Dead Prez - Propaganda lyrics
Intro: (news snippets) "Let me now turn, to our program for the future..." "The economy right now, is extremely supportive of the president and his policies" "FBI scientists have found chemical traces, consistent with a bomb or a missle, on a piece of wreckage..." "Police using clubs and tear gas against demonstrators..." "They called me a mother -(bleeped out)-ing so-and-so...and a white facist...like they said, 'you're getting some of your own medicine'..." Singing: Telling lies, to our vision Telling lies, to our children Telling lies, to our babies Only truth, can take us away Verse 1: You can't fool all the people all of the time But if you fool the right ones, then the rest will fall behind Tell me who's got control of your mind? your world view? Is it the news or the movie you're taking your girl to? (uh) Know what i'm sayin cause Uncle Sam got a plan If you examine what they tellin us then you will understand What they plantin in the seeds of the next generation Feeding our children miseducation No one knows if there's UFO's or any life on mars Or what they do when they up in the stars Because i don't believe a word of what the president said He filling our head with lies got us hypnotised When he be speaking in cold words about crime and poverty Drugs, welfare, prisons, guns and robbery It really means us, there's no excuse for the slander But what's good for the goose, is still good for the gander See... Chorus: I don't believe Bob Marley died from cancer 31 years ago i woulda been a panther They killed Huey cause they knew he had the answer The views that you see in the news is propaganda Singing: Telling lies, to our vision Telling lies, to our children Telling lies, to our babies Only truth, can take us away Verse 2: I don't want no computer chip in my arm I don't wanna die by a nuclear bomb I say we all rush the pentagon, pull out guns And grab the intercom, my first word's will be I believe Man made God, outta ignorance and fear If God made man, then why the hell would he put us here? I thought he's supposed to be the all loving The same God who let Hitler put the Jews in the oven We don't fall for the regular shit, they try to feed us All this half-ass leadership, flippin position They turn politcian and shut the hell up and follow tradition For your TV screen, is telling lies to your vision Every channel got some brainwashed cop shit to watch Running up in niggas cribs claiming that they heard shots It's a plot, but busta can you tell me who's greedier? Big corporations, the pigs or the media? Sign of the times, terrorism on the rise Commercial airplanes, falling out the sky like flies Make me wonder what secrets went down with Bob Brown (?) Who burnt churches to the ground with no evidence found? It's not coincidence, it's been too many studied incidents It coulda been the Klan who put that bomb at the Olympics But it probably was the FBI, deep at the call Cuz if they make us all panic then they can start martial law Chorus: I don't believe Bob Marley died from cancer 31 years ago i woulda been a panther They killed Huey cause they knew he had the answer The views that you see in the news is propaganda I don't believe Bob Marley died from cancer 31 years ago i woulda been a panther They killed Huey cause they knew he had the answer The views that you see in the news is muthafuckin propaganda Singing: Police is telling lies fooling millions What are they teaching our kids in these school buildings? Televised, enterprised in all the killing Controlling our lives, this ain't living No this ain't living Chant: FBI, CIA ATF, KKK IRS, TNT CBS, NBC FBI, CIA ATF, KKK IRS, TNT CBS, NBC Singing: Telling lies, to our vision Telling lies, to our children Telling lies, to our babies Only truth, can take us away News snippet: "uh, we view each other uh, with uh, a great love and a great understanding and that we try to expand this to the general, uh, black population and also people, oppressed people all over the world, and, i think that uh, we differ from uhmm... uh, some other groups simply because we understand the system better than uh, most uh, groups understand the system, and uh, with this realisation, uh, we attempt to form a strong political base based in the community with the only strength that we have and that's the strength of uh, a potentially destructive force if we don't get freedom." |
