War for More

WAR for MORE New Era War on Terror Wipe your mascara Look into the Mirror Who’s the real terror? Bin Ladden? Or John Madden? While you’re PLAYing on your STATION DREAMs are being CAST Of false hopes and illusions That will never last The Baby Boomers Gave birth to consumers But inflation’s going up Swelling up like a tumor I’ma go to Jumuah (Friday prayer) While you’re going to the mall Can’t get enough Even though you got it all! Stand tall child of Adam! Your father was a Prophet Consumption is addictive You need to come up off it! People Are Not Happy With What They Got, They Want More! Now They Even Go To War, Just To get More Weapons of Mass Destruction? Or Mass Distraction? Soldiers and Civilians dying For whose satisfaction? We install the tyrants And then we have to kill them We control elections And then we have to steal them? Listen to your heart What does it tell you? Slaving for a system That only seems to fail you If you ask me, It seems the leaders lost their scruples Now we got presidents With bombs in their pupils Unjust war? It really doesn’t matter As long as we can make them SUVs A lot Fatter! People Are Not Happy With What They Got, They Want More! Now They Even Go To War, Just To get More (2X) You just can’t resist When you go to the store You don’t need a thing But you still buy more Explore the reason for this And you will see Why every room in the house has got a TV The holiday sales Start sooner every year You bite into your Turkey And Santa Claus is here! With your assembly line clothes Your assembly line food Your assembly line thoughts And your assembly line moods How fast can you kill a cow To make a billion burgers?! If you knew, then you’d know That the meat you eat is murder People Are Not Happy With What They Got, They Want More! Now They Even Go To War, Just To get More (4X) by Aaron Haroon Sellars, Son of Adam 10/03
