SMALL MAN OF HISTORY

I’ll walk into the white house naked
Holding a machete
Before I visit your agenda on another human body
Blood shed to the event of your glory
I’ll bring the babies along for the ride and won’t hide their eyes
Burden of the world is heavy
They better be ready to shoulder
I’ll train them in the
Precision movement of the regimented peace soldier
No doubt
To overpower the shroud that your cold and venomous smile has cast over
Puppet man in the white house
Pushing your pipeline through
With the lies from your puppet mouth
Deaf to the real live screams of children you know nothing about
Humane bombs just ripped a hole through his whole house
Took her mother from her body shook her spirit out
You impose your law on the land
‘Cause you’re too far gone to understand
That the body of the sacred laws do not belong to man
and you’ve broke them
You prepare yourself with the growth of greed to join the ranks of the un-forgiven
But men women children
People of the world who know what life is
Not the spoon fed lies of your swine little media showbiz
Make you wonder if they’d sell their own kids
We know what time it is
And we’re ready to stick that bomb back up in you
Get the revolution on and let the good continue to prosper
Within the borders of the mother earth proper
Not the lines defined by your greed machine doctors
And mad scientists
You bunch of nihilists
Because you stand for nothing you won’t be hard to bring to the ground
Like bob Marley with a small axe we are
Sharp and ready to chop you down

Chorus:
You kill a child in Iraq, you’re killing my family
One people, one blood, that makes you my enemy, clearly
Cowboy in the east on some oil field robbery
Snake thievery, devilry, human butchery
Careful though
Keep an eye on the small man of history
David bring Goliath to his destiny
Victory
Hear me now, listen me
People of conscience
It’s not a profound thought but I keep it up front as a constant
Them who recognize the beast
It’s them who’ve got to stop it

I’m not in that box that you live in
I’m one from the masses of the people with a worldwide commitment to the effort of forgiveness
But there’s a limit
Acquiescence to oppression is vintage
For the privileged it’s time to put your deeds behind the line where your ideals Live
Put your money where your mouth is
We should be thinking seven generations ahead
Instead we’re fucking the world for our great grand kids
It makes me sick to think
What they’re doing in the name of god on my taxes
Whole system is backwards
Country club pardon, build the cage for the black kid
Slavery covert emancipation non existent
Big business
Breed vaccine in the corn to feed the welfare recipient
Pharmaceutical in bed with the president
Foster chemical dependence
Religion is profit and vengeance
Control the masses from the inside out
95% don’t know the half of what the fuck I’m talking about
Human beings mighty but pitiful
Cold war residual propaganda mill fill the mind of the common man
Who might stand
Had he half a picture of the cards in his hand and who’s dealing
But I got a feeling the tide is turning
Revolution 3 parts heart, 2 parts learning
Strike a match Babylon come easy tower burning
Easy

Repeat Chorus

Right now we’re three strong
Me, my wife, and my first born
We swim hard against the current like when fish spawn
Battle line is drawn but the plan as yet uncertain
Hang the man behind the curtain
Hit him hard in his pocket where it hurts him
Order is tall, but we could break up the whole social system
Human race out the rat race we’re stuck in
Stop the shopping spree the mission
Seize it like a piston
Stronghold on the current economic wisdom
Whole lot of us acting at once
Whatever it takes
Collaborate for months or years on the netbox
Whatever it takes, throw out your car and your Reebox
Throw out your TV
One second just imagine with me
No more strip mall drug store
No more
Agricultural conglomerate controlling the food source
No more poison in the water
No more burn the gas out the earth ‘til the flames consume
Our daughters and our sons
Voice of doubt say no way but why not
We’re the ones who took it there
Why can’t we turn it around why can’t we lay it bare
And examine it
Situation can change, situation is limitless
For the fate of us all, for the fate of our planet
Human brain may be finite, but the spirit is infinite
Let it guide us, heal us, protect us
Resurrect us

Repeat chorus
