1. American Dream
Born with a rusty spoon in your mouth- Grew up went to school, got high and dropped out- You’re gonna get a job just like your dad’s- when he dies will you rise to his place ? Now who’s bee had ? I’ll tell ya who- You’re livin’ the American Dream- Rise up the ladder and go for the green – Ya got thirty kids and a wife to take care of you- When you die will they remember to bury you ?
Middle class morals awash in your brain- You ain't satisfied with your piece of the fame- The boys at the top they always stay the same- They’d love to help you but they don’t know your name- Such a shame- Gotta feel it- live it -Don’t die for it Your livin’ the American Dream- Climb up the ladder and go for the green- Ya got thirty kids and a wife to enslave ya- When you die will they remember your grave ?
2. You Be The Judge
Has the illusion driven you to tears- With your confusion, naivety’ and fear ? Have you accepted elitist rule and poverty? Have you elected to reject the likes of me / You be the judge Was this intended-is it some major plan? Are you offended- It’s gotten so out of hand? What’s your decision- on bloody politics? Catch our vision-show your fastest licks You be the judge Your honor- The verdict is in- In a unanimous vote by it’s peers- We find society GUILTY- Are you holding a grudge against presidents and queens ? You be the judge of what you think’s obscene
3. Get Ready
All of my life –too much free advice from the fools- I’d have to change –they say that I’m strange- too cool. My life ain’t been wasted ‘cuz power I’ve tasted I know- Takin a piece of the pie in my teeth and I won’t let go- Get ready for the times of your life- Get ready tonight- Get Ready- we’ve got your surprise- Been working hard – got our hands on the cards -take a chance- Makin’ a stand with the boys in the band-street stance- Get ready
