Class War

Me? I started a class war? C'mon. You gotta be kiddin.
It was goin on before I was born. It ain't even all that hidden
It might be forbiddin. On your corporate controlled nightly network news
But I'm about to bring a few reviews to make Ol Mr. Buffet sing the blues
Cause I can't really start a class war no matter what I do
But MAYBE... the one stirring up a class war was YOU!

*Cause when you forced serfs to work your plantations (plantations)- That's what started your class war!
*Disney's Sweatshops full of Hatians (Workin for the mouse!)- That's what started your class war!
*Bernie Ebbers' billions in Worldcom Fraud - Yeah that's what started your class war
*Unleashing Fire Hoses and Dogs (and Tazers!) - That's what started your class war

There was class war in 1215, class war in 1492
And when they put the Irish in those work houses that was class war too
Draggin Africans overseas, whipping them till they bleed
Took too many to feed and Oh, a few of em got disease
So hey let's throw em in the sea, What the hell, they're property
And you still wanna say the one stirrin up a class war is ME?

*Nah, when you put people in chains (in chains) - That's what started your class war
*Deliberately destroying their brains () - That's what started your class war
*Warrantless inspections? - That's what started your class war
*How about syphilis injections! (remember Tuskegee?) - That's what started your class war

Remember United Fruit using U.S. troops on the Guatemalan poor?
Remember Ronald Reagan's boy Ollie North in Nicaragua & El Salvador?
Remember CIA assassinations in Chile, Panama, Ecuador?
Destroying those duly elected democracies you lying hypocrites are always claiming to be for
Yeah I'll tell you right where you can STICK your starting class war
Your PR firm can help you spin it. Don't knock it till you're finished.

*Cause IMF funds & World Bank Loans (Loans) - That's what started your class war
*Who, who jailed Mother Jones? (You know who!) - That's what started your class war
*Who's tellin lies to your vision (television!) - That's what started your class war
*Who's closing schools but building prisons? (That's where the money is!) - That's who started your class war
That's who started your class war
That's who started your class war
That's who started your class war

Not me. You know. It's just a simple case of what you reap still being what you sew.
That's why you look around these days and you see so many revolutionary cats
because when you have a whole society built on rat race, you got winners...
but they're rats
