An Open Reply to the Ravings of Mack Layne Lyrics by Hermitofthewoods
The Woods Are Burning
2007
[Intro] Samples: “So, what happened?” “You cannot play God, then wash your hands of the things you’ve created. Sooner or later, the day comes, when you can’t hide from the things that you’ve done anymore.” “We sold nuclear secrets to Libya, Iran, and North Korea. We set out to encourage fanaticism, resentment, and terror. We choose death, which is furthering commerce and unifying the country. Americans saw the chaos, the grief, and joined in a common purpose to fight and destroy And the depth of their hatred is equaled by the madness of the United States military. We are stronger than ever and we will prove it to the world!” [Chorus] I know you think its fine but I don’t play Because everything is not ok And to you it doesn't matter at the end of the day But the day is long - I’m not ok Saying Oh Mack Layne you don’t know what you say Because everything is not ok I know you think its alright but I don’t play Because everything is not ok [Verse 1] Dear Mack The blowback from terrorist acts ain't accidental If that cracks your mental You obviously lack the passion for fundamental Understanding of the planning that went into the construction of your system Its time we give you Christians a taste Of what it means to be a victim You know there are too many questions That you people let go by unanswered You had your chance to kill the rancid cancer But you advanced on plants and Panthers Instead if the fancy dancers Strutting the halls of the nations capital The actual culprits have been on the pulpits Spitting shit like it’s factual And I know the militia you belong to Is going to disagree with me Cause I’m just a dumb fuck Canuck MC Who’s pissing in the breeze But do you expect me to believe what went on At the Pentagon? Or that CentCom wasn't involved When Jazeera and Abu Dhabi got bombed? Did you think I wouldn't notice You never tracked that anthrax? Or that I wouldn't feel the whip crack Of the Patriot Act all on my back? Or actually read the Mission Statement From the National Security Council site? Or see that the only missing kids that get coverage Are pasty white? You can’t see that Left is Right And Right has left the realm of reason Into Treason in the 1st degree and sold as holy freedom You’re not deceiving me, Mack Not even most of my generation I want the obliteration of the occupying armies in a hundred and forty-eight nations My patience is war torn and Shorn shorter than bald heads And when the fall sheds red They’ll stop stalling because they’re all dead And I’m fed up with embedded men Who drop their pen to play soldier Cause they've abandoned their posts Most appallingly they’re following orders I don’t buy into Jessica Lynch or Pat Tillman In fact I don’t believe those Iraqi civilians Liked it when you killed them You know, just because you say it Doesn't mean that its true And just because you hear it from the top Doesn't mean they’re not lying to you You've got to stop pushing it through like its real news because it isn't It exhibits an underlying truth But there’s proof it’s not what you’d envisioned I’m going to obliterate your whole universe To put an end to your worthless purpose So the whole world a service And just scratch you off my surface [Pre Chorus – EMC] Scratch you off my surface [Chorus] I know you think its fine but I don’t play Because everything is not ok And to you it doesn't matter at the end of the day But the day is long - I’m not ok Saying Oh Mack Layne you don’t know what you say Because everything is not ok I know you think its alright but I don’t play Because everything is not ok [Verse 2] It’s such a goddamn shame That you’re so indicative of a generation Who bought into Birth of a Nation And John Birch style celebrations Preservation of a creationist controlled Pax Americana Well the fatal flaw Is the fact that you’re not living in antebellum Alabama My lyrical stamina’s slamming you And back handing you because I’m tired And I’ll throw everything I can at you I’ll spit fire until it gets rewired Until your kids retire and expire And there’s no one like you left Until they draw their final breath I’ll watch their every singe step Plain and simple your perspective Is defective and gets rejected I don’t respect it or how you protect it I’m on some hectic next shit check it I wreck your twisted thesis And write graffiti on the walls In the bathroom stalls of the halls of power And suburban outlet malls Inaugural Balls And wherever trouble calls that’s where you’ll find me Unless your buddies try to confine me Undermine and redefine me But justice isn't blind, see, and I’m the bottom line Its time your kind was paralyzed for poisoning our minds [Verse 3] I've weighed the options And dropping you is sounding better by the second You've made it awkward to be stalking through this pounding weather And I reckon That you’re just a tiny speck In a collective carcinogenic infection And if I want to change direction I have to pass inspection and take elections Rewrite whole sections; revise selections For the protection of the people Who don’t see the “equals” Between your attitude and what you preach as evil So before we see a sequel We freaks will teach the knowledge Until both your way of life And the Electoral College are abolished Kiss my ass Hermit
