In a World Gone Mad

In a world gone mad, it's hard to think right
So much violence, hate, and spite
Murder going on all day and night
Due time we fight the non-violent fight

Mirrors, smokescreens, and lies
It's not the politicians but their actions I despise
You and Saddam should kick it like back in the day
With the cocaine and Courvoisier
But you build more bombs as you get more bold
As your mid-life crisis war unfolds
All you want to do is take control
Now put that Axis of Evil bullshit on hold
Citizen rule number 2080
Politicians are shady
So people watch your back 'cause I think they smoke crack
I don't doubt it, look at how they act

In a world gone mad, it's hard to think right
So much violence, hate, and spite
Murder going on all day and night
Due time we fight the non-violent fight

First the War on Terror, now war on Iraq
We're reaching a point where we can't turn back
Let's lose the guns and let's lose the bombs
And stop the corporate contributions that their built upon
Well, I'll be sleeping on your speeches 'til I start to snore
'Cause I won't carry guns for an oil war
As-Salamu alaikum, wa alaikum assalam
Peace to the Middle East, peace to Islam
Now don't get us wrong 'cause we love America
But that's no reason to get hysterica
They're layin' on the syrup thick
We ain't waffles, we ain't havin' it

In a world gone mad, it's hard to think right
So much violence, hate, and spite
Murder going on all day and night
Due time we fight the non-violent fight

Now how many people must get killed?
For oil families pockets to get filled?
How many oil families get killed?
Not a damn one, so what's the deal?

It's time to lead the way and de-escalate
Lose the weapons of mass destruction and the hate
Say ooh, ahh, what's the White House doin'?
Oh, no! Say, what they got brewing?
Well, I'm not pro-Bush and I'm not pro-Saddam
We need these fools to remain calm
George Bush, you're looking like Zoolander
Trying to play tough for the camera
What am I on crazy pills? We've got to stop it
Get your hand out my grandma's pocket
We need health care more than going to war
You think it's democracy they're fighting for?

In a world gone mad, it's hard to think right
So much violence, hate, and spite
Murder going on all day and night
Due time we fight the non-violent fight

This Government Needs a Tune Up

Get with it
Get with it
Get with it
Got beats that are boomin' to keep the crowd movin'
'Cause this administration needs some removin'
Since 9/11, got war on the brain
This U.S. nation needs show restraint

Oh, no way, what's that, you say?
The U.N. don't mean nothin' to the U.S.A.?
Oh, no way, what's that you heard?
Bush is makin' money off of the oil, word?

Never ending government spendin'
All for weapons of war, they keep on spendin' more
Trouble believing, all this deceiving
Is it really freedom that we're fighting for?

This government needs a tune up
This government needs a tune up
This government needs a tune up
This government needs a tune up

Imagine public healthcare, public housing
Public help without the religious founding
Imagine that, well, it could happen yet
And we can make it happen, it's a bet

Now I'm not trying to say I hate the U.S.A.
I'd live somewhere else if I felt that way
But go back to the fifty's, if you think it's all nifty
This president is acting mad-shifty

FBI and the cops keep all filing
Who protest the war and who they're dialing
So be careful what you say up on the internet
We got a nosy government that won't forget

This government needs a tune up
This government needs a tune up
This government needs a tune up
This government needs a tune up
This government needs a tune up
This government needs a tune up

Need a little democratic socialism
Eassssse up on the capitalism
Eassssse up on the militarism
Ease up on the campaign finance schism

The next thing they'll want is abortion deaded
If you're not straight, white, and married, it's dreaded
Forget it, you know what they say, if you,re gay
You're not a real member of society

If you're with me say, What is this?
Our government's being run by big business
Wrecking shop, so let's fix this
Come on somebody and get with this

This government needs a tune up
This government needs a tune up
This government needs a tune up
This government needs a tune up
Get with it
Get with it
Get with it
Get with it
Get with it
