  sight to the blind, mind sight through the mindI
  exercise my right to express when I feel it's
  timeIt's just all in your mind, what you
  interpret it asI say to fight you take it as Im
  going to whip someone's assIf you don't
  understand don't even bother to askA father who
  has grown up with a fatherless pastWho has blown
  up now to rap phenomenon that hasOr at least
  shows no difficulty multi taskAnd juggling both,
  perhaps mastered his craft slashEntrepreneur who
  has held long too few more rap actsWho has had a
  few obstacles thrown his way through the last
  halfOf his career typical manure moving past
  thatMister kiss his ass crack, he's a class
  actRubber band man, yea he just snaps back Come

  us right through the doorsTo the people up top,
  on the side and the middle,Come together, let's
  all bomb and swamp just a littleJust let it
  gradually build, from the front to the backAll
  you can see is a sea of people, some white and
  some blackDon't matter what color, all that
  matters is we gathered togetherTo celebrate for
  the same cause, no matter the weatherIf it rains
  let it rain, yea the wetter the betterThey ain't
  gonna stop us, they can't, we're stronger now

  us something, maybe this is God just sayingwe're
  responsible for this monster, this coward, that
  we have empoweredThis is Bin Laden, look at his
  head nodding,How could we allow something like
  this, Without pumping our fistNow this is our,
  final hourLet me be the voice, and your
  strength, and your choiceLet me simplify the
  rhyme, just to amplify the noiseTry to amplify
  the times it, and multiply it by sixTeen million
  people are equal of this high pitchMaybe we can
  reach Al Quaida through my speechLet the
  President answer on high anarchyStrap him with
  AK-47, let him goFight his own war, let him
  impress daddy that wayNo more blood for oil, we
  got our own battles to fight on our soilNo more
  psychological warfare to trick us to think that
  we ain't loyalIf we don't serve our own country
  we're patronizing a heroLook in his eyes, it's
  all lies, the stars and stripesThey've been
  swiped, washed out and wiped,And Replaced with
  his own face, mosh now or dieIf I get sniped
  tonight you'll know why, because I told you to
  fight So come along, follow me as I lead through
  the darknessAs I provide just enough spark, that
  we need to proceedCarry on, give me hope, give
  me strength,Come with me, and I won't stear you
  wrongPut your faith and your trust as I guide us
  through the fogTill the light, at the end, of
  the tunnel, we gonna fight,We gonna charge, we
  gonna stomp, we gonna march through the swampWe
  gonna mosh through the marsh, take us right
  through the doorsEminem speaking angrilyAnd as
  we proceed, to mosh through this desert storm, in
  these closing statements,if they should argue,
  let us beg to differ, as we set aside our
  differences,and assemble our own army, to disarm
  this weapon of mass destructionthat we call our
  president, for the present,and mosh for the
  future of our next generation,

System of a Down A.D.D

• We fought your wars with all our hearts,You sent
  us back in body parts,You took our wills with
  the truth you stole,We offer prayers for you
  long lost soul.The remainder is,An
  unjustifiable, egotistical, power struggleAt the
  expense of the American Dream,Of the American
  Dream, of the American.We don't give a damn
  about your world,With all your global profits,
  and all your jeweled pearls,We don't give a damn
  about your world,Right now, right now.There is
  no flag that is large enough,To hide the shame
  of a man in cuffs,You switched the signs then
  you closed our blinds,You changed the channel
  then you changed our minds.We don't give a damn
  about your world,With all your global profits,
  and all your jeweled pearls,We don't give a damn
  about your world,Right now, right now.We don't
  give a damn about your world,With all your
  global profits, and all your jeweled pearls,We
  don't give a damn about your world,Right now,
  right now.No flag large enough,Shame on a man
  in cuffs,You closed your blinds.The remainder
  is,An unjustifiable, egotistical, power
  struggle,At the expense of the American
  Dream,Of the American Dream, of the American,Of
  the American.We don't give a damn about your
  world,With all your global profits, and all your
  jeweled pearls,We don't give a damn about your
  world,Right now, right now.We don't give a
  damn about your world,With all your global
  profits, and all your jeweled pearls,We don't
  give a damn about your world,Right now, right
  now. right now, right now,Right now, right now,
