[al:The Thieves Banquet] |
| [01:02.19][Verse 1: Akala] |
|
| [01:03.21] |
Existence is resistance in a world that |
| [01:05.72] |
Thinks the human instinct should be held back |
| [01:08.11] |
And all of our wisdom we we should sell that |
| [01:10.57] |
Destroy the difference that we all have |
| [01:13.24] |
And make use clones for the throne |
| [01:14.76] |
Serving their agendas |
| [01:15.99] |
Even when we think we oppose |
| [01:16.56] |
We're really their defenders |
| [01:18.33] |
Look at what is given to those |
| [01:19.09] |
Who chose for their repentance? |
| [01:20.83] |
To fold to the goddess of gold and be cold henchmen |
| [01:22.65] |
For stars spangled with banners |
| [01:24.65] |
That dangles cars as carrots |
| [01:26.15] |
Strangle Mars with cannons |
| [01:27.41] |
Mangle arms with malice |
| [01:28.40] |
And channel arms so callous |
| [01:29.74] |
And banish bards that challenge |
| [01:31.20] |
And challenge half the planet |
| [01:31.59] |
The great USA |
| [01:33.45] |
With a British dog on a leash |
| [01:34.66] |
We are the bringers of peace into the Middle of East |
| [01:37.30] |
You are invited to Feast |
| [01:38.68] |
On the tasty flesh of a beast |
| [01:39.74] |
It might be someone's seed |
| [01:40.98] |
But why worry there is no need |
| [01:42.19] |
We intravenously feed |
| [01:43.37] |
On dead carcasses |
| [01:44.64] |
Yeah they're starving cos |
| [01:45.90] |
They wanted to own their own wealth |
| [01:46.93] |
And they are not part of us |
| [01:48.41] |
Most of the time I think of myself |
| [01:49.70] |
And I can palm it off |
| [01:50.94] |
Sometimes I think of the world |
| [01:52.24] |
It gets me started off |
| [01:53.46][Hook] |
So so what do we do now |
| [01:55.54] |
Make ways that praise more than a few how? |
| [01:58.28] |
Their fake ways we kill it with a tool blaw |
| [02:00.93] |
Or go back to the way we've always done it |
| [02:03.37] |
Whatever we do there's always gonna be division |
| [02:05.89] |
Whatever we do there will always be a thieves' religion |
| [02:08.35] |
Whatever we do they're just gonna build another prison |
| [02:10.68] |
So let's just do nothing and let it all happen |
| [02:13.48] |
Whatever we do the universe just keeps on giving |
| [02:15.75] |
Whatever we do the Earth will always keep on spinning |
| [02:18.09] |
Whatever we knew we still won't understand beginnings |
| [02:20.71] |
So let's just do nothing and let it all happen |
| [02:23.22] |
Existence is resistance in a world that |
| [02:25.09] |
Thinks the human instinct should be held back |
| [02:27.95] |
And all of our wisdom we should sell that |
| [02:30.49] |
Destroy the difference that we all have |
| [02:32.88][Verse 2: Akala] |
|
| [02:33.40] |
Every freedom we believe we're receiving this evening |
| [02:35.74] |
But believing is deceiving |
| [02:37.42] |
When there's no meaning |
| [02:38.54] |
In not a syllable |
| [02:39.56] |
However how lyrical |
| [02:40.93] |
Spouted from the mouths of a clout |
| [02:42.09] |
Devout criminals |
| [02:43.45] |
Hegemony is as old as humanity right? |
| [02:45.07] |
So we're told |
| [02:46.44] |
So let us scramble for the globe until everything folds |
| [02:48.53] |
As long as pockets always have enough dollars to fold |
| [02:50.33] |
As long as rockets always have enough venom to scold |
| [02:53.53] |
A daddy's daughter |
| [02:53.88] |
A mother's son |
| [02:55.03] |
Or anyone |
| [02:55.65] |
That has not come to succumb to a murderer's tongue |
| [02:58.44] |
So we're told |
| [03:00.28] |
Worship a gun |
| [03:00.75] |
From the palace of permanent slums |
| [03:02.11] |
Purchase a ton |
| [03:02.73] |
From whoever will sell you the Sun |
| [03:03.74] |
And sell it back to whoever can give you the funds |
| [03:05.63] |
The race is run |
| [03:06.64] |
But I don't know if we lost or we won |
| [03:08.53] |
It's all perception, death and resurrection |
| [03:10.50] |
A lack of answers won't stop as asking the question |
| [03:12.71][Hook] |
|
| [03:47.36][Verse 3: Akala] |
|
| [03:53.68] |
Resisting the system? |
| [03:54.58] |
Please tell me what's the mission |
| [03:55.95] |
Cos we would probably be oppressors |
| [03:57.06] |
If given position |
| [03:58.44] |
Yeah I try to spread a message, but really ambition |
| [04:00.49] |
Is what is driven through my lyrics |
| [04:02.52] |
I'm really a gimmick |
| [04:03.53] |
Not that I don't put my heart and my soul in the words |
| [04:05.68] |
It's just I ask |
| [04:06.79] |
If the bars are changing the Earth |
| [04:08.77] |
How arrogant to believe we can change it |
| [04:09.52] |
Through art |
| [04:10.72] |
Only slightly less arrogant than those |
| [04:11.94] |
Who believe that we can't |
| [04:13.07] |
So pull a bit harder |
| [04:14.45] |
We may just crumble the house of cards |
| [04:15.73] |
Never to slumber it's strength in numbers |
| [04:17.45] |
Whenever we charge |
| [04:18.01] |
There is a charge, lays these bars lace the guitars |
| [04:20.29] |
Aim for the stars |
| [04:21.10] |
Game for the part, straight as dart, pain from the heart |
| [04:21.60] |
Great for the art |
| [04:23.09] |
Start fighting |
| [04:24.66] |
Or never should ever you pen to the page |
| [04:26.02] |
Start writing |
| [04:27.40] |
Or never should ever you empty the gauge |
| [04:28.31] |
Murder a phase, verbally slayed |
| [04:29.22] |
The coroner could not determine his age |
| [04:30.84] |
Hard as a foreigner earning a wage |
| [04:32.39] |
From the conservative nerd of a sage |
| [04:33.25] |
Not heard? I'm a permanent page |
| [04:34.61] |
Written in the ink of the blood of a slave |
| [04:35.49] |
No cotton so burn on a wage |
| [04:37.06] |
Buried at the bottom of the ocean of rage |
| [04:38.42][Outro] |
|
| [04:41.11] |
Existence is resistance.. x15 |
| [05:22.08] |
So so what do we do now? |
