Your words are weapons so use them wiselyShooting down yah brothers with your lyrical bulletsTeaching the children to go to warDon't you know?Life or death comes from your tongueIt's poison or pleasure which side are you on?Cut down yah sister with your piercing melodies.Chorus:I am not the writerI am just the messengerThe end is nigh, don't close your eyesI've got something to say but will you hearI've got a burden to bearWho will hear let him hearWho will fight let him go to warWho will dare to step out of line andLive for truth withheld from all?Who will speak let him speakWho will sing let them say a wordWho will challenge the life we liveBy trying to forgive?Now everyday on the news the sameSomebody's dying and someone's to blameThey only tell you what they want you to hearThey speak of justice but nobody lives there.We need a miracle to stay alive,Cause breathing don't count no more we got to tryYou woke this morning thinking that you're freeOr is that what you're controlled to believe?Chorus:I am not the writerI am just the messengerThe end is nigh, don't close your eyesI've got something to say but will you hearI've got a burden to bear.I am not the writerI am just the messengerThe end is nigh, don't close your eyesI've got something to say but will you hearI've got a burden to bear.Now I am not pretendingFreedom is in endingIt's an illusion that you're fighting forYou're a slave to the system don't let them feed you lies no moreChorus
