[00:03.35] Governments lie all the time
[00:04.58]
[00:05.70] Well not just the American government
[00:06.98]
[00:07.51] It's just in the nature of governments
[00:09.84]
[00:10.54] Well they have to lie
[00:11.61]
[00:12.20] And since they all represent the people
[00:13.52] In some sense they act against the
[00:14.76] Interest of the people
[00:15.73] The only way they can hold power is
[00:18.52] If they lie to the people
[00:20.01]
[00:20.66] You don't know what I know
[00:24.59]
[00:25.24] You can't see the spreading state
[00:30.59]
[00:31.33] Of deception I am cruel to myself
[00:36.73]
[00:37.44] Things will never be the same
[00:41.59]
[00:43.76] If they told people the truth
[00:44.75] They wouldn't last very long
[00:46.09]
[00:46.64] I will hold my silence like a weapon in my hand
[00:55.95]
[00:56.49] If I used it I would murder myself
[01:02.20] You could never understand
[01:06.61]
[01:08.64] Columbus came ashore greeted with nothing but niceness
[01:12.03] Sailing west in attempt to find gold and spices
[01:14.61] Dominated by the popes in frenzy for ices
[01:17.56] The Catholic church expelled Jews and
[01:19.24] Claimed it was righteous
[01:20.22] The first man to see land would get a reward
[01:22.64] And get a yearly pension for life clearly from God
[01:26.00] A young sailor saw land said We isn't far
[01:28.84] Columbus lied said he saw it the evening before
[01:31.89] They touched ground they were greeted by the Arawak
[01:34.26] Columbus had them locked up as prisoners in an hour flat
[01:37.41] He wanted to find their source of gold and that was that
[01:40.32] And when they thought that wasn't fair
[01:41.96] Then he stabbed their back
[01:43.17] When there's no more gold he took slaves instead
[01:45.47]
[01:46.10] And left a quarter million Indians in Haiti dead
[01:48.97] The men died in mines the women died at work
[01:51.67] The children died from lack of milk
[01:53.17] And they died in the dirt
[01:54.84] They were just taking advantage of a passive people
[01:57.46] They were just being the savages of massive evil
[02:00.40] That's the church work that's the path of massive ego
[02:02.71]
[02:03.23] That's the blood of Abraham being stabbed by the steeple
[02:06.16] In 1619 they were patiently waiting
[02:09.04] For a ship that carried slaves
[02:10.46] That was changing the nation
[02:11.89] The white man was the cannibal praying to Satan
[02:14.54] Hatred contempt a pity of patronization
[02:16.58]
[02:17.40] That's the corner stone everything racism based in
[02:20.34] The African had a more advanced civilization
[02:22.58]
[02:23.12] Black was slave master was white rationalization
[02:25.64]
[02:26.19] 50 million dead that's Western civilization
[02:28.15]
[02:29.39] At first they appeared in the North
[02:31.63] And they were helpless in the face of superior force
[02:34.63] And all of them were chained together
[02:35.95] They really was lost
[02:37.63] Racism is a natural that's merely divorced
[02:40.33] Before the slave trade black was considered distasteful
[02:43.35] By the Oxford dictionary I find it disgraceful
[02:46.18] It's not a natural tendency to be bitter and hateful
[02:48.87] It's the natural enemy of the critical stable
[02:51.26]
[02:51.88] Slavery grew as the plantation system grew
[02:54.66] The reason for that's kinda easily traceable
[02:57.03]
[02:57.57] Society of helpless dependence was capable
[03:00.32] Of saying F**k a slave master you're in slavery too
[03:03.34] Seven slaves was put to death for murdering master
[03:06.11] Fear of slave revolt had them developing faster
[03:08.90] You a cataline killer ineloquent bastard
[03:11.74] I would burn the white man while smelling the ashes
[03:14.58] From time to time white man was part of the resistance
[03:17.39] White indentured servants wanted no part of the system
[03:20.41] King Philip's War showed that if people would listen
[03:23.02] That they can maybe break
[03:24.09] The complex chain of oppression
[03:26.00] Tyranny is tyranny but that's a concession
[03:28.86] But the women they was treated
[03:30.21] Like that of possessions
[03:31.84] Black women had it worse cause they was abused
[03:34.61] That's the white justification of Aryan blues
[03:37.55] The next move was to dominate the Mexicans
[03:40.10] James Polk dominated them like they was next of kin
[03:43.04] He sent Colonel Cross to lie to them and let them in
[03:46.02] 11 days later his skull was crushed so message sent
[03:48.87] We take nothing by conquest that was the mantra
[03:50.95]
[03:51.71] The military wasn't human they was just monsters
[03:54.59] Henry David Thoreau refused to pay his taxes
[03:57.41] Denounced the Mexican War and got locked in shackles
[04:00.39] The twentieth century opened anger reemerged
[04:03.10] The reality of ordinary life was being heard
[04:06.10] Anarchists and feminists came from factory work
[04:08.90] Communism socialism seemed to be re-birthed
[04:11.77] War is the health of the state is what Bourne said
[04:14.54] And if you was born around that time you was born dead
[04:17.36] The Espionage Act had people confused
[04:19.71]
[04:20.32] Cause it was double talk and
[04:21.40] They didn’t know how it’d be used
[04:23.14] Supposedly it was an act against buying
[04:25.76] Dubois knew that that was bullshit and they was lying
[04:28.30]
[04:29.19] Charles Schenck was arrested in Philadelphia
[04:31.07] For printing and distributing leaflets
[04:32.56] Cause they was helping ya
[04:34.04]
[04:34.67] He was indicted tried and then found guilty
[04:37.48] And spent six months in jail don’t that sound silly
[04:40.47] Had his freedom taken away by his own nation
[04:43.34] But there’s a lesson do not submit to intimidation
[04:45.48]
[04:46.04] The act still exists today and the shit is real
[04:48.95] Supposedly Kennedy tried to have that shit appealed
[04:51.73] Eugene Debs did ten years for no purpose
[04:54.54] He obstructed the recruiting and enlistment service
[04:57.66] The post office started taking mail privileges
[04:59.76]
[05:00.35] Of magazines who printed anti-war sentiments
[05:03.12] A Socialist named Fairchild had it right
[05:06.03] He said that they can shoot me
[05:07.30] But they can’t make me fight
[05:08.70] They sentenced him to a year in jail
[05:10.80] And that was reckless
[05:12.01] 65 000 men conscientious objectors
[05:14.07]
[05:14.62] They were sent to army bases to work there
[05:17.21] They were treated sadistically and were hurt there
[05:20.35] They were strangled with the hemp rope til they collapsed
[05:23.12] And officers punched they stomach and they lower back
[05:25.96] A garden hose was placed on they face with a nozzle
[05:28.84] About six inches from them so they couldn’t swallow
[05:31.82] The war ended in nineteen hundred and eighteen
[05:34.46] The government was just trying to wipe the slate clean
[05:37.31] Hemingway wrote Farewell to Arms
[05:40.07] Dalton Trumbo wrote Johnny Got His Gun
[05:42.88] The war was over but they didn’t learn they lesson
[05:45.76] Twin tactics of control reform and repression
[05:48.55] The patriotic fervor of war had been invoked
[05:51.69] That’s why the country
[05:52.67] That you live in is a F**KING JOKE
[05:54.70]
[05:56.09] You cannot be neutral on a moving train
[05:57.93]
[05:59.53] This is a story about the lies
[06:01.75] That your teacher told you
[06:02.92]
[06:04.59] This is real actual factual
[06:06.20]
[06:09.90] No lies in the whole record
[06:11.62]
[06:12.84] If you don’t believe me look it up
[06:15.79]
[06:16.49] I’m trying to share the shit
[06:17.63] That I learned with y'all
[06:19.37]
[06:21.18] Do the knowledge
[06:22.01]
[06:23.47] Your government does not care about you
[06:24.92]
[06:27.12] The people in power do not care about you
[06:29.50]
[06:31.34] Understand that
[06:32.02]
[06:33.13] Power to the people
[00:03.35] Governments lie all the time
[00:04.58]
