Seems to me like
They want us to be afraid, man
Or maybe we just like being afraid
Maybe we just so used to it
At this point
That it's just a part of us
Part of our culture
Security alert on orange
It's been on orange since '01 G,
I mean what's up man?
Can't a brother get yellow man?
Just for like, two months
Or something?
God damn !
Sick o' that !
Mic check . . .
The groove is dead
So I'm a rhyme like a lunatic
I do this shit with an unassuming wit
The corporation conjured up
The bass and the tempo
My name is Liff
That's the intro
Now let's go!
The flow of life
Throwing strife into the mix
The big dark condition
And the word is sick
The powers that be
A power in me
To speak a cause
Stress and strife that I see every day
And more to speak upon
Culture of fear
It's up in your ear
They're telling us
Terrorists about to strike
May be tonight
R I G H T ! ! !
Let me just back up slowly
With critical analysis
Of those who control me
It used to be we
Just had a screen in the crib
On the TV
But now we carry screens
When we leave see
Laptops, smart phones,
Now we're never alone
A new affliction
I call it media dome
But on the road famine
Is the programming
You want to watch a favorite show
Because it's so slamming
Hold hands and let's gaze
Into the beautiful glare
While we're here so immersed
In this culture of fear
We fear the IRS
Fear the INS
Fear God
I'm more afraid of the planet
Than the terror squad
Weapons overseas
Mastercard and Visa
Want to buy me the greed
They deceive
The enemy is in the fine print
They assassinate Sally
With no sense of the selling
Represent an element ahead
A sentiment that you feel
On the road for real
The deal starts with a spark
Concludes with a hand shake
Physical to alter
The subliminal landscape
Relief thinking
I can really trust that guy
To be honest,
Could have,
Should have,
Really punched that guy
Now it's operation shank a banker
Thank you for the loan
See you when you come
To repossess my home
Alone at night sweating
With visions of Armageddon
I never seen the threat
Yet I feel threatened
Parts of our society
Designed to smear
Freedom don't succumb
To this culture of fear
(Fear fear fear)
Don't succumb
To this culture of fear
(Fear fear fear)
Don't succumb
To this culture of fear
(Fear fear fear !)
