This is a spoken word I wrote.
We live in a society
Based on prosperity and regularity
Corporations depend on population to spend
Their hard earned cash to buy their trash and make a stash
And in the blink of an eyelash they'll dash and dart to the nearest Wal-Mart
And fill up a cart of stuff that in their heart they don't need
While the media feeds us lies about diseases and the drugs that cure them
I know you've heard them
And your wallet spills out all of its bill so you can get filled with pills if you have the chills
And you're hoping you don't get killed so you write your will and yet you're still feeling ill
And you get so wired trying to be hired
And when you do, you come home every night tired
And you're hoping you don't get fired because if you do that would suck
And you'd be outta luck trying to get a buck until you don't give a...
Crap
And if you're listening to this rap, and you agree with what I say
Then why do you pay all that money to stay alive while third world countries are struggling to get by?
And how do we help them?
With guns and knives and bombs that dive out of the sky
And if they're lucky we'll open up a McDonald's and sell fries to their wives who only strive for freedom
While we expand our kingdom
And we're too numb from rum and Tums that we ignore our own slums
I think it's kinda dumb
And it's a pity
Living in the city
Paying five fifty to some blokes for a pack of smokes that will make you choke
And it's a joke when Coke has a hoax on Columbia's blood-soaked earth
And baby's are being birthed without dads
And that's just sad
And it drives me mad how being bad has become some kinda fad
And I had a wad of cash, but I spent it pretty fast
Cuz in America, nothing's made to last
It just spreads vast like some kinda rash wanting to be scratched
So buy your latex and chew your steak
We're in the Matrix where everything is fake
But remember this my friend
That in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make
