The Perceptionists - What Have We Got To Lose? lyrics
[The Perceptionists - What Have We Got To Lose? lyrics]
FEAR-or is it just lack of information?
THERE deep within the fabric of the nation
QUESTION-what will it take to
Break the walls?
ANSWER-strength from us and all of yall
Here's the stamp to the
People- repeat after me
Put your hand over your
Heart and breathe deep
"I will no longer pledge
Allegiance to a government
That makes no efforts to
Relieve my suffering!"
Tax inflation, home invasion-
Ask then what the fuck did
They do with our payments!?
Put aside the work
Then they claim we're complaining
Raise health care, cut back on education
The world's largest anti-war demonstration
Was answered by bombs dropping
And blood draining
Don't forget the rubber bullets and jail time
Catch it on the net- you can
See it in real time
You don't give a fuck about us
Why should we give a fuck about you
The system works for the few
There's plenty of us out there
Who might dare form and independent state
Where life is more fair
We'll have our own laws, own schools
Own cash too-
And none of these funds will flow to you
We're cutting you off cause it's clear
We don't share the same views-
What have we got to lose!?! NO MORE
And when we tolerate it for YOUR CAUSE
We'll be eliminiated
You're selling us dreams and lies but
We'll no longer be abused-
What have we got to lose?
It's the same old story-
You turn on the news the scene is mad gory
Another old boy in a suit collects glory
And tells us all to worry
Cause it's "Orange Alert!"
There's foreigners hurt
Let's hurry to the nearest bomb shelter
Deep beneath the city
To talk about these imminent threats
And janet jackson's titty
And which 'America's Top Models' are pretty
Whole time, got 'em cooking in the back
Is some shitty recipe
Meant for me and you, meant to be consumed
If we enigneer the food right
We could feed the room for cheap
And their organs hit the
Road while they sleep
Pump 'em full of nicotine till
They six feet deep!
(Peep this shit that's goin' on)
We no longer go along
With your disrespect, total neglect
And shitty checks (yeah)
It's time for the people to stand
Up and stop being used-
What have we got to lose!?! NO MORE
And when we tolerate it for YOUR CAUSE
We'll be eliminiated
You're selling us dreams and lies but
We'll no longer be abused-
What have we got to lose?
THERE deep within the fabric of the nation
QUESTION-what will it take to
Break the walls?
ANSWER-strength from us and all of yall
