Everything's headed for the worst
Headed for jail or the hearse
People overseas dying of AIDS
Who's gonna push the button
Reading headlines devastated
By what my eyes read on paper
But this bad news isn't new
We've declining for a while
Once they see their own comfort crop
And that's just from what I see
While others cry and bitch
Some win those cries because
Tonight they go without any food
When you give to charities
An d those charities on 5 an d 9
o 'clock news on your screen
Because they stole and got greedy,
now their income's your money
Watch them run and get away,
hide out in Europe or Haiti
that things just ain't right?
when it's even in their sight?
Things be come a real tomorrow,
though it all seems real tonight
See for what it is, but powerful,
we live in a place of hypocrites
or am I your paranoid lunatic?
or the letting it making me sick?
Time's up, take your pick,
is it that or is it this?
we live in a place of hypocrites
or am I a paranoid lunatic?
or a good lettin' it makin'
Time's up, take your pick,
is it that or is it this?
Things changin' that you know,
Kids on pressure medication
hooked on a food franchise
Now they poppin' what's prescribed,
but if they read between the lines
for the rest of their lives?
downin' more pills for more symptoms
More money for resistance,
turn healthy into victims
To make sure the cash flow
doesn't lose its momentum
On your radio, your television,
Can they tell us what it means?
If they can, who to trust?
Are they looking out for them?
Then who's looking out for us?
I'm not trying to make waves,
But it goes into one side
and comes right out the other ear
Are the facts a cover -up?
If so, then who do we blame?
Who do we point at? don't know,
cause it all looks the same
we live in a place of hypocrites
or am I your paranoid lunatic?
or the lead in it making me sick?
Time's up, take your pick,
is it that or is it this?
we live in a place of hypocrites
or am I a paranoid lunatic?
or the lead in it making me sick?
Time's up, take your pick,
is it that or is it this?
am I delusional in my mind?
From coins to plastic to fingerprints
Future currency is eye scans
if you know what I'm talking about
While the rich are getting richer
The new poor is middle class
so my lineage can last got a
before we fall between the cracks
when the home front falls
and we're up against the wall
it's hell in a basket and
the money rules the world
an d it dictates who's deserving goody
warnin' 95 and you still wasn't listenin'
it's about to burn fucker
get the fuck up out the kitchen
unfortunately we live in a
or am I your paranoid lunatic?
or the letter that making me sick?
is it that or is it this?
unfortunately we live in a
or am I a paranoid lunatic?
or the letter that's making
Time's up, take your pick,
is it that or is it this?
