Handed down from fathers to sons   Was the hatred of weakness and the love of guns   A talk of peace but not in our time   To save our souls and stop the crime   Onwards and upwards but going nowhere   So how many now truthfully swear   That they do no evil - see no wrong   The ad-mass agents, the writers of song   The bankers, the poets, the modern day seers   Clouding an issue that was never quite clear      Sent through the ages of boy to man   The living testament of making a stand   Killing the wicked then raising the dead   Eating propaganda and shit spoon fed   Grasping for wisdom, but thick all the same   So how many innocents now can claim   That they play with fire - and get burnt   And through the same mistakes never get learnt   Hoping for a time it will fall to place   Faith shall show as our saving grace      Handed down from God with love   Was the whole wide world and some above   But not content to share the land   Greed was shown the winning hand   And those whose greed was the strongest of all   Took upon themselves to lead the call   That some must work while other rest   Without the question of what is best   The leaders, the losers and the kings   Pass the rifle butt that tyranny brings      Passed on over to the chosen few      Was the promise of freedom with a breadline queue   Ghetto's, gateaux and eating it too   Forcing it all down with a cola brew   The first amendment and the hunt for reds   A conscious contradiction with something said   That they see no evil - with eyes shut tight   A cocaine culture that offers no fight   Dragged from birth - drugged to death   The common excuse is 'just being yourself'      Hand us down before it's too late   The strength and wisdom to change our state   Governed by evil and all it will bring   I can't wait for the day they do the lamppost swing   And no mercy should they be shown   For you cannot reason with the devil's own   They say, they hear no evil - hands clasped tight   To shut out the victims' screams of ol' Uncle Sam fights   He sweats and he strains as his boney frame comes -      into the womb of an innocent one
