Bullet In The Head

I have had this in my head for about a month so I hope if I share it it may make space in there for something else.


BULLET IN THE HEAD
-Rage Against the Machine


This time the bullet cold rocked ya
A yellow ribbon instead of a swastika
Nothin' proper about ya propaganda
Fools follow rules when the set commands ya
Said it was blue
When ya blood was read
That's how ya got a bullet blasted through ya head


I give a shout out to the living dead
Who stood and watched as the feds cold centralized
So serene on the screen
You were mesmerised
Cellular phones soundin' a death tone
Corporations cold
Turn ya to stone before ya realise
They load the clip in omnicolour
Said they pack the 9, they fire it at prime time
Sleeping gas, every home was like Alcatraz
And mutha fuckas lost their minds


Just victims of the in-house drive-by
They say jump, you say how high


No escape from the mass mind rape
Play it again jack and then rewind the tape
And then play it again and again and again
Until ya mind is locked in
Believin' all the lies that they're tellin' ya
Buyin' all the products that they're sellin' ya
They say jump and ya say how high
Ya brain-dead
Ya gotta fuckin' bullet in ya head


Just victims of the in-house drive-by
They say jump, you say how high


Ya standin' in line
Believin' the lies
Ya bowin' down to the flag
Ya gotta bullet in ya head
