THE PEOPLE R TIRED
Featuring Margeaux

Yo-Yo
Ahoy

CHORUS
The people r tired
The people r tired
The people r tired
So damn tired

The people r tired of bein' told what to believe
Those cluster bombs messages are out to deceive
Shootin' the messenger will help in this case
There's a race for gain behind the military face
But it's hard to chase down and isolate the greed
Every Yanked out weed has already spawned seed
Indeed, it ain't so easy to dumb down the masses
Your propaganda hangs like clouds of pungent gasses
The fascists r re-arranging the New World Order
Tellin' us what's good for our sons and daughters
They're working so hard to re-define borders
But solvin' self-made problems with quarters
You wanna buy my brain but you can't afford this
Slowly but surely you're losin' your supporters
You can't use violence to ever find peace
Your imperial disease will bring you to your knees

CHORUS
The people r tired of bein' tired of your lies
You always try to pull the wool over their eyes
I got my ears wide shut to your force-fed news
Them networks r extensions of your views
Reporting on collateral damage like it's the norm
Destroying other countries… You stay true to form
The dies have been cast you know you won't last
Your star's shot in the ass and burnin' out fast
What you amassed is still drenched in blood
While your soldiers lie facedown in the mud
Every body bag's avenged with a scud
Foreign soil will become your graveyard
Food for oil replaces payment for toil
The hawk's interference bringing things to a boil
The people won't recoil and prey to the heaven
They will attack 9 times out of 11

CHORUS
The people r tired of bein' told what to wear
That it can only be good if it's seen in Vanity Fair
What do I care if my look is so last season
As long as I feel good I don't need to give a reason
To commit treason for not wearing the right brand
I'll wear your logo if you put some money in my hand
Understand… I ain't nobody's walking billboard
No values to distort I'll wear what I can afford
I can still breathe fine without wearing Hilfiger
I'll wear threads that will complement my slim figure
Anyway, most of the brands r made here under licence
Still folks run to annual sales like stampeding bisons
Thinking they're buying into some foreign designer
But he's only diggin' into your pockets like he's a miner
The finer things in life are always found close to home
You'll find a snake under every foreign stone

The people r tired:
Of the world using Africa as its dumping ground
The oppression of our culture
Rich countries getting richer
While the Third World covers the whole world
Corrupt financial markets
The death of free trade
Protectionism in global markets
This multi-national exploitation in Africa
If you feel the same way, sing along

Ahoy

Of Hollywood and all it epitomizes
Those damn Home shopping channels
Artificial reality television
And people lifting you up then bringing you down
Not enough jobs to go around
Never having enough money
Those traffic cops jumpin' out of bushes
Drug lords and their pushers

Sing along
The people r tired
We ain't takin' it no more
So damn tired
