Song is a good few years old now, but still holds relevance today.
Braintax - Syriana Style
I don’t care for illegal wars then again I don’t care for them legal wars (either/or)
Bush and his evil claws, Tony Blair and his smugness, sense of aboveness
Patronise me I’ll tell you straight
We need to speak out more there’s too much hate
We need to speak out and control our fate
You see I make that dough plus I make y’all wait on baited breath
(“Yo Brains is next!”)
See our leaders are lying that’s why I’m vexed
See: TV’s shit that’s why I’m vexed so don’t be looking confused like “Why’s he vexed?”
Plain to see not your average guy see I verbalise dreams Syriana Style
Oil men tugging on puppet strings and the news is skewed it’s a load of spin
British soldiers beat up kids and the media is like ‘it’s just a few bad apples’
Please! Soldiers are like the police, a big gang of bullies that you can’t police
But the media is like “They need our support!” Fuck that man get them thugs to court!
All the gang and the boss as well or we’re all gonna pay for the cost of hell
See - Middle East kids watch Al-Jazeera, from where they stand it’s a whole lot clearer:
Colonisers once again, access to the oil now count to 10…
9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 time’s flying, when the oil is done
Better get yourself an electric car, Bush blocked the investment in that so far
Cause he’s Texas born, he’s a Texas man
To the HumVee drivers the Lexus fans:
You don’t need them big machines for the shopping or the school run
That’s obscene!
