Lyrics & Translation
[English]
Everybody knows the damn truthOur nation lied, and lost respect
When we wake up, what can we do?
Get the kids ready
Take them to school
Everybody knows they don't have a chance
To get a decent job
To have a normal life
When they talk reforms, it makes me laugh
They pretend to help, it makes me laugh
I think I understand why people get a gun
I think I understand why we all give up
Every day they have a kind of victory
Loving ourselves, spread everywhere
They say that we need love
But we need more than this
We lost god control
We lost god control
We lost god control
We lost god control
This is your wake-up call
I'm like your nightmare
I'm here to start your day
This is your wake-up call
We don't have to fall
A new democracy!
God and pornography!
A new democracy!
People think that I'm insane
The only gun is in my brain
Each new birth, it gives me hope
That's why I don't smoke that dope
Insane people think I am
Brain inside my only friend
Hope it gives me birth each new
That dope I don't smoke it's true
Everybody knows the damn truth
We need to wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
It's a hustle, yeah
It's a hustle
It's a con
It's a hustle
It's a weird kind of energy
A bizarre thing that happens to be
An abnormal fraternity
And I feel more than sympathy
People think that I'm insane
The only gun is in my brain
Each new birth, it gives me hope
That's why I don't smoke that dope
Insane people think I am
Brain inside my only friend
Hope it gives me birth each new
That dope I don't smoke it's true
Everybody knows the damn truth
We need to wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
We lost god control
