A revolution never come with a warning
A revolution never send you an omen
A revolution just arrive like the morning
Ring the alarm we come to wake up the snoring
They tellin you to never worry bout the future
They tellin you to never worry bout the torture
They tellin you that you will never see the horror
Spend it all today and we will bill you tomorrow
Three piece suits and bank accounts in Bahamas
Wall Street crime will never get ya to the slammer
Tell all the children in the arms of the mama's
the F - 15 is a suicide bomber
TV commercials for a pop-A-pill culture
drug companies circle in like a vulture
Amer-Iraqi babies with a GI Joe father
10 years from now is anybody gonna bother
Everyone addicted to the same nicotine
Everyone addicted to the same gasoline
Everyone addicted to a technicolor screen
Everybody trying to get their hands on the same green
From the banks of the river to the banks of the greedy
All of the riches taken back by the needy
We come for the country and we come from the city
Play us on a record you can play us on a CD
All the chit you given us is fertilizer
The seeds that we planted you can never brutalize her
Tell the corporation you can never globalize it
Like Peter Tosh said... legalize it
Girls and boys and the bass and the treble rumbling
the speakers and it makes you want to rebel
Throw your hands up and take it to another level
and you never ever ever make a deal with the devil
Yell fire oh yo yo yo
