Have you forgotten what it means to be human? I dont really want to take up your time Because I know you got a lot to keep you Preoccupied Got to get up for work Got to buy the new thing Got to get into church You say, Its best for me. and I know youre looking out for yourself And you never had the drive to even offer to help And you couldnt listen to it if it changed your mind You want to stay confined in the line and taste wine and now you sit in front of televisions Wishing you never had to wake up in the world you live in And so you do nothing about it, wait for somebody else All you do is get paid, eat a steak, pass out and it doesnt really make any sense Cause you believe that you wont do any bad and go to heaven But you never contribute by just numbing your brain Consuming everything without knowing what its ever like to feel pain Cause youve forgotten what it means to be human Lets take a walk until we think that we know with The sick and the mentally ill out on the road Who could never afford health care or control And youre saying that theyre lazy, they deserve to go? What about all the civilians that were killed in the east? They wont try to differentiate a terrorist and me? You think that that they we re justified, protecting our freedom? Freedom for what? Free to just sit and eat up? you say we got to liberate the people Let the Africans die since they have no resources Thats the way its supposed to be? But you wouldnt say it if you were the one to bleed Dont you see? They want to keep you asleep And your mind closedoff, never care about a thing But the car you drive, the iphone you buy That was made by a Chinese slave for a dime and youre saying cause were 1 But you never been to Canada and never been to Europe You just feed into the individualism of society Never even try to empathize in your entirety Youre thinking everything will happen for a reason Till youre raped by a man who believes in Jesus The governors paid by the WalMart sleaze And theyre setting up a shop where your mothers buried and you think its Gods destiny Let the poor be poor, and the woman be weak But Gods a getrich scheme, American dream You never think with reason, you just have to believe And youre saying that Im going to hell He can punish me now, smite me to the ground! Cmon motherfucker, I aint waitin around Go ahead you got the power, fucking strike me down! Im back You werent born with a silver spoon You worked hard and you earned everything in the room So you think if you can do it, anybody can too They were born in the same environment and values? The man whos overweight can lose it if he wants to? But theyre giving him pills instead of veggies and fruits, you dont Know what its like to be fucking oppressed To feel inequality, police beat you to death To be wrongly accused in jail for drug use Nobody wants to help theyre afraid of you Dont tell me that you know they can change Youve never been the opposite sex or orientation A different nationality or color or race A homeless soldier on veterans day Ignore science, take a leap of faith? No thanks, cause youre drinking from a bowl of koolaid You never want to step outside of your place Youre a fucking disgrace, get the fuck out my face But you learned it all in summer school Till they go on strike, youre a dumber fool They can never be fired in a union pool So they dont give a fuck if you become a criminal and youre saying Im a cynical liberal Pessimistic conspiracy theorist out of tune Ive been to the bottom of ladders and down and thats More than what youll ever fucking see from your couch Take the time and take a look at yourself Stop thinking if youre gonna go to heaven or hell Start learning what its like to be somebody else And offer to help when nobody else will Cause weve forgotten what it means to be human
never, forgotten, saying, theyre, fucking
