lyrics

Freedom defined by a cabinet, by the state, or within your own mind
A cerebrum clad in shackles, hide and seek with itself, seek to find
Not a notion for promotion, not a slogan for banner and signs
An abstraction, lacking action, adjustments based upon place and time

Don't go near, it's a mind trap
You'll never make it out alive
Don't look under that striped hat
And don't be surprised what you find

Piece together how you got here, cast your vote so you can be cast out
You don't have it, but hand it over. What you gained is not worth what you gave out
Not a notion for promotion, not a tool to raise cash or gain clout
But we're stranded on an ocean where there's none of what we can't
Live without

*Fred Hampton voiceover*
"We've got to defend ourselves, we intend to defend ourselves,
We did so in the past, and we're gonna do it today,
And the day after that, and the day after that.
Because only through the proper example of self-defense
And the proper example of retaliation
And by letting these people know that we move for some basic laws.
That anything that goes down on oppressed people
On the part of the oppressor,
It should be reciprocal.
And in plain, proletarian, workers' language: It takes two to tango.
As soon as these motherfuckers go, we go."
