Well if it isnt the notorious DIZ The only citizen here who doesnt need ID Cause hes on more TVs than the BNPBC Look, Im not part of this media fallacy Theyve never been very partial to impartiality Me, Im just interested in your armys strategy of resistance So your paper can sell the story Look the governments position is totally celebratory Like, Terrorist Captured! While ignoring the other Rebel Cells that I know are still asleep As your supporters keep shrouding you in a veil of glory But, I think youre more than just a martyr So, come on, tell me your side Ill try not to tell it poorly Why? So you can quell your need for speaking of something worthwhile? Your empty gestures of freedom in a medium youre servile to? Ive read your small print Its all tinted with false sentiment Who edits your bullshit after you sent it in? Look, no government censors spin my words Just editors whose job is to insure Their writers dont end up as prisoners You fight the system with bombs I fight it with words I see no reason to hit a brick wall fist first You fight the system Like a rat fights its treadmill Churning sawdust to keep the peoples heads filled A pen wielded by a puppet isnt a weapon Its quite clear Were at war right here And these days a sword is mightier Hey You call it a treadmill, I call it an escalator Plus its the generator that powers your grandmothers respirator My grandma died of cancer from two nuclear reactors That were built in spite of her protests, with her taxes Cancer Well, thats another kind of rebel cell You know how those rebellions end Its never well Equating dissidence with cancer is next level fascist The kind of thinking that creates states that need rebel activists I support change for the better Whatever Just never radically Whats wrong with running your revolution democratically? Get some strategy, start working to registered voters You can laugh at your opponents when the election is over Have you looked around recently? Democracys died here Along with human rights and other nice ideas And now weve climate crisis too The time has passed to move slow We need a new set of codes And new modes Well who knows? Maybe youll have a chance to succeed But only after you dish enough dirt to plant the seed I need a scoop And I have hungry readers to feed it to So speak the truth It wasnt easy getting this meeting room Thats always the difference between me and you Baba Youre as shallow as a hack As you were as a rapper You were in it for the money then too Thats what screwed it We could have brought the revolution closer with our music Back in Brighton When I first saw you spit I thought you had a passion What was it fueled it?
