[Intro: Samples]

"The air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat, and we sit watching our TVs while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that's the way it's supposed to be. We know things are bad - worse than bad. They're crazy. It's like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go out anymore. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we are living in is getting smaller, and all we say is, 'Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials and I won't say anything. Just leave us alone.' Well, I'm not gonna leave you alone. I want you to get mad!"

"[?]

There's a motherfucking war going on"

[Verse: Plazma]

Welcome to the Matrix, I dare you to decode the tactics

As you mimic the theatrics seen on the television screens

A goddess with a deceiving smile on the magazine covers

Such tragic beauty, courtesy of a guillotine makeover

The guardians of the gate have all been beheaded

Witness winds of plague

The rising of Leviathian

Become a dedicated slave and you will go to heaven

Defy time and you'll be tortured by by Lucifer's minions

The purpose of your life is to be a patriot

And [?] fuck yourself with that flag

You'll be Judas Iscariot if you refuse

And end up in a body bag

You bleed and you cry inside

You're in the frontline of a psychological warfare

Initiating mental genocide

The only escape is suicide

Slit wrist, blood drains, sit down, obey

Shut your third eye, everything's okay

Yesterday, today, tomorrow

All calculated in a black box

Life is short, so when the cradle rocks

To start the brain wash

When you face the machine, your defeat is inevitable

And if you wake up, you still end up wrapped in their tentacles

[Verse: Anygma]

It's the world's deadliest plague

Elusive with several shapes and shades

Consuming every generation or phase

Assuming any face and state

Diluting men to slaves

Excluding sense from brains

Students sent to graves

When mental laziness settles and other truths are entertained

Makes it purely preferential, no proof or demonstrations

Tested explanations are graded second-rate

To subjective guesses embellished

[?] rest in faith and

Academic henchmen profess to perpetuate the reckless misdirection

Progressions left to waste

Yet them pseudo-intellectuals have penchant for center stage

Memories are swayed, certain segments penetrate

With oppressive agendas, the egg of treachery is laid

Prophetic messages persuade

Pay respects and pray

Venerate the sage or taste the edge of blades

Best befriend the holy saints, [?]

Of deadly weapons in exchange

The pen can kill or save

The end is still the same

But true heaven is delayed

[Verse: Rambling Man]

Eyes laid bare

It's pattern makers, masters of manufactured freedom

Rat in way of maze, manual bondage

But just because you know doesn't mean you have a chance

Strange man in [?] land

My brother [?] projects subtle exposition

Sacrificial rebel

Revolution without placement

Marketable [?] performance

Can you [?]

[?] messages

Buy stuff

Buy more stuff

Stuff your mind with smut

[?] plug in Leviathans

This is your brain on 24 hours of insider intrigue and Paris Hilton's whims

This isn't sink or swim

But flow and get pegged by pelicans' skins

Gladiator kills opponents but loses by virtue of being gladiator

Puppets to bloodsport

This isn't a zero-sum sport

Everyone perishes

Conditions you conceive a carefree frolic

Liberty is bait, hook line and sinker

Just another sucker, just another meal to the Matrix

I don't think outside the box

I [?], words on the horizon

Horrific weaponry, wicked hopeless ways of havoc

[Verse: Protege]

Yo

Yo, if you got a little common sense to get up off the fence and take a proper stance

Use foresight like a sonogram, abort the morbid plans

Who's finding it hard to get food for the starving kids

When institutions like the government use media to hide they sins

All the feds involved in this

Count the populace living like carcasses from false promises

'cause a few control the large percent

What kind of war is this?

Bombs and ships versus rocks and sticks

Knowledge is power and they got all of it

We sit and prayin' while the preacher preaches

The same bullshit that we think feeds us only ends up strengthen the weakness

So I'mma block out these press releases

What they teach misleads us

To each his own but yo, I'm running out of stress relievers

Eyes and ears glued to a box as a man talks

Toxic words like, "This is the plot"

'til they put a chip in your brain controlling what you thinking, insane

Pulling your strings 'til they get you to sway

Can't get away
