The comrades asked, simple and plain:
Yo, what the fuck does ‘power to the people’ even mean??
And what we ‘bout to do with all this freedom we reclaim?
Every clown needs a circus; every servant need a king
And besides - who died and left you with the golden ring?
Was your calling into this being received within a dream??
It seems to me all good things spring from seed, so
Why in the hell it is we need devilish men to lead??
Double X Y Z - Why try and intercede?
On B-half of these masses who have travelled overseas
Under pressure, under siege - millions of refugees
Are we moving into struggle, or just steppin’ to the beat??
Reddish rhetoric, guzzle up; gut in-digesting it
Remnants of a replica were cuttin’ up the messenger
Shreds of the evidence embedded in the letters
I addressed unto the votary in hopes of our progression
Militant drivel; simple made into monumental
Plenty cynical; fundamentally uncivil
Abundantly critical; eagle eyes, wide peripheral
Dirty blonde bomb blew the box-dye chemicals
Pupils saw the signals, told the teacher: “be advised.”
Senior leadership; wisdom; vision in the seeker’s eyes
See the House of God is built upon deceit and evil lies
All odds against regardless how hard the cheater tries
..Utter devotion to appearance
Suitable for slaughter, broken models of the fearless
I’ve forgotten how it feels to be so far away from nearness
Deafened by the madness of static interference
And the fear it’s rearing its hideous head is haunting
I’m hearin’ ‘em howl - the spirits of death taunting
Overwhelmed; chapfallen and downtrodden
Were you taught to ask for what it is you’re wanting?
When the mask is worn, whose form are you fronting?
Was it cast in stone, or borne from nothing?
Is it just war you lust or more than one thing
Try to ignore the warning but this storm is coming (the storm is done and..)
..Aftermath is catastrophic
Acid in the showers, we were powerless to stop it
Conceit eventually concedes to reason and logic
So conceivably the thief could be the demon and the prophet
Toying with the topic, it’s a tempting proposition
In my defense the ruse was used against the opposition
Tenets hidden well within the written composition
Those are gems only meant to be discovered if you diggin
Underground, are you listening?? Copy, copy, copy
You heard the kid was excommunicated from the party?
Some wonder where the wisdom when it’s whiskey in the body
Welcome back, Jack - compliments of Friends of The Folly
Bottoms up; bottom line: these are hard times
Say ‘goodbye’ to sorrow, I’mma swallow mine’s; hard try
Wrestle with a remedy - chemistry within me, what’s it off by?
Welcome to the shelter of the dark side; carve you out a
SPOT with a sharp knife; flag on the stake flap
Cold view; notice overdue on the estate tax
See the sands of the hourglass show the snake tracks
Everything they “giveth” they gon’ getteth on the takeback
...So what we leavin’ for the next gen?
Peace, prosperity, protection?
POWER TO THE PEOPLE is the vehicle to lead us to the Promised Land
I just can’t understand direction; stranded at the
Intersection, steppin’ into heavy traffic;
Already distracted, impact of unheavenly habits
I’m holding my own severed head, and happy to have it
HISstory’s epic’s are typically tragic..
CHORUS:
They say “it is what it is..”
They also say an awful lotta other dumb shit
Son, quit with that hypocritical bit, you better bet the
Guns gon’ click - get a grip; come equipped
Tarry not, run quick! Cops! Ring! Came knockin
Got that thing-thang cocked back; beam aim dot
Nina sing; songs sang like: PING! BANG! POP!
There go my damage deposit owed to MingShan Kwok (X2)
