The first step to revolution is consciousness
So I won't stop screaming at you until this all makes sense
"Either you are with us or you are with the terrorists", says the president
In that case I'm with the "terrorists"
It's 2006, and we're still labeling indigenous individuals "terrorists"?!
Like the "hostile" native Americans of the 1840s, no difference
But your history books omitted that part about this place
Dashing infants' heads on rocks, millions of natives slaughtered and raped
Instead we're fed romanticized versions of our history at an early age
Conditioning us into accepting the mass genocides of today
Like the current one in Iraq
And other government sponsored terrorist attacks
Meanwhile millions of "Support our Troops" magnets are sold
But I don't see any of the buyers crying out "Bring them home!"
Can't you see that giving up liberty does not bring security
But instead total f*cking tyranny?!
Pick up a book and read about our f*cking history
And you'll see that giving up liberty does not bring security
But instead only f*cking tyranny
The very first step to revolution is consciousness
And I'll never stop screaming until this all makes sense
