| Feeding our children miseducation | |
| No one knows if there's ufo's or any life on mars | |
| Or what they do when they up in the stars | |

| He filling our head with lies got us hypnotised | |
| When he be speaking in cold words about crime and poverty | |
| Drugs, welfare, prisons, guns and robbery | |
| It really means us, there's no excuse for the slander | |
| But what's good for the goose, is still good for the gander | |

| I say we all rush the pentagon, pull out guns | |
| And grab the intercom, my first word's will be i believe | |
| Man made god, outta ignorance and fear | |
| If god made man, then why the hell would he put us here? | |

| Big corporations, the pigs or the media? | |
| Sign of the times, terrorism on the rise | |

| It coulda been the klan who put that bomb at the olympics | |
| But it probably was the fbi, deep at the call | |
| Cuz if they make us all panic then they can start martial law | |
