Satanic Reverses Lyrics - Singles - The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy

In the 1970's 

The OPEC nations began to dominate 

The world's oil economy 

In the 1980's, Japan became the world's 

Number one economic power 

In 1989 the nations of Eastern Europe 

Attempted to restructure 

While in the United States civil rights have 

Collapsed at the hands of fundamentalists 

And national insecurity's at an all time high 

Exxon and on and on and on 

The ministers of double speak 

New meanin' of clean they tried to teach us 

They staged the phoney shampoo of the Valdez greases 

Completely jheri curled the beaches 

Pipe bomb for the NAACP 

And a hit on Salman Rushdie, the Berlin Wall comes down 

And the U.S. cracks down on illegal aliens 

Ban the freedom of choice for those wantin' abortion 

And enforce capitol punishment 

Twenty four hour radio ban 

For indecency determined by the F.U.C.C. 

Why are we so anesthetized to the lies? 

Because we do it in our own lives 

We believe all the things that we want to hear 

But then we also love to criticize 

Bail out the banks loan art to the churches 

Satanic Reverses 

Bail-out the banks loan art to the churches 

Satanic Reverses 

Bail out the banks loan art to the churches 

Satanic Reverses 

Bail out the banks loan art to the churches

In 1992 the European economic community will reform 

In 1997 the city of Hong Kong will become 

A part of the People's Republic of China 

In 1999, and this is no coincidence 

The nation of Panama will control it's own canal 

While in the United States 

Civil rights have collapsed at the hands of Fundamentalists 

And national insecurity's at an all time high 

Helms said ban the photograph of the piss Christ 

It's sacreligious not an art 

While we all try to discern between our cup of tea 

And what we call obscenity, the house's legislation 

Ripped the phoney foundation off what we thought inherent 

Sent Joey to the Supreme Court 

'Cause he made a statement, they called it 

Desecration of the symbol that was meant to represent 

The freedom of so called choice and dissent 

They almost had me believin' it, they were bleedin' him 

He said, "Burn baby, burn" 

'Til the street Samurai said to my face 

That any flag that's worth a shit 

Was woven from fire in the first place 

Bail out the banks loan art to the churches
