hollywood telling us how to think
changin' our way to act.
the news raping our minds with their lies,
while the murderers and rapists are running wild in the streets
while you were sleeping
I'm a brother with a furious mind
we got a mind of our own so use it
use it and fight the system
we were born to rage against them
in every neighborhood, the block is hot and dangerous
And whats the point of a fist in the air
if the children are starving, and the men dont care
we change the course of history
everyday people like you and me
we got the power we are the minority
we gotta
feed the hungry and house the poor
we gotta save these babies and stop the wars
action must be taken
United States of America
looks like another silent night
as were sung to sleep by philosophies
that save the trees and kill the children
and while were lying in the dark
theres a scream heard across the eastern sky
but do we care? we just keep sleepin'.
dreamin'. Dreamin' for a better tomorrow.
but i tell ya we gotta start acting not thinkin'
Yes I know my enemies
They're the teachers who taught me to fight me
Compromise, conformity, assimilation, submission
Ignorance, hypocrisy, brutality, the elite
what?the land of the free?
world,people what will we miss while we are sleeping
will Jesus come again
and leave us slumbering where we lay
america, will go down in history
as a nation with no room for it's King
