This river's red with the blood of the innocent Spilled for generations Perpetuated ignorance Back from basic cables Today's not the day for hesitation Better act if you're able World peace is overdue Like overdose is over done Understand in between the products and the problems They're one in the same Both gunning for pain at close range There's no heart where the target's engaged Change for a dollar?

Like a groove on a gear Of a well oiled machine Shadowing truth for years When your friends are your enemies Like your allies are your nemesis They fight back with your own weapons Life is precious Destructions expensive and senseless Families are torn apart relentless Human beings degrade Bank accounts inflated Impoverished oppressed While oppressors stay sedated Television station Manipulation information nation sh** is evil Essentially imposed on good people by defeatists Elitists are elected to be leaders They perpetuate political impediments Really ain't no secrets Living where the belly of the beast is Dying just to wake up and unleash it Whose coming with me? Ain't no time to list the reasons If you hear me, either stand up or be leaving How we've been deceived Misery loves companies Blood money and greed I take ten steps and I draw A line in the sand Now you choose your side like a man, understand? What you pick may not be in the plans Who are you to raise you hand? I take ten steps and I draw A mural to the wall We should make a hero of us all I missed you at the final curtain call Don't know which one of us went first But both of us left earth
