The juice media - Whistleblower lyrics

[Robert Foster] Good afternoon, viewers Thank you for clicking through to view this exclusive brand new edition of Juice Rap News Back through with a global transmission, with your host Robert Foster And we're glad to begin by introducing this routine interview scheduled today With our regular US guest, now Director of the NSA General Baxter (Hi) Can you provide via satellite an update on the state of empire? [General Baxter] Bob, I have to confide, I'm satisfied In fact I got no axe to grind Our Nobel-Peace-Prize President mastermind Has a healthy appetite for sending drones to smash the lives of brown children, uh m**ms I mean terrorist hoodlums (Egregious!) Goddamn right we agree it's just! Every American'll feel hot pangs of pride when they hear of this But guess what I'm most excited about that's finally happening (What?) The court martial of Private Bradley Manning Three years without trial, and a touch of torture That's how we punish dissent in the Free World Order After this no one will dare blow whistles, or leak intel Or question our right to read every single freaking email Oops (Did you just say you read everyone's emails?) What, emails? No, we don't read, scan, track, record and store every detail (At all?) No sir, not wittingly Perhaps a few billion emails... accidentally [Robert Foster] Okay, General We're just getting sent a signal It's the fearless journalist crusader, direct from Rio The guardian of civil liberties, Sir Glenn Greenwald (Robert, hello) Hi Glenn, what quest are you and your steed on? [Glenn Greenwald] A hero has leaked cla**ified documents, finally proving That the NSA has secretly obtained access directly to all the servers of Facebook, Apple, Yahoo, YouTube, Skype, and Google This PRISM system for spying on users from the dark side of the moon'll record everything, that arrives on screens Emails, chats, Grindr feed Robert, it took great courage from this whistleblower to decide to leak They've taken a great risk in getting us, their fellow citizens, this critical glimpse into what is really happening, behind the scenes [Mark Zuckerberg] (Mark Zuckerberg, your position?) Werd, sit back, listen You're rocking with Zuckerberg, f**ing nerd tactician (So PRISM?) What's that, PRISM? Never even heard of that system Yeah we got a program running, but we call it "Fascism" (Do your users like that?) A billion likes, cousin And if you dislike something, here's my "Dislike" bu*ton I'm in charge you f**ing turds; interview's over, finished, ended (Uh) Mark Zuckerberg, CEO, b**hes, unfriended! [General Baxter] (Uh, okay then. General, would you like to make a statement?) I'm disgusted (You are? That's amazing!) I had no idea that this could occur; it's devastating (Shocking, I concur; so will there be an investigation?) You betcha! We're gonna get those who broke their oath to the law (Wonderful!) And hold them responsible, this has gone too far (I think the whole world feels the same) Call Gitmo! I'm personally going to torture whoever leaked all this info (Wait, what?) We've become a frickin' culture of leaks What if every uppity geek who happens not to agree With the state's tyranny decided to expose it to all and sundry? (That might lead to a revolution) Indeed, see what I mean? Look, we welcome this debate, openly; free speech is sanctified (Okay then, does the NSA keep--?) Sorry, that's cla**ified! (So what are the laws for the--?) Eeng! Access denied! (Well, how can we see--?) Oops, debate time has expired! [Glenn Greenwald] (Hold on, we're picking up another feed, this time from Hong Kong.) (Glenn?) It's me again, I got an update on what's going on (Greenwald! We're gonna prosecute you for reason, I mean treason) Uh-uh, your threats are no match for my shield And you'll cower under the weight of words when I'm wielding my pen-sword By the power of Greenwald! (Uh, did you have an update for the people?) Oh yeah, now uh World, meet the brave leaker Edward Snowden He's made a video to reveal his motives for whistleblowing [Edward Snowden] (What's up, Edward?) Hey Glenn, what's up? (Yeah, what's going on here?) Me wan big up the At Steppa dem Ellsberg and Manning, you know what I'm saying eh? (Yo, Snowden, they're gonna come around here looking for you today) Werd? (Werd.

You know say Eddy-a Snowden dem gon bla-ame Fi leaking secrets out Dem NSA a sayna Eddy-a Snowden done betray de USA Fi leaking secrets out [Robert Foster] Well, dear viewers, that's about it for this edition But it wouldn't be complete without some final questions Whistleblowers: they leak in the public interest Now what remains to be known is: is the public interested? If so, this might be a good day to exhibit it Ignorance is a choice in the age of the internet Many consider this all very bewildering Some praise these acts as heroic, worthy of mimicking Others condemn them as illegal and prohibited But can't both be equally applicative? To be good humans we're sometimes called upon to be bad citizens Some nations were even born by breaking laws of the tyrannous Do you support heroes from days of yore, who in order to cause reforms disobeyed the law? Then what about those in the present who heed the same call? This is Robert Foster for Rap News, good day to you all
