Time - Flint State of Mind lyrics

Phony actors I dismiss them, when they talk I don't listen Grinding like a piston, to help flint my mission First things first, we handcuff the governor Then put all the mothers, in charge of the government The mayor was getting bottled water, journalists discovered it Lead stays in brain, Legionnaires is causing suffering The schools are falling apart but nothings being spent Black mold and rats, the teachers had enough of it The students won't put up with it Teachers doing sick outs Reminds me of the 30s, the motor city sit downs The national guard came with tear gas and bayonets Money's their puppeteer, they're all marionettes Then Reagan came, and shipped their jobs overseas Now you got foreclosed homes and rusty factories They say they got the truth but their facts are profanities America where you at? the system never had sanity So why you looking for the answers from Limbaugh and Hannity? You can't stop a pact of wolves, this the bonfire of the vanities Why is it news Cam Newton won't do an interview? The real news is why governor Snyder won't do one too He declined to talk and testify to congress But we got people doing life for weed, the system is a monster Over a million people came out for the broncos parade But where's the people for justice, let's pull the mask off the masquerade In 2014 people couldn't afford their water bill They shut off the tap but the golf courses had water still Even though they owed 1000's, this is how the system fails Then social services came and took sons and daughters Over a 200 bill because they closed the pipes for water The UN said it was criminal, the opposite of minimal Explicit racism, forget the subliminal Fast forward to the GOP debates in Detroit Rubio praises the governor, Snyder they anoint We journalists they don't wanna see us, forget Gilbert Arenas Shout to Amy Goodman the truth she helps us see it Flint is thirsty for democracy, d**h to hypocrisy It's like They're Greek oligarchs and were all Socrates No gods, no masters, no one is the boss of me Shout to flint defense league exposing all the mockery I hope they throw Snyder in prison and throw the key in the river So it could corrode, man that's justice delivered They privatize everything like the logic in their brain That's why your water is brown and their pockets inflamed They want IDs for water, they're rules are disgusting It's time to take the city back cuz they treat people like nothing They tried to save 5 million by poisoning kids Then they buried the facts but the truth can't be hid The people tested the water for lead by themselves Then held a press conference and told everyone else Direct action gets the goods that's mutual aid When we all come together that's when powers afraid
