(Listen Closely)
Not to be confused with protest music
Or pretend I have some sort of viable solutions
For robots and super humans fighting for a future
And a generation replaced by computers
Raised in a stupor then shipped off to war
Kill kill kill kill the poor
But who else would wash windows on skyscrapers?
Or circulate whatever diseases they make up?
When newspapers read like gossip columns
Put girls on birth control instead of condoms
They got a ringtone for everything you hear
I got a Blackberry and a lump behind my ear
Plus my health insurance ends in Spring
Graduated college, didn't learn a fucking thing
Walking the chem-trail less traveled
When even the weather is controlled by these assholes
Maybe that respiratory problems no coincidence
And big brother's watching closer than you think is
I wouldn't know but I'm not convinced
Not p-noid just on my P's and Q's
On the watch for pigs
They're on the watch for us
So watch what you say and who you say it to
Phones are bugged
They make the water taste like Ativan
And put soldiers in Penn Station, gats in hand
So I make mad Black Flag references
Because I relate to Keith and feel just as oppressed as him
Head on my shoulders
Watching B-list celebrities go sober
Makes me want to do myself a favor; Die young
They try to shut you up and it's working
While they fire us, and blow cities up
To remind us we're sitting ducks
(I don't want a computer chip in my arm)
Them Vs. Us Stand the fuck up
Jealous cowards try to control, rise above
Them Vs. Us Fight for what you love
Funk, jazz, punk, soul, rock & roll, dub
Them Vs. Us Taxes do what?
It's not your concern until they're at your door with guns
Them Vs. Us The police are scum
Laws are unjust, tell it to a judge
Them Vs. Us Employee of the month
Work all day just to get fucked up
Them Vs. Us Zoning out to the drums
Steal from your work place, theyre stealing from us
Them Vs. Us Dead by 21
Camera's on every block nowhere to run
Them Vs. Us Consume what you must
Hate tobacco industry, love smoking blunts
