alpha beta omega

search and you'll define the sky between the lines

i could never tell truth from victim escape's a tired line

knock knock

something's creeping

laying down the land smear on the wicked

now if you're ready to bleed

turn your head

turn your head

from the right

follow me

give chase to my shadows disarmed with a whisper

no gun in my hand whatever happened to honor brother

fight me man-to-man

look me in the eye

i've got a family to feed

will i learn from this? what can you teach me?

it's out of control

the times are crazy

we don't care who sits on the throne

doesn't matter to most of us

just don't mess with the status quo

lies paint my picture everyday

every stone's been thrown

lay siege to my kingdom

my cover's blown

your blind dealing with death

every dollar

a headstone

where the rich get richer

the poor just multiply

that's smart

divide and conquer

i keep 'em entertained while you steal their hard earned mule

was there ever a time we dreamed for something better?

right now sounds real good but your telling me to wait for fairer weather

let it rain

fire from the sky

heaven help us

only the strong should survive

with permission

i'll make this my personal mission

save me from the fire

yes sir

yes ma'am

i get the picture

we educate the masses whose gonna be cooking our dinners

such a waste of time

thinking we have to raise our own sons and daughters

when you can pay below the minimum

shoot that man

may i follow up that order

but all this talk don't come cheap

we all know what has to be done

our very own personal revolution

revolution revolution revolution

revolution revolution

revolution revolution

revolution revolution

let it rain

fire from the sky

heaven help us

only the strong should survive

with permission

i'll make this my personal mission

save me from the fire

fire. now here you come walking into my part of town

telling people you have such a solution

quick fix

you got a story

boy meets girl

stop

they have kids

poppa works while 'ma raises the ten babies

she's praying every night that they'll one day hit the jackpot

nine lucky numbers win the lottery

a million gets me out of this hole

but when the well dries up

oh

where do i go?

little pablo doesn't even know how to read or write

i'm starving sweet ana so i can get a good price for her

2 down 8 to go

oh wait

he's got good skin tone

got nice smile

an accent

but kinda smells though

so where do you think you're going talking that kind of talk

that doesn't happen

not on my watch

no

that doesn't happen

i ask you all to bear witness to the rape of these young souls

let's give 'em a fighting chance and see where this all goes

i ask you all to bear witness to the rape of these young souls

if i don't do anything let's see where this all goes

i ask you all to bear witness to the rape of these young souls

they got front row seats

don't tell me they know

i ask you all to bear witness to the rape of these young souls

they don't need your donation

what about education

i ask you all to bear witness to the rape of these young souls

no amount of praying's gonna change their woes

let it rain

fire from the sky

heaven help us

only the strong should survive

with permission

i'll make this my personal mission

save me from the fire

fire.
