The Foreword by Evol Intent Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 2008

I don't have to tell you things are bad
Everybody knows things are bad

The dollar buys a nickel's worth;
Banks are going bust;
Shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter;
Punks are running wild in the street
But there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do
And there's no end to it

We know
The air is unfit to breathe
And our food is unfit to eat
We sit watching our TVs
While some local newscaster tells us
That today we had fifteen homicides
And sixty-three violent crimes
As if that's the way it's supposed to be!

We all know things are bad '
Worse than bad '
They're crazy
It's like everything everywhere is going crazy
So we don't go out any more
We sit in the house
And slowly the world we're living in is getting smaller
And all we say is, 'Please
At least leave us alone in our living rooms
Let me have my toaster and my TV
And my steel-belted radials
And I won't say anything
Just leave us alone....

Well, I'm not going to leave you alone
I want you to get mad!

I don't want you to protest
I don't want you to riot
I don't want you to write to your Congressman
Because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write

All I know is that first
You've got to get mad
You've gotta say
'I'm a human being
God dammit!
My life has value!...
This is your new world order
The intent evil
Stack bodies stack bills
Steal power from the people

This is the orchestra of war
Apocalyptic prequel
Halliburton stay murkin'
Skull & Bones keep it legal
We be underground
Fire fucking rounds back evil
Put the vinyl to the needle
Let them hear them desert eagles
'cause these suckers have been hypnotize
Don't see the news like we do
Stop the others making mockeries of God
Their mind's evil

If the government wanna go and act a fool
Then let them know that my hand's gonna pack a tool
From the slums to the dirt, they get ya all the way
To the two one fit for the afternoon
Replubican nor democrat
Neither one will pay
'Cause the bank owns the government
We're all their fuckin' slaves
This shit is wild and urgent
You smell that fire burning
Nothing to be concerned with
The Era of Diversion
Fox News and "W"
Are fuckin' Halliburton
Nothing to be concerned with
The Era of Diversion
FEMA, fuck, Katrina
Yeah, that's for certain
Nothing to be concerned with
The Era of Diversion
These ol' merchants
They are working with the man behind the curtain
You should be concerned with
The Era of Diversion
