Nil Carborundum Illegitimi

 

Ipse Dixit … the dogma man,

He’s gonna get you . . . any way he can.

Nil Desperandum . . . don’t despair,

If we stand we’ll still be there.

Nil Desperandum . . . don’t give in,

If we band then we shall win.

 

Prevail man, if not devour,

Not fail man, nor ever cower.

 

Ipse Dixit … I said to myself,

You ain’t gonna leave me . . . dying on the shelf.

Nil Carborundum Illegitimi,

Don’t let the bastards grind you down.

Nil Carborundum Illegitimi,

Don’t let the masters steal your ground.

 

’Cos they will do if we let ’em,

So we got to go and get ’em.

Meltdown

Fishes swimming in oil crops are grown in radioactive soil Ive become the zombie that I am and you can call me Mr. Megatron man for eons and ages we work for the wages my fingers be doin the walkin on the yellow pages dont you just hate this my phones kinda busted the systems ancient and its rustier than rusted Im infected and can never be corrected although I was breastfed I can never be connected the world is cursed with methods so perverse watch the process of the universe in reverse I believe leaves grieve in the forestry tears of sap is a mishap of the industry shield my eyes from the smog-filled skies cover my ears so I cant hear the lies Im versatile I was born to be a man child in the urban jungle living in the wild im gonna survive

PEACE ON EARTH

I come in peace extend my hand to the next man in sight No need to fight black & white red and brown unite All the peoples of the world we gotta make a stand

Because I cant understand why a man kills another man/

Where is the love and respect I stand corrected To be protected is a right of all and we expect that The safety of the young is the safety of us all  and if we kill em all then thats the beginning of our downfall/

 Apalled by the apathy of the administration Students demonstrate while somebodys on vacation Syndicates lurkin in the underground like a plague Clues are vague but its clearly gang related/

 Id like to see the day when  we can walk without fear Without having to hear gunshots ringing in your ear I pray someday that we can all be getting along Singin a song we can be singing all night long/

 

There wont be Peace on Earth Unless we live as one We look for peace all our lives For man, woman and child

 

We have a lot of wars goin on around the world But I have heard that wars can also be averred Failure to communicate with one another is the reason Not a lease on life but its a reason to be releasing /

Missiles lightin up the sky till it turns red Bombs blowin up on innocents in this blood shed Count the dead, theres too many lives hangin by a thread See the wounded on CNN bodies full of lead /

Feel the trauma, watch the camera catch the drama Baby and mama killed by the Terrorist bomber /

And Im a say this cuz this is what I have to say If it werent for greed, theyd all be still alive today I say why cant we all be pacified and civilized/

 Recognize the good in each and everyones life Just realize that there wont be peace on earth Until we learn to measure how much is a life worth/

 

 Upon wakin up do we say thank you to God? Why is our God different from your God? Isnt that odd? /

Or even when we try to cleanse our soul and take control We always end up playin out a role on a TV show I know/

 its kinda crazy but in a way makes sense That whoever was sent to save the world pays rent Repent and discover the essence of existence For instance, if life was a race can we go the distance?/

 And its just whoever says Come forth with Is he a prophet for profit or is he makin money off it? Alotta souls to save and alotta pockets burned Alotta money earned from the soul searchin that we yearn for/

 Therefore lemme suggest an amendment Wherefore wed have 11 commandments Thou Shalt not use thy Lords name to make money Theres a space in Hades for hypocrisy
