ELEMENTAL ZAZEN lyrics : "Handcuffs"

Sick children on television wishing
Someone would just give them some money
So they don't have to be the victim

Behind them Christian televangelists
Make it the mission
Deny the aid unless they kneel and pray submission

Jesus saves
As long as you pay the bishop for permission
Repent the fact that you're abused

By the human condition
There's room for addiction
In every lower class tradition

Masking friction between
So called "masters" and the "wicked"
Poverty's fingers reaching everyone

Without forgiveness
At least if you're not white
Or in line to inherit riches

Everyone witnesses what is and isn't fiction
And goes home at night denying
That they contributed to the sickness

White people act like they're not racist
Cause they have a friend that's black
Or cause they've struggled

With their economic situation
Blaming minorities for what they call "complacence"
Facing openly racist conversations by administrations

The expectation that the jail is always waiting
Breeds hatred
Making reparations the logical compensation

First step is equalizing education
So the concentration camps we call the ghetto
Are home to more than desperation


Throw your mother$#&@ing hands up!
If you wanna see the president in handcuffs

If you think television has no answers
If you'll never be a slave to the cancer


The elected are puppets, figurines
Speakers for the invisible leaders of the regime
Felons who live on selling the american dream

Scaring the people with evil extremes till they scream
I've seen armies of human machines
March in green fatigues

Fight for the love of the blood
And their obscene beliefs
Ignoring others that grieve

Brother and mothers receive
A punishment that exceeds all
But the wickedest greed

Never a choice to concede
We'd rather struggle to breathe
Fight till we drown and recede

Than sit around and mislead
I'll spit a round in the seed
Of who's not down to defeat

Delete clowns and the sheep
Till we surround the elites
Show them the aftereffects

Of all the taxes and debts
All the iraq's that reflect
The way their facts are suspect

I'll be unmasking the threat the everlasting regret
Those little !@$(s will get
When we start blasting the set


Throw your mother$#&@ing hands up!
If you wanna see the president in handcuffs

If you think television has no answers
If you'll never be a slave to the cancer
