Singing:
Telling lies to our children
Telling lies to our children
Telling lies to our babies
Only truth can take us
Verse 1:
You can't fool all the people all of the time
But if you fool the right ones then the rest will fall behind
Tell me who's got control of your mind your world view
Is it the news or the movie you're taking your girl to (uh)
Know what I'm sayin cause uncle sam got a plan
If you examine what they tellin us then you will understand
What they plantin in the seeds of the next generation
Feeding our children miseducation
No one knows if there's ufo's or any life on mars
Or what they do when they up in the stars
Because I don't believe a word of what the president said
He filling our head with lies got us hypnotised
When he be speaking in cold words about crime and poverty
Drugs welfare prisons guns and robbery
It really means us there's no excuse for the slander
But what's good for the goose is still good for the gander
See
Chorus:
I don't believe bob marley died from cancer
31 years ago I woulda been a panther
They killed huey cause they knew he had the answer
The views that you see in the news is propaganda
Singing:
Telling lies to our children
Telling lies to our children
Telling lies to our babies
Only truth can take us
Verse 2:
I don't want no computer chip in my arm
I don't wanna die by a nuclear bomb
I say we all rush the pentagon pull out guns
And grab the intercom my first word's will be I believe
Man made god outta ignorance and fear
If God made man then why the hell would he put us here
I thought he's supposed to be the all loving
The same God who let hitler put the jews in the oven
We don't fall for the regular sh*t they try to feed us
All this half-a** leadership flippin position
They turn politcian and shut the hell up and follow tradition
For your tv screen is telling lies to your vision
Every channel got some brainwashed cop sh*t to watch
Running up in niggas cribs claiming that they heard shots
It's a plot but busta can you tell me who's greedier
Big corporations the pigs or the media
Sign of the times terrorism on the rise
Commercial airplanes falling out the sky like flies
Make me wonder what secrets went down with bob brown ( )
Who burnt churches to the ground with no evidence found
It's not coincidence it's been too many studied incidents
It coulda been the klan who put that bomb at the olympics
But it probably was the fbi deep at the call
'Cause if they make us all panic then they can start martial law
Chorus:
I don't believe bob marley died from cancer
31 years ago I woulda been a panther
They killed huey cause they knew he had the answer
The views that you see in the news is propaganda
I don't believe bob marley died from cancer
31 years ago I woulda been a panther
They killed huey cause they knew he had the answer
The views that you see in the news is muthaf**kin propaganda
Singing:
Police is telling lies fooling millions
What are they teaching our kids in these school buildings
Televised enterprised in all the killing
Controlling our lives this ain't living
No this ain't living

Oppressed people all over the world and I think that uh we differ from

Than uh most uh groups understand the system and uh with this
Realisation uh we attempt to form a strong political base based in the
Community with the only strength that we have and that's the strength of uh
A potentially destructive force if we don't get freedom "
