DEMOCRACY NOW!

Amy Goodman you are such a light!
You took the statue of liberty's torch and replaced it with a mic
Yo thats outa sight this is an x men fight
And She's like wolverines claws cutting through those copper spikes

But in a certain way Magneto had it right
Turn all world leaders into mutants then no one would be alike
She's the exception to the rulers and she sets the record right
She goes to where the silence is exposing men from mice

But does she know they dosed my neck to minimize my bite?
Remember William Striker? Well that's what it was like
She will cover my story playing "don't believe the hype"
Cause I'm like PE Number One and I fit the stereotype

Cause I'm a Roots radik militant original Hebrew
The Even Shtia of Breslev32
The head Cornerstone that the builder refused
A Rebel without a pause who refuses to lose

And She eliminates my frustration like a permanent vacation
And its great the way she's got the whole hip hop nation
Listening tuned in to pacifica radio station
Why do you trust the corporate media When They sold their souls to satan?

And that goes for the big three and cnn and especially fox
For greenlighting a war based on Bush's double talk
Giving the death count for our military but not civilians of Iraq
While ignoring all the peace makers who are blessed upon this rock

And it's democracy now democracy now democracy when? Right now!

Now what I have to say is like Mercutio's dying words
A curse on both your houses its revenge of the nerds
We want truth right now and when we speak it boy it hurts
As in the beginning so in the end the last shall be first

I'm as American as the Boston Tea Party and I'm as Israeli
As a suicide Bus bombing I will raise your neck hairs see
I am sick of how this system treats its citizens unfairly
Ask me how I'm hanging in And I'll answer just barely

This is the control revolution in case you didn't know
And its Power to the people like pirate radio
This is a ghetto revolution cause sizzla told me so
This is revolverlution like PE number one knows

And we need a new revolution cause this old one's a lie
Coopted by the hegemony sitra achra's other side
We're the revolution family and this is family ties
There's a civil war going on and there's nowhere to hide

The truth will be exposed like a diamond in a mine
They will pay the highest fine for their high crimes
We play leonard Cohen's The Future cause its closing time
We tell satan get behind us go to the end of the line

We've got get out of jail free cards for captives held unjustly
Don't act like you've seen a ghost cause you can trust me
I've been to hell and back my whole lifes a ghost story
In these houses of the holy we see what is and what will never be

And it's democracy now democracy now democracy when? Right now!

In god we trust yet there seems to be no trust
That's what I told George Bush But he didn't give a what
So when he open's his mouth now we gotta say hush
Cause we've spent our whole lives like birds in a cobras clutch

Now they say freedom isn't free but you know we've paid to much
Yo how much does it cost? lets take it out in blood
Now don't call it a bite when I cite Masters of War
It's a citation not bitation of a master poet's words

Even Democracy Now! has played that song several times
So please listen closely to the following lines:

Let me ask you one question is your money that good?
Will it buy you forgiveness do you think that it could?
Cause I think that you'll find when your death takes it's toll
all the money money you made could never buy back your soul ...
[and] There's one thing I know though I'm younger than you
Even Jesus would never forgive what you do

So we can't help you now and even if we could
You must learn your lesson and you must learn it good
Cause everyone is sick and tired of being so misunderstood
If you don't know then we must school you
cause that's how it goes in the hood

But what do I know I'm just a pale face
Sent to slay the jaberwocky chimera of race
I got the job done and I did it with grace
And We all know we're all one so why don't we close this case?

Cause If you ask Sherlock Holmes what do you know?
He'll say elementary my dear watson ... this case is closed!

And it's democracy now democracy now democracy when? Right now!
