Perestroika

[Intro: Apathy] I ain't on YouTube or none of that shit, lookin' for all these videos, tryna tell me what I should think You still gettin' programmed, you stupid motherfucker I do the knowledge by myself I read between the lines [Chorus] We've heard it all before We've heard it all before We've heard it all before We've heard it all before [Verse 1: O.C.] Yeah, deep topics are prone for less profits No matter what the industry does, they can't stop it Things are so obvious, shit is all common sense Government promises, bullshit economists House of Representatives lobbyin' laws Backed by billionaires, I know the system is flawed From the California coast to these eastern shores Servicemen being deployed, fightin' these wars Big men choked out for sellin' bootleg Newports Violate his rights, takin' his life See, life's truly a blood sport (Ha) Even strong lumbers cut down to matchsticks with the buzz saw Gettin' chills down my spinal cord, readin' through the final chord We'll soon be extinct like the dinosaur We our own worst enemy Hatred, jealousy, envy, if I'm murdered; don't avenge me That get-back will offend my spirit Eye for an eye, another man slave, let God clear it Compassion don't exist, plus the media embraces Foul reports for the stations and higher ratings [Chorus] La la la la la la la la We've heard it all before We've heard it all before We've heard it all before We've heard it all before [Verse 2: Apathy] Yo, I'm not paranoid, I'm just not stupid To think the water they give me I'm drinking's not polluted I watch the television muted lookin' for the mutants Human beings are bound to change from those pollutants I shop from local farmers, all these global horrors Got me thinkin' the world's over, there's no tomorrow I'm stockpilin' guns, stackin' up funds Buy some land in the woods if the Armageddon comes Canned food by the tons, look after my loved ones Gas mask, hazmat, keep the poison out the lungs We used to be kings who only bowed to the Sun Rain dance for the crops, not a knot full of ones All these children is zombies on their Xbox Live Motherfuckers nowadays don't even play outside Get a bike for that Teletubby, chubby little bastard No afternoon snack, and he felt like he fasted Amazin' how it's lasted this long It won't be much longer 'cause these earthlings are so out of touch Touchscreens, text messages, social media replaces Face-to-face conversations here in the Matrix [Chorus] La la la la la la la la We've heard it all before We've heard it all before We've heard it all before We've heard it all before
