What continues to happen on the sands of Iraq is wrong. What happened two years ago was wrong. Five hundred thousand innocent woman, children, and men died because America choose to call murder for liberation a reality and that's fucking bullshit. It continues to happen and people continue to die because we, America, want control over their resources and that is wrong. This song is called a Bullet in your Head.

  with intro jam
  In-Song Dialogue: Consuerism. Connsciousness. We need to be able to think critically again. And understand the true power that each one of us as individuals has. Consumerism, the condition to which has murdered the spirit of each and every one of us as we stand in the face, as we stand in the face of oppression we have been taught to buy, buy, and buy. And to live as a culture the only time we are seen as successful and apprecation as human beings if we are rich. If we have the power to spend, then we are truly treated as human beings. Do you seen what they've done? Do you see what they've done. This American government, this system has been around for about 500 years and has murdered and devoured more people than any empire on the face of this Earth. And we support it every day. And until we Wake Up, until we wake up to our own hypocrsiy can we ever begin to tear down a hypocritical system. Wake up.
This government, this government calls them projects. Projects. And they can only be truly defined as police states. East LA, Compton, South Central. Harlem. Easttown, East St. Louis, Chicago. Police states governed and controlled by force. Crack attacks the children and he goes up hardened and hateful. And when he reacts, after years and years of conditioning, when he reacts and fights back against these SS officers who calls themselves policemen, he is seen as criminal. His family is in jail. He sees the circle, viciious and violent circle. He attempts to free his spirit, his body, his mind from it. And he lives in a system, he lives in a system where killing is legal.
• 7. Killing In The Name

Yo this last song, this song goes out to all the Chicanos in the house tonight, put your fists up in the air. This one's called Freedom.
