Chumpchange (track 3)

Hook
(Art Is)
You Hope for change, that it will come some day....
Flip a coin, decide your fate.
Two sides but the coin is the same,
Even if we pray, might as well be in vain!
Call me a slave with economic chains
Try to hold me down, you will never contain!
This time "your best" WILL NOT DO!
I declare war on you......

(Katharsis)
Just another wolf in sheep's clothing,
We're all primed and proud because we're voting now..
Financial Warfare to Corporate Welfare,
Natural Disasters and Mandated Health Care.
We needed more than the old alumni,
And Goldman-Sachs style Wall Street drive-by's...
From the corner of Pennsylvania & Executive,
Get up on this mic, show you my prime directive is:
Pure impediments, cathartic cardioids,
We're on this case like the Motherf***in' Hardie Boyz!
Disappointment from the Oval office,
"Like, You was the one who was supposed to stop this!"
So now its H.ell O.ver P.eace on E.arth
You got U.S. under SOS policies just like the last jerk!
Waterboards to wiretaps, we fire back
And show these chump-change outfits some higher scratch.
Politicians seem to be all the same,
both sides of the coin giving nothing but chump change.

I wrote a letter to the President, the other day
I hope he opened it and read in front of all those govt suckas!
Think they could do with their Army or whatever,
Picture me not givin' a damn. I said never.
Drop a bomb, drop a sitcom
Dot com, .50cal in the bunker of your front lawn,
All you do is talk and babble on,
While Babylon is burning from the center out!
The Beltway is bulging way over the buckle,
While you're diggin in my pockets saying "give to the struggle!"
It's a jungle some times it makes me wonder,
Little change has come under x2
Reaching in my pockets all I get is chumpchange,
Switching up my, dollars making the faces look strange,
Metallic strips in tha fibers to keep eyes on my stacks,
Like the All_Seeing_Eye on the Dollar bill's back!

They can try to hold us down its up to us to contain,
Take a trip to inner-cities, get a good look at pain
Get a good look at rage, all the anger displayed,
Through all the violent crimes, now maybe they'll hear what we say.
Guess it's true what they say, that when the blind lead the blind,
Subtract a spine, they're bound to lose their way.
I thought we were created equal and loved the US of A
Dr King was the last hope until he left this place.
I vow to never let the govt take me without a fight,
Or to stray from the path, always follow the light.
It never was a mystery that the population struggled,
Empty stomachs fell asleep to the loud melodic rumbles,
And now our leaders fumbled, 4th & Goal on the 10,
They never thought that the strong safety would blitz,
And if its gone, then it don't exist like our Constitutional Rights,
Fathers on child support, dressed in black & white stripes,
But where's the justice for the itty bitty baby
when you lock his daddy up over money he wasn't payin...
