Mumia Abu-Jamal, dead prez - Globalization (Scene of the Crime) lyrics
[Mumia Abu-Jamal, dead prez - Globalization Scene of the Crime lyrics]
The new name in the
Twenty-first century of Imperialism
Is really globalization
And when you think about that
When you read about that
When you study about that
Globalization really means the
Globalization of Capital
You don't hear people talking about
The Globalization of Labor
But, you know working people
All around the world
Have more in common with each other
Than they have with their own
So-called leaders or the rulers
The ruling class that is of the Society
So people should uh Globalize resistance
Globalize and that means
Globalization
Some kids get bombs for breakfast
And blowed away on their birthday
Ask the lil' orphan boy on Iraqi soil
What he think about the USA
Today was the worst day of his life
Uncle Sam killed both his parents
His village was burned to the ground
And they left him and his
Lil' brother to perish
Cus they want the oil in the soil
Like vampires they come for blood
In the name of freedom and justice
Nowhere to hide nowhere to run
First they send the soldiers
Then come McDonald's and Coca Cola
Toxic western culture
And once they take over it's over
Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck
Halliburton, 7-up, Walmart, exxon
Who cares if you get stepped on
Get stepped on in the name of progress they
Business has no conscience
All they want is profit's
It's obvious in Africa
It's obvious in Mexico, It's obvious in Cuba
It's obvious in Palestine, American invasion
Foreign occupation, Covert operations
Oppressive domination, Resiiiiiiist -
Yo, 2012 is approaching
No food on the shelves and
The system is broken
It's out of order, we out of water
And out of time out of my mind
Out of prime time with the propaganda
Make you wanna snap make ya pop the hammer
Call it what it is use proper grammar
Land grab call that gentrification
Micro chip Identification
Thats just fear and intimidation
Nine O'clock news interpretation that's
Got nothing to lose but our chains
Got nothing to use but our brains
Stop following the rules
And lets change the game, Resiiiiist
Blackwater, Ford Trucks, APAC
Starbucks, IMF, chevron
Who cares if you get stepped on
Get stepped on in the name of progress
They business has no conscious
All they want is profit's
It's obvious in Africa
It's obvious in Mexico, It's obvious in Cuba
It's obvious in Palestine, American invasion
Foreign occupation, Covert operations
Oppressive domination, Resiiiiiiist
These are the times Baby
These are the times, scene of a crime
These are the times baby to free your mind
To free your mind
Twenty-first century of Imperialism
Is really globalization
And when you think about that
When you read about that
When you study about that
Globalization really means the
Globalization of Capital
You don't hear people talking about
