MC Frontalot, Mega Ran - Black Box lyrics
[MC Frontalot, Mega Ran - Black Box lyrics]
People are incredibly cannibal some indeed
All of the time
Anonymous animals eating fruit off the vine
And I mind when the vine fruit eaten is me
Disenfranchisement of Frontalot MC
Come and be skeptical, come and see spectacle
Bear witness to misdirects I expect to pull
As I get let full access to the war chest
I’ll afford you any outcome come on
Shout some requests!
Like: Yea on the vote for:
I get to count votes
Contract to me? Don’t you see shit floats?
And I hope I don’t break
My back in the battening
Of hatches indicate a smattering of latches
Under oath, and we’re covered, it’s cool
Under those, exquisitely tooled
Patchwork of fail-safes and tamperproof seals
At which the hax0r kids scamper with zeal
But it still don’t matter who proves concept
Long bet against it getting
To committee non-threat
Give you any vote you want
Never once get caught
At the election emporium of MC Frontalot
My black box, that’s what I used to vote with
Till I realized that I’m still a culprit
Well, let me explain, I’m hip to the game
Listen carefully
So you don’t get caught up the same
You see, I used to vote faithfully
But nowadays i’d rather just wait and see
‘cause these folks
Never cared about saving me: since slavery
Look what they gave to me
Since way back when, check it out
We was all taught in school that we could
Each make a difference
Now I realize that history is
Written by the winners
And it’s all just misrepresented
You cast your vote? How can you be sure
That the machines that you’re
Using are totally secure?
By television, books, even teachers at school
You’re better off playing the Lotto
‘cause you’re gambling with your future if
You choose to follow
So I’d rather sit at home with
My hand on the bottle living for today
‘cause I don’t care about tomorrow
Radical claptrap will bubble at the edges
Of the citizenry among the
Young and the restless
But the free and the young
Never battle for nothing
They let me pickpocket votes
Take the roads but they’re bluffing
And gone are the days
Tombstones on the voter rolls
Now it’s all ports and diodes and nodes
And stickers and trucks and look
We’ve got it in hand
Go read the tinhatterati
You want a sinister plan
Just trust we deliver on the balloting day
You need deniability while you’re
Pretending to pray
And I’ve got to get to work
‘cause you’re ten points down
And I better be your co-chair
I built this town!
If you’re looking for a bargain
On a way to prevail
Ohio and Florida are still on sale
But, I’ve got to charge a
Lobbying fee for the service
'Cause folks want to vote and
They’re making me nervous
People are incredibly cannibal some indeed
All of the time

And I mind when the vine fruit eaten is me
