Propaganda Lyrics - Let's Get Free - Dead Prez

Let me now turn to our program for the future 

The economy right now, is extremely supportive 

Of the President and his policies 

FBI scientists have found chemical traces 

Consistent with a bomb or a missile on a piece of wreckage 

Police using clubs and tear gas against demonstrators 

They called me a motherfucking so and so and a white fascist 

Like they said, "You're getting some of your own medicine" 

Telling lies to our children 

Telling lies to our children 

Telling lies to our babies 

Only truth can take us 

You can't fool all the people all of the time 

But if you fool the right ones, then the rest will fall behind 

Tell me who's got control of your mind, your world view 

Is it the news or the movie you're taking your girl to? 

Know what I'm saying 'cause Uncle Sam got a plan 

If you examine what they telling us then you will understand 

What they planting in the seeds of the next generation 

Feeding our children miseducation 

No one knows if there's UFOs or any life on Mars 

Or what they do when they up in the stars 

Because I don't believe a word of what the President said 

He filling our head with lies got us hypnotized 

When he be speaking in cold words about crime and poverty 

Drugs, welfare, prisons, guns and robbery 

It really means us, there's no excuse for the slander 

But what's good for the goose, is still good for the gander 

See 

I don't believe Bob Marley died from cancer 

31 years ago I woulda been a panther 

They killed Huey 'cause they knew he had the answer 

The views that you see in the news is propaganda 

Telling lies to our children 

Telling lies to our children 

Telling lies to our babies 

Only truth can take us 

I don't want no computer chip in my arm 

I don't wanna die by a nuclear bomb 

I say we all rush the Pentagon, pull out guns 

And grab the intercom, my first word's will be I believe 

Man made God outta ignorance and fear 

If God made man then why the hell would He put us here? 

I thought He's supposed to be the all loving 

The same God who let Hitler put the Jews in the oven 

We don't fall for the regular shit, they try to feed us 

All this half-ass leadership, flipping position 

They turn politician and shut the hell up and follow tradition 

For your TV screen is telling lies to your vision 

Every channel got some brainwashed cop shit to watch 

Running up in niggas cribs claiming that they heard shots 

It's a plot but busta can you tell me who's greedier? 

Big corporations, the pigs or the media? 

Sign of the times, terrorism on the rise 

Commercial airplanes, falling out the sky like flies 

Make me wonder what secrets went down with Bob Brown 

Who burnt churches to the ground with no evidence found? 

It's not coincidence, it's been too many studied incidents 

It coulda been the Klan who put that bomb at the Olympics 

But it probably was the FBI, deep at the call 

'Cause if they make us all panic then they can start martial law 

I don't believe Bob Marley died from cancer 

31 years ago I woulda been a panther 

They killed Huey 'cause they knew he had the answer 

The views that you see in the news is propaganda 

I don't believe Bob Marley died from cancer 

31 years ago I woulda been a panther 

They killed Huey 'cause they knew he had the answer 

The views that you see in the news is motherfucking propaganda 

Police is telling lies fooling millions 

What are they teaching our kids in these school buildings? 

Televised, enterprised in all the killing 

Controlling our lives, this ain't living, no this ain't living 

FBI, CIA, ATF, KKK 

IRS, TNT, CBS, NBC 

FBI, CIA, ATF, KKK 

IRS, TNT, CBS, NBC 

Telling lies to our children 

Telling lies to our children 

Telling lies to our babies 

Only truth can take us 

We view each other with a great love and a great understanding 

And that we try to expand this to the general black population 

And also people, oppressed people all over the world 

And, I think that we differ from some other groups simply 

Because we understand the system better 

Than most groups understand the system and with this 

Realization, we attempt to form a strong political base 

Based in the community with the only strength 

That we have and that's the strength of 

A potentially destructive force if we don't get freedom
