Lyrics

Verse 1: The Human Animal

My mindset like September the 12th
Venomous wealth, nuke music make your brain cells melt
We play the hand that’s dealt with no remorse
Like it’s 1776 July 4th
Going block to block, door to door
This shit is war motherfucker, what you fighting for?
We got cause, reason, many forms of treason
This our country, our land, we not leaving
So when the sun start lowing and the radioactive fallout start glowing
I’ma hold y’all like Mary getting fucked by Joseph
As the wind blows heavy with the cries of the hopeless
I’m sick of talking about it, we gotta be about it
Politics is lived, you can’t just read about it
So while y’all waiting for the system to change
We mixing hydrochloric acid with beats and taking aim

Chorus: The Human Animal

And now democra sees a dead body, and wants to watch
(Free market market market mind control)
And now democra sees a dead body, and wants to watch
(Television, television)
And now democra sees a dead body, and wants to watch
(Free market market market mind control)
And now democra sees a dead body, and wants to watch
(Television, television)

Verse 2: Bigg Higg

They stick us in their labor camps and tell us to work hard
But work we do won’t benefit the populace at large
Basically we’re baking bread for those who are in charge
Who rule by force and force alone and never come to harm
But I ain’t down for toiling in your factories and fields
And earning just of portion of the produce that I yield
They say property is theft because it’s only what you steal
Workers breaking their backs and can barely afford meals
Capital, the owning classes living off our efforts
Factories in cities and railroads through deserts
The shallow graves of workers are our only way to measure
How we were robbed and cheated to increase our masters’ pleasure
We toil day by day while you relax taking in sun
Still can’t earn a living wage while loading sixteen tons
But we will not stay silent for the system, time has come
And we are here to end it, I suggest you bring your guns

Chorus: The Human Animal

Verse 3: The Human Animal

You see they say the same thing, it’s called a talking point
It’s so you never hear the real talk, that’s the point
They need to manage your perception with the things you read
It’s informative warfare, the lifeblood of the machine
See they market Presidents like brand names
Hiring Madison Ave firms to design campaigns
So they all yell “change” while the game gets disgusting
Everybody running their mouths but never saying nothing
Fuck em, all these corporate execs
Running the country like a company what the fuck you expect
When they develop a disease and own the vaccine
And millions begin to die cuz they patented the genes
It’s a sick scene seeing lines up the road
Cuz people living in tents and they begging for a home
On your own now, necks snapped off nooses
No respect for life so this government, useless
