Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the end of the twentieth century and the arrival of friendly fascism.
Regrettably, millions will die as before. But just think of the tremendous selection and savings you’ll gain.
Of course the loss of freedom and democracy are tragedies, I know, but consider the entertainment value contained within. And to remind you, it is you, the people, who have mandated this course of our fate so please come with me….
Look at the new face of power in America.
This is your future. You can never leave.
Who said tyranny can’t be fun?
Friendly fascism having so much fun.
What else do you need?
You’ll learn to like what you must do.
If you resist you are suppressed.
You are told who to fight and when
By Trump the Nazi fascist friend.
Alienating technology wipes out our sense of community.
Millions will die just as before.
We disconnect and start the war.
We make life a commodity.
We turn animals into machines.
Kinder and gentler slaughter house.
Big business and government
Distract us with entertainment.
They manufacture our consent
While we destroy the environment.
What has happened here is but the sound before the fury of the oppressed.
All of us here realize that wherever there is that struggle... that sacrifice, we ain't going to quit.
You know why we ain't gonna quit? Because we're one unit. We're tired of being beaten. We're tired of being oppressed.
'The poor and the underclass are growing.
Racial justice and human rights are nonexistent.
They have created a repressive society, and we are their unwitting accomplices.
Their intention to rule rests with the annihilation of consciousness.
We have been lulled into a trance.
They have made us indifferent to ourselves, to others.
We are focused only on our own gain.
Please understand. They are safe as long as they are not discovered.
That is their primary method of survival.
Keep us asleep, keep us selfish, keep us sedated.'
Look at the new face of power in America.
This is your future. You can never leave.
Who said tyranny can’t be fun?
Friendly fascism having so much fun.
What else do you need?
'The feeling is definitely there. It's a new morning in America...fresh, vital. The old cynicism is gone. We have faith in our leaders. We're optimistic as to what becomes of it all. It really boils down to our ability to accept. We don't need pessimism. There are no limits.'

i want to talk about media distortion
ad campaign telling lies about abortion
standing there calling yourself a good christian
break your fucking sign because you're causing me friction
ignorant group operations rescue
if you treat women then they might even kill you
Randall Terry says they're soldiers of god now
if you ask me i'd say they're smoking much pot now
a little advice for the medical students
(they're) teaching cowardice not medical prudence
lobbying pressure from the a.m.a. cracker
don't treat women and you call yourself a doctor
standing in line fucking slime with no sense
two can play at that start clinic defense
yelling over me showing patients no respect
break for the lane get (an) elbow in your neck
[CHORUS x 2]
if you don't want a Nazi in your house don't let one
don't know a fundamentalist 'til you've met one
if you've memorized your civil rights don't forget one
if you don't want an abortion don't get one
marching with your cross and your dead fetus picture
don't let me see you or i'll jam it up your sphincter
you're lucky that i find violence so heinous
but my wife and her friends'll put a foot in your anus.
confused sad woman kill apologizing
sad fucking bible you still memorizing
had to make a choice between god and her sisters
you imitate your oppressor so you dissed her
even though you told me you had the procedure
just 'cause you're rich and you're white that freed you
from the consequence of a child out of wedlock
from the family shame at the congregation potluck
crazy pregnant woman citing her religion
the baby's going to die without cesarean section
i won't support scientific intervention
i give her the freedom to deal with her actions
[CHORUS x 4]
if you don't want a Nazi in your house don't let one
don't know a fundamentalist 'til you've met one
if you've memorized your civil rights don't forget one
if you don't want an abortion don't get one
'Women have the right to make choices about their own bodies.
You're trying to make choices about OTHER people's bodies.'
[x3]
ru486? yes i am sir
anything to empower women that's for d*** sure
know what it means when they're bombing all the clinics
who's going to say get off the fence to the cynics
harassing g.y.n. with a death threat
say that you're doing god's work well yeah bet
respect women and give her some room
believe in her rights stay out of her womb
if you want to see women stop termination
give her a future and a real education
do you think women want to kill their own babies?
do you think women want to kill their own babies?
do you think women want to kill their own babies?
if got your own twisted baggage then maybe
[x4]
if you don't want a Nazi in your house don't let one
don't know a fundamentalist 'til you've met one
if you've memorized your civil rights don't forget one
if you don't want an abortion don't get one

God Damn! This is madness.
its the fourth consecutive week I've had this
reoccurring nightmare of a woman
who tries to walk her child to daycare
They pass a liquor store
See an average looking kid running out the door
In a moment frozen
they watch as he reveals a handgun
Terror in her voice no sound
he unloads a round her son goes down
Then I wake up screaming
but am I dreaming
cause its just another day
So many killings repeated
until people have no feeling
When every two years guns take more
American lives than the whole Vietnam war.
Six teens and children die
Every day in gun homicides
and the NRA lobby fool
Pays athletes to tell kids
to stay in school
Whoever said that must be joking,
Go tell that to the kids in Oakland,
DC. Detroit and Newark
And you wonder why kids don't do their homework
The school is a war zone
Teachers and students alike are afraid to leave home
Hallways are an innocent tomb
The principal's office a grieving room
This is a malignant cancer
Guards and metal detectors won't be the answer
Hundreds of thousands of students say they
carry guns to school daily
Growing up with fear and panic.
[scratch] Bang. Nine. Automatic.
[x2]
[scratch] Its genocide
America has the most homicides
Society devouring its own young
[x7]
Take away those guns
We need gun control
[scratch] Bang, Nine. Automatic
How can we stop the violence
When everywhere we look is the image of gun death
The Rodney King explosion
Is just one result of inner city erosion
Take away all hope
and kids will turn to robbery and dealing dope
You don't care about elections
What urban youth want is protection
From a life of war
could be the Iraqi war
or war in the Filmore
There is no more tragic sight
than a heavily armed youth with no respect for life.
The leading cause of death
in African American males
under the age of thirty five
At the funeral the friends will cry
but on the streets they tool and die
And Hollywood has done
more than anyone to glamorize the gun
in movies, music and TV.
[scratch] Its Genocide... can't you see...
Got to take the profit out of crime,
Stop glamorizing death on prime-time.
Cities aren’t the only places
Where kids are waging arms races
In suburbs and rural areas.
Across the country kids are carrying
Three more hours and another teenage youth
will have committed suicide
While his mothers crying
Gun advocates are on TV lying
To the public
about how people are the ones who kill
and guns don't
Until we have gun control
we can't stop these ten year olds
From going in their father's closet
Where the gun was left unlocked and loaded.
Where does it end?
When everyone gets their own piece,
dividend
[scratch] Its Genocide... can't you see...
[scratch] Obviously none of you can be trusted with guns. So I'm going to take them away from you.
Driving down Guerrero
Cut off a psycho kid looks like Sendero
Luminoso words are froze so
I don't start talking shit or acting macho
You could get popped in a minute
This is the wild, wild west and we're in it
And my kids don't want no play
When they have to worry about duckin’ spray
Or two drunks having an argument
In front of our apartment
When I hear that sound, I yell,
"Everyone get inside and get down."
GET DOWN!
Get the fuck down!

'democracy has so disappeared in the United States'
Consolidated hasn't been shown on TV.
Consolidated is not obtainable in stores.
Consolidated is not even a consumer product...yet.
This is no rock and roll band.
It's a unique creative vision
of a small, isolated group of individuals.
A team that's skilled and dedicated,
searching for the knowledge,
that will enable them to improve the quality of their lives,
and the lives of those around them.
Consolidated - Consolidated - Consolidated - Consolidated
You'll address and rectify a personal history of general disregard for all life - human and environmental.
You'll behave in a manner befitting your stature.
You'll exhibit profound humility in the company of all women and peoples of color.
You'll abstain from acts of idle or wrongful gratification.
You'll abstain from substance abuse or profit off exploitation.
This is no consumer product, help us win the war against inequality - racist, sexist, and economic -- before it's too late.
Consolidated - Consolidated - Consolidated - Consolidated -Consolidated - Consolidated - CON-SOL-I-DATED - Consolidated
This is neither law, religion, philosophy, or fashion
and should never be represented as su-uuuuuuuuuuch
You'll reassess and prioritize your life in accordance, with the principles of intelligence, compassion, and accountability.
The status of family, friends, and community are foremost
in your thoughts at all times,
and are inseparable from the creative process itself.
This is no rock and roll band.
It's a democratically executed forum
for social and political transformation...in effect!
Consolidated - Consolidated - Consolidated - Consolidated - Consolidated - Consolidated - CON-SOL-I-DATED -
'the country has always devalued black bodies.
has never seen black people as worthy of protection'
'this is American justice.
this is American democracy.
And those of you who are familiar with it
know that in America democracy is a hypocracy'
[x3]
'a hypocracy'
'democracy is a hypocracy'

I quit my job today
but i quit giving up a long long time ago
being an activist doesn't pay
still gotta pay the rent and utilities
somehow but i don't know
I’s reading the op-ed page today
a conservative priest just ripped me for advocating
safe sex for teenagers
he said this is god's punishment
we'll feel sorry for her tragedy but
she got what she deserves
i don't want your sympathy
i don't need your platitudes
this father's no different from my own father
so my friends and my family
why should i listen to you
you never listen to me
everyday i ask the same questions (same)
everyday i wonder what you'd think if you were me
call me if you have time
it's strange to see my old friends when they're out at night
maybe I'll take some time to travel
right now I'm just trying to keep things level
but sometimes i lose it
today is my birthday
I'm gonna be twenty and i'm HIV positive
i contracted it a year ago
you all have to understand that it's part of our reality
and the person next to you could be hiv positive
your lover could be HIV positive and they don't know
you have to be careful
every time i see my reflection i start crying
but i refuse to let you tell me my life is just dying
my will is strong but time has double meaning and it cuts like a knife
at the time i was diagnosed i'd only had three lovers in my life
why should i answer to you
you never answer to me
everyday i ask the same questions
every day i make big decisions
i'll deal with the consequences of my reality
i'm only telling you because no-one ever told me
In the meantime i stay healthy
my only regret is i'll never have a baby
i used to catch myself saying
maybe

[Bobby Seale]
"When we went to the capital, we were there to deliver a message based upon our understanding of what racism is and how it is inflicted upon us in our communities in America, and deliver this message to the world."
"...that we were anti-white. That we hold no bones... This is a quote.
Pick no bones about being anti-white.
This is a bold faced lie!
We don’t hate nobody because of their color.
We hate oppression!
We hate the murder of black people in our communities
We hate the gross unemployment that exists in our communities"
“We don’t hate nobody because of their color.”
“We don’t hate nobody because of their color.”
“We don’t hate nobody because of their color.
We hate oppression!”
The history of oppression.
You know we can’t erase it in a pop song
but the facts we gotta face it.
Men rape women and man rapes the environment.
And people with opposed religious views are violent.
How can we advance with a memory so short.
We live in a society that kills animals for sport.
And how can we discuss gender, class, or race
when we can’t respect the rights of lesbians and gays.
[Greta Thunberg]
'People are suffering.
People are dying.
Entire ecosystems are collapsing'
[Harvey Milk]
“We must destroy the myths once and for all and shatter them. We must continue to speak out”
In our efforts to make a difference we specialize
but the contradiction arise. We fail to realize
the damages done to the Native American.
These singular issues —
I just can’t understand
how you can love one
and have hatred for another.
You torture your sisters while saying peace to your brothers.
As long as we insist on being so aggressive,
we will continue to play the role of the oppressor.
When men and women, straight and gay,
whites and non-whites begin to unite;
when humans can treat non-human species with fairness and dignity,
then only then is there Unity.
[x2]
Gotta understand the concept of Unity… of Oppression
Make a sacrifice for the price of Unity.
To all the white liberals and non-white militants
that over-simplify the impact of prejudice.
Blame it on the whites and you’re right but it keeps us divided;
that agenda becomes short-sighted.
I hear you condemning all racist sentiments
and then I hear you making anti-Semitic comments.
Instead of only allowing one type of equality,
place the blame on each other.
Yet we should be expanding our scope
of understanding and hope.
Just posing some questions
and make some suggestions.
We don’t claim to speak from a position of authority,
we only want one thing and that’s Unity.
[x5]
Gotta understand the concept of Unity… of Oppression
Make a sacrifice for the price of Unity.
[Harvey Milk]
"to the gay community all over this state, my message to you is, so far a lot of people joined us and rejected Proposition 6, and now we owe them something. We owe them to continue the education campaign that took place. We must destroy the myths once and for all, shatter them. We must continue to speak out, and most importantly, most importantly, every gay person must come out..."
[Bobby Seale]
“We don’t hate nobody because of their color"
"We don’t hate nobody because of their color"
"We don’t hate nobody because of their color.
We hate oppression!
We hate the murder of black people in our communities
We hate the gross unemployment that exists in our communities"
[Harvey Milk]
"...every gay person must come out. As difficult as it is, you must tell your immediate family, you must tell your relatives, you must tell your friends, if indeed they are your friends, you must tell your neighbors, you must tell the people you work with, you must tell the people in the stores you shop in (thunderous applause), and once they realize that we are indeed their children, that we are indeed everywhere, every myth, every lie, every innuendo will be destroyed once and for all. And once you do, you will feel so much better."
[x4]
Unity.

well well well here we go go again
hoarding much gilders no dollars no yen
papa just signed a fat deal
both babies need new shoes
and what about my homie Josh?
i'm not complaining
I'm just explaining
to the people that
the public grind can be draining
when i got in it i was poor
not samuel becket
but i'm still waiting for good dough
I just want to bust some loops
now some c.e.o got me jumping through hoops
Yeah. Well i used to be Mr. Nice Guy
now i'll have my lawyer put your dick in a vice guy
Cause i'm over this rock'n roll circus
and this will be the last time a label tries to jerk us
'cause we can get worked on Nettwerk
but i'll be damned if i ever get Play It Again Sam
Play It Again Sam
Fuck that!
first you get a call from a.&r.
licking my ass saying i'll make you a star
then i'm hearing about band label unity
i'm thinking fuck that shit stick the money into my community
you talk about the trust you want to build though
when you change your mind get behind me with a dildo
twelfth hour stalled negotiation
no economic sodomy without representation
when it's over have fun
yeah, but as soon as the record is done
get your ass on the road to rape and pillage
like vikings sacking all the villages
don't care about your nervous breakdowns
just as long as the bus doesn't break down
and the product manager doesn't care
she just says get in your little suits
and get your asses up there
get your asses up there
fuck that
fuck all of that
i live in the rain forest
don't preach to no chorus
activists adore us
some press got it in for us
you know my style
I got a wife and childs
i'm not down with the mob
or the pedophiles
for over five years
i've been your hypocrite
we were distributed by a major
then so who gives a shit
hip hop suits
industrial boots
don't care what you wear
we're all prostitutes
whining dining
now sign the fucking bottom line
well well well
what the fuck do we have here
gouge your eyes out
like Kurosawa's King Lear
in the end i don't give a fuck
that to you i'm just a write off or a quick buck
after i'm gone you'll still have your job
and no you can't have the fucking back catalog
i'm still smoking blunts on the corner
with the college promo guy from Warner's
if you're going to be a ho,
sorry, it's a dog and pony show

I know you're really proud, cause you think you're well-hung,
But I think it's time you learn how to use your tongue.
You say you want things to be even and you want things to be fair,
But you're afraid to get your teeth caught in my pubic hair.
If you're lying there expecting me to suck your dick,
You're going to have to give me more than just a token lick.
Well, you may not like it but you better learn how,
'Cause it's your turn now.
Now, you suck
If you're worried about babies, you can lower your risk-
By giving me that special cunnilingus kiss.
It's on your face that I'm gonna sit.
You can wiggle, you can jiggle your tongue on my clit.
Don't worry about making me have an orgasm.
Just take your time and do it with enthusiasm.
I can tell it's making you scared jut thinking of it,
But you better learn to love it.
Now, you suck
When you hear safe sex, you snicker under your breath.
We got to take cover, we're flirting with death.
Aids is our problem, we've got to talk.
Break out your dental dam and your latex sock.
I'm your latex lover wrapped like a gift,
Got my microwave plastic wrap heating up my clit.
Dinners on, get busy with my booty.
Got a couple of flavors, sweet licorice and fruity.
I know you're sad, luscious pussy with a cover.
I'm aching, too, we can't taste each other.
...
Well, I know you think it's a real drag,
To suck my cunt when I'm on the rag.
Quit making up stories, yeah give me a break.
'Cause I really don't believe you've got a headache.
Now, you suck,
