Tunna Beatz - Bad Influence lyrics

[Intro - sampled from Michael Moore's 'Bowling For Columbine'] Jason Janz: "Some will be so brash to ask, if we believe that all who hear Manson tomorrow night will go out and commit violent acts. The answer is no. But does everybody who watches a Lexus ad go and buy a Lexus? No. But a few do." [Static] Jason Janz: "If Marilyn Manson can walk into our town and promote hate, violence, suicide, d**h, drug use and Columbine-like behavior, I can say, not without a fight you can't." [Verse 1] Now I'm not an expert on this kind of matter But you've got to agree that there's nothing sadder Than a bunch of 'Gangsta Kids' running around Using profanity and racist words on the playground And you blame hip hop? That's where you flop It's the parents that raised them to be a rotten crop Speaking of which, what is it with rap these days? Talking about money, weed and blowing people away It's all the same subject matter, mostly lust and greed No wonder your kid's chasing money and smoking weed! Do you really think your teachings for your kids are strong? How come you never told them doing those things is wrong? Of course a shooting came along, with bodies on shelves They blame Manson 'cause they can't blame themselves! If I made a track about gun crime and kids die Will you all turn around and say I'm the bad guy? [Hook] Is it another case of Scapegoats in the media Or are these parents Really incompetent? 'Cause now it's got me sitting And it's also got me thinking Who's really The bad influence? [Verse 2] Look at all these 12 year old little squeakers Locked in their bedrooms, violence in their speakers With all their Call of Duty and their Halo games They could get the violence stuck in their brains And parents playing video games? f** their score streak! You had a toddler dying at home across the street! And you blame video games when things get hectic I mean Daniel Petric? Should've stuck with Tetris Then Manhunt becomes linked to a horrific k**ing As if violence on the news isn't any more thrilling(!) But regardless, I also play video games too Injustice, Left 4 Dead, Saints Row, just to name a few But the difference between squeakers and I Is that I don't scream at the game when I die But I'm rambling now, so before it all gets worse You can blame video games, just look at yourself first [Hook] [Verse 3] With all that in mind, who's really the bad influence? Who's really helping and who's really incompetent? Just look at ISIS and all the people they slew And don't get me started on the Jacka** crew! People say censorship can help us rest our head Did you forget when Budd Dwyer shot himself dead? He was on live Television when he did that sh**! If you don't want such an effect on kids, don't let them watch it! Unless you want Natural Born k**ers down the street k**ing strangers and loved ones, till blood is soaking their feet And attitudes to media's sour like lemons in your nostril When kids slice each other's achilles heels like Hostel So with all that said, who's more to blame? That violent video game you let your kids play at 8 Or you as a parent for allowing them to do so? Let's use our brains for once. Let's give that idea a go [Hook] (Now it's got me sitting And it's also got me thinking Who's really The bad influence?) [Outro - sampled from Michael Moore's 'Bowling For Columbine'] Michael Moore: "If you were to talk directly to the kids at Columbine or the people in that community, what would you say to them if they were here right now?" Marilyn Manson: "I wouldn't say a single word to them. I would listen to what they have to say, and that's what no one did."
