The Forword by Evol Intent Lyrics
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
And 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 congress member 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
It's the orchestra of war
Apocalyptic prequel
Halliburton stay murkin'
Skull and bones keep it legal
We be underground
Fire fucking rounds back lethal
Put the vinyl to the needle
Let them hear them desert eagles
'Cause these suckers have been hypnotized
Don't see the news like we do
Story of us making mockeries of God
Their minds feeble
If the government wanna go and act a fool
Then let 'em know that my hand gonna pack a tool
From the slums and the dirty air
All the way to the two one fade murder capital
Republican or democrat
Neither one will pay
'Cause the bank owns the government
We're all some 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 old merchants
They are working with the man behind the curtain
You should be concerned with
The era of diversion
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
And 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

Well, I'm not going to leave you alone
