lyrics

DODGY HANDSHAKES WITH FIRM GRIPS THE PURPOSE
A BROTHERHOOD OF THIEVES THAT WORK BENEATH THE SURFACE
THE PLAN OF OPERATION DIVIDE AND RULE
GIVE THE WAR STRATEGIES AND PROVIDE THE TOOLS
NOW THE MEDIA NEED TO INFLUENCE THE PEOPLE
WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION WILL BE USED TO KILL U
IF WE DON’T ACT IMMEDIATELY, INTERMEDIATELY THINKING PEOPLE AGREE
WITH THE WAY THE MEDIA IS SEEN
IN NEWSPAPERS AND MAGAZINE AND TV SCREEN
NOW THE COUNTDOWN BEGINS BEFORE THEY SEND IN THE MARINES
MACHINE GUNS, SUBMARINES SUNK IN THE DEEP SEA
AS WE SEE A COUNTRY DESTROYED IRAQI
CHILDREN WATCH AS THE FATHERS LIVES TAKEN AWAY
AND THEIR WIVES HAVE TO SURVIVE SOME HOW SOME WAY
OVER A THOUSAND US AND ENGLISH SOLDIERS HAVE DIED
BLOOD SPILT FOR THE PRICE OF OIL IN DISGUISE
A WISE MAN SAID TO ME BEFORE
IF STAY IN THE ENGLISH COMPASS U CAN BE SURE
U WILL NOT HAVE THE TROUBLES OTHER NATIONS ENDURE
TRIED TO IGNORE THEN REALISED THEY'RE THE MASTERS OF WAR

IN THE GRIP, IN THE GRIP

U MAY DOUBT ME BUT EVIDENCE SHOWS IT’S SUPPOSEDLY TRUE
MEN WHO USE WAR FOR POWER IN CEREMONIAL SUITS
IT COULD BE ME, IT COULD BE U OR A FAMILY MEMBER
COVERT HOMEWORK WITH A HIDDEN AGENDA
THE BUSH FAMILY ARE THREE GENERATIONS OF OIL DRILLERS
STARTED IN TEXAS TO BECOME DISLOYAL KILLERS
IT’S ALL ABOUT THE ECONOMY MOVING IN STEALTH AND OBVIOUSLY
INCREASING DIVISION BETWEEN WEALTH AND POVERTY
IF U HAD TO CHOOSE A SIDE WHICH SIDE WOULD U CHOOSE
THE WINNING SIDE OR THE SIDE THAT MIGHT LOSE
IN THE WEST WE HAVE A CHOICE BUT THOSE WHO HAVEN'T
CAN GET HUNTED DOWN PUBLICLY LIKE BUSH DID SADDAM
BIN LADEN STILL HAS THE WEAPON POINTED AT THE TARGET
COULD STRIKE AT ANYTIME OR IS THAT A PROPER GANDER MARKET
REGARDLESS WE DON’T HAVE TOTAL CONTROL
WE VOTE BUT NOTHING CHANGES IN THE LOCAL POLES
REMOTE CONTROLS HOPE TO SOLVE ALL OUR PROBLEMS
WATCHING THE NEWS HOPING SOMEONE ELSE CAN SOLVE EM
CHANGE CHANNEL GET YA FACE FLANNEL WASH YOUR FACE
CLOSE UR EYES SPACE TRAVEL B4 THEY AIM BARRELS

IN THE GRIP, IN THE GRIP
