Description
Backstabbers, Liars, Thieves, and Murderers Run The GovernmentIf there is one thing I’ve learned
About this little country of ours
It’s that somewhere along the line
Our government was taken over by criminals
The kind of people who we abhor
Not people that we can adore
People tell me I’m young and jaded
That most shouldn’t be hated
But that’s bullshit
When I see our government leaders
All I see is…
(chorus)
Backstabbers, liars, thieves, and murderers
They run the whole fucking country
Oh say can you see?
The innocent being ripped off and exploited?
Used to be a politician could go to jail like everyone else
But with power and money, you can get away with anything
People gotta take back the governments before we all get fucked
Political debate is now synonymous with a “Yo Mama” battle
Backstabbing, dirt digging, lying pricks who tattle
Like a bunch of third graders on the playground
Do we need people like them around?
FUCK NO!!!
(chorus)
And let’s get one thing straight
I’m not a conservative or a liberal
I hate most of them and most of their beliefs
I’m against political correctness and social sodomy
I’m against abortion but I agree with capital punishment
I’m against anti-gay laws but also against fucktard hate crime laws
I’m against censorship in any shape or form
I’m against conforming with the social norm
I’m against these strict fascist drug laws and the people who represent them
I’m anti-you and anti-me
I’m against a lot of humanity
I hate the so-called “Justice System”
Where you can buy your way out
Or be arrested just for looking a certain way
Be treated like you have a criminal record on a first time drug offense
Or how about being fined for speaking what’s on your mind?
And how is it justice, when a man kills another man in self-defense
Or when a man is sent to jail for killing a rapist who violated his daughter
Are sent to jail and treated like scum
(chorus x2)
The tax system? Hah! What a joke
You want to know what your precious taxes are being spent on?
I’ll tell you
They’re being spent on bombs and new sports cars for politicians
Instead of being used to help finance schools to educate kids well
So now we have dumbasses and drop outs populating our country
And even those inside are made into mindless slaves
Parks, and streets? No need to pay to fix them
Take the citizens money and spend it on yourself
Because your wife needs a new fur coat
And your son needs a new car
And you could use a new swimming pool
And is it fair that us poor shmucks who work our asses off
Get our paycheck decimated so badly by these dipshits and their taxes
Yeah, didn’t think so
(chorus x2)
You know what else? When we try to speak out we get knocked on our asses
Treated like shit, called “Anti-American”
Is that anyway to be? Religious, social, and racial equality
Is being thrown out the door for hypocrisy and greed
Too many assholes arguing when there are people who’re in need
They control your thought anyway necessary
When you try to watch TV, they have the corporations and the FCC
Negate free thought
Good thing there’s the Internet and DVDs so we can get the full message
From sources that satire and tell it like it is
The Simpsons, South Park, even so called “kids shows” like Billy and Mandy, Avatar
They tell us what the fuck is going on
Maybe not directly but through comparison, satire, and metaphor
Show us what is going on in this little country called home
(chorus)
(Tom Morello-esque guitar solo)
(whispered)
We need change, before it’s too late (x8)
(shouted)
We need change before it’s too late!
(instrumental section)
This is the voice of millions of pissed off people who are sick of being fucked
The little guy, the middle man,
The guy who was laid off so an illegal immigrant could do the job at half the cost
The teenager in a big city, who was arrested for dressing a certain way
The people who are assaulted and ostracized for their sexual orientation
The kids who are bullied at school cuz they don’t fit in, or obey mindlessly
The man who was arrested for killing a man to protect his family
The woman who’s sexually harassed at work
The girl who’s laughed at for not having the trendiest clothes
The teenage girl who’s pregnant, abandoned by family and her boyfriend
This is for the boys who were picked on for not participating in sports
The girls who were harassed for not being cheerleaders
Do you know why this happens?
Because your damn politicians and authority figures demand conformity
And if you don’t obey they use their power to beat you down
We got a word for that, it’s this: corrupted
(chorus x4)
(guitar solo)
Fuck politicians, fuck authority figures
Fuck them and their corrupt ways

Okay! A strong dose of reality, with plenty of the nihilism that almost inevitably creeps in. The 'ubs are just organized crime with politics as a front, the Dems have taken the concept that "a cynic is a frustrated idealist" and turned into an excuse for whiny apathy and de-facto corruption, and the only thing they agree on is keeping everyone else out of the system.

It's like what Lewis Black said:
"The only thing dumber than a Democrat or a Republican is when those pricks work together. You see, in our two-party system, the Democrats are the party of no ideas and the Republicans are the party of bad ideas. It usually goes something like this. A Republican will stand up in Congress and say, "I've got a really bad idea." And a Democrat will immediately jump to his feet and declare, 'And I can make it shittier.'"

This is a bit unrelated, but do you know of Bill Hicks? He was a very funny man and I think you'd like him.

The name rings a bell... I think I've heard some of his stuff, but can't think of anything specific. IIRC he was sort of a Carlinesque type, right?

Exactly. His stuff was epic and just plain hilarious. If you also listen to Tool, he's the comedian sampled at the beginning of the song, "Third Eye".

huh... well, u write songs well. and i agree our (actually that depends. u in amerika, too?) is corrupt rotting thing. but well, maybe ur goin overboard? it kinda depends on how serious u are about wat ur sayin, but is a corrupt economy so bad? it only allows it to rot and cruble that much faster, and allow a new, better regime to come into power (maybe a marxist one, perhaps...?)

Where do you work anyway? Some lame ass boring desk job I bet. But anyway, yeah I wrote this out of anger towards the idiocy of the two reigning political parties in America. It boils my blood and fuels my hatred. It's like throwing gas on an already enormous raging fire. Not bright, and dangerous. I'm not one to kill a man for being an idiot. I mean he can't help it, so it wouldn't be fair. But people who aren't stupid, but arrogant, ignorant, self-centered, hypocritical, and conniving. Those are the people I'd go after. On a completely unrelated topic, the new Harry Potter book kicks ass! Definitely worth the money.
