The Devil$

[ACTIVATE SELF]

All they dabble in is debt and death
It built the Capital
Every
Last
Step
It bought Lady Liberty her dress
The New York Apple is the final rest
For the birds who flew the coop
But they couldn't find a nest
So they stole it from the next
All we know is blood and sweat
All they know is cashin checks
Collectin from the debt
That they cause but never stress
Never pause to even guess
Who gon' pay it cos we let
The devils we elect
Sell our souls for even less
Than a spec of the gold that they possess
I confess I'm complicit to this mess
But how did I forget that the Devil wears a mask?
Like Ronald he's a clown
peddle poison to your child
"Have a coke and a smile"
til your liver burns out!
Every sinner wears a crown
And it weighs a million pounds
Putting stress on ya neck til your forced to bow down
Now take a look around all you see is gray clouds
Pollution in the air and the doom and gloom sounds
Of the buses and the cars leavin scars on the Earth
Plus they're carvin out her heart for the charms in her dirt
Now tell me what it's worth, to kill your own mother
Can you live with such a curse?
I guess it's bout the money when the monkeys run the show
Throwin feces on the crowd we just smile and let it go
I see primates in disguise, but their spines got a slope
This is Planet of the Apes everyday's an episode
So how did I forget that the Devil wears a tie
Fancy shoes and a robe and he's paid to the tell lies
To the robots and the clones
Mobile drones roam the skies
"All praise the Holy Eye"
Worship Google like the Sun
And Steve Jobs like a god
Viacom's on the rise
To take control of your mind
CNN's full of sin and BBC's for the blind
The FDA poisons food you consume all the time
Is Amazon still a forest or a storage online
sellin merch made in China for a nickel or a dime?
All these wars over oil is it Shell or Exxon?
Are we dyin for our "freedom" or a corporate bottomline?
I can't tell, I don't know, cos the Devil is a trickster
And I haven't seen his face since King James changed the scripture.

Remember.
