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 children | |
Telling lies, to our children | |
Telling lies, to our babies | |
Only truth, can take us... | |
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 children | |
Telling lies, to our children | |
Telling lies, to our babies | |
Only truth, can take us... | |
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: | |

They killed huey cause they knew he had the answer | |

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 | |

A potentially destructive force if we don't get freedom." |
