[Intro: Voice Samples]
After a glimpse of the timeless universe comes the stark reality of today
Particularly in nasty wars on the other side of the world
We're going to apply the shock and we'll see the shock indicator on this flash of light on the bottom
People are very silly if they believe everything that newspapers tell them
What is the implication for society that uses punishment and depravation to control people
[Verse 1: Deca]
Nothin' new, same old hustle and subterfuge
Suffer through shockwaves we've grown accustomed to
Up the views, more skewed coverage and buzzard food
Trouble brews and pundits fish in the blood that pools
Nationwide they're harmonizin' like the Four Tops
War hawks on Park Place and Boardwalk
Cryin' out for scorched earth
It's like we've been here before
Chartin' each seismic shift with a pen ear to floor
Our free and fair press every step beatin' bare chest
Which three letter agency's inkin' their checks?
Safe and sound somewhere lost in the crowd
But rays of light don't shine through white phosphorous clouds
Fan the violent flames, ready the troops, fuel the furnace with
Half-truths and outright lies akin to urban myths
If it bleeds it leads, remove the tourniquet
Fever pitch perfect fit for a circus it's …
[Chorus: Deca & Voice Samples]
The age-old hustle, the nature of the beast
To say let's split the cake, then take another piece
And another
Peace
And another
Peace peace
And another
Peace peace peace peace
No solace in the eye for eyeball they're callin' for
You know the mantra well colonize call it yours
Machines are fired, rifles are fired, tear gas
There's no inclination to stop fighting right now I think we've only just begun
[Verse 2: Deca]
Peak distortion reached to each his portion of devil's pie
Explore the depths and depressurize
It's all there in plain sight clear as daylight
Birds of prey on the world stage playin' brave nights
Inadequate words for lived loss and anguish
But they're cut from the same cloth they wash your brain with
Strange it's lopsided nature never caught your eye
Cryin' out but not for lives lost across divides
Tax dollars not for butter but guns
It's not a tooth for a tooth it's five dozen for one
It's brute force livin' under the thumb
Stripped of pretense
Reducin' city blocks to ash in self-defense
Learn to love the bomb, act like nothin's wrong
Dusk 'till dawn snatchin' crumbs from your brother's palms
If it detonates when all faith and trust is gone
You won't have to turn the oven on to make duck l'orange
[Chorus: Deca & Voice Samples]
The age-old hustle, the nature of the beast
To say let's split the cake, then take another piece
And another
Peace
And another
Peace peace
And another
Peace peace peace peace
No solace in the eye for eyeball they're callin' for
You know the mantra well colonize call it yours
Machines are fired, rifles are fired, tear gas
[Outro: Voice Samples]
The point really is to get to emotional areas right now and all of the defenses which keep people having a philosophy of violence
No blood
Only peace
No blood
Only peace
Peace
Peace peace peace peace
