
 with terror and flame,
 with no respect for law,
 or the "justice" game.
 Now I ask you,
 who's the terrorist?
 who's above the law,
 with their flaming fists,
 who ignores national law?
 ignores the UN,
 kills for their own benifit,
 because they can?
 who topples governments,
 around the globe,
 for not abiding,
 by their moral code?
 who holds threats away,
 from the whole of creation,
 with the promice of instant, atomic,
 inihalation?
 "Do as we say,
 or the bombs will reign,
 anywhere or everywhere,
 till all life has been slain!"
 Who, I ask you,
 won the last world war,
 by nuking in a moment,
 100,000 or more?
 who I ask,
 got their entire homeland,
 by slaughtering the natives,
 with every means at their hands?
 smallpocks and alchohol,
 intentionally spread,
 left more natives killed,
 than our guns left dead.
 
 What's with this pride?
 What's with this wrath?
 Wake up america,
 and do the math.
 
 Power corrupts,
 and we have a lot,
 it's time to remember,
 the things we?ve forgot.
 it's time to remember,
 that non-americans are human,
 let's get over ourselves,
 and our quest of consuming.
 it's time to remember,
 the things we say we stand for,
 and stop treating the world,
 like she's nothing but our whore.
 it's time to remember,
 that oil is not god,
 it's time to call off,
 our own global jihad.
 
 What do we stand for?
 equal rights for everyone?
 how dare we limit that,
 to just for americans?
 how can we say,
 we require fair pay,
 and allow our own companies,
 to pay pennies a day?
 how can we say,
 we support workers rights,
 when our shoes come from places,
 where you work under armed oversight?
 but we say these things,
 oh yes we do,
 over and over,
 till we believe that it's true.
 we say we stand for freedom,
 but it's only for ourselves.
 we say we stand for human rights,
 but with slaves we stock our shelves.
 we say we stand for peace,
 and our nukes back that decree,
 we say we stand for justice,
 and we kill you if you disagree.
 
 So what's with this pride?
 What's with this wrath?
 Wake up america,
 and you do the math.
 
 Power corrupts,
 and we have a lot,
 it's time to remember,
 the things we've forgot.
 it's time to remember,
 that all humans are human,
 let's get over ourselves,
 and our quest of consuming.
 it's time to remember,
 the things we say we stand for,
 and stop treating the world,
 like she's nothing but our whore.
