Character Building Lyrics


My verses razor sharp, but let me put it bluntly
Cut you into slices that don’t function very properly
Gone and forgotten, this is the frontal lobe lobotomy
There's no freestyle. We're not free and in denial.

Stuck within the system, thinking we're autonomous
Western intervention is like alcoholics anonymous 
More central to the issue in the dealings with Google
Like warrantless wiretapping, they don’t need your approval
Don't be just another sheep, complacent in the flock
All charge and no conviction, like religious tradition
Pursuit of money-culture’s manifestation
Designed to divide us up, like an apartheid-ruled nation

Keep corporations in control, and consumers in silence
Exacerbating cycles of oppression, compliance
One day maybe we erupt in defiance. 
In the meantime, study this microphone science.

The news is watered down like during prohibition
Truth filtered out, information inhibition
Take away our freedom like we're babies with candy?
Our verses hit home like Hurricane Sandy

Elementary lyrics. Take it back to basics.
Abandoned factories are vacuous, spacious.
Abducting your rights, like aliens with the spaceships.
Adbusters was right, we need to get out and take this.

Oppression's like religion, sellin you repentance
Sustaining their position with illusions, dependence.
It's just an institution, now short one believer
Decieve me? You can't. I'll even leave it to Beaver.
