Lyrics

It's time for some real world politics
Economics, history, math and english
Born and raised and bred walking a thin line
Between lost and succeeding and don't ever care about
The rules aren't changing it if you really tell it like it is
Threats always been there, terror always happens
For all the fights, for all the songs, all we said
All we have are these pictures of us
If it doesnt matter now, then it never really did
And without this, we might as well be dead
They're all black and white people
And that doens't have anything to do with us
After all these years its still an arms race
After all these years they still dont fucking get it
Lives and cultures matter more than capitalist interest
It's the fbi; its the cia; the saf; the imf, from hmos to mtv. fuck you
For all the fights, for all the songs, all we said
All we have are these pictures of us
And if it doesn't matter now, then it never really did
Without this, we might as well be dead
When you are so hungry that you'd believe anything
They're selling you the politics of starving
What the fuck does that mean to us
