Testo Rich Man's War - John Trudell
Testo della canzone Rich Man's War (John Trudell), tratta dall'album AKA Grafitti Man (Original 1986 Version)
Rich Man's War
Industrial streets, class lines, money talks
Turning language to paper pieces
Rich Man's War
Free Man's Society, raging violent insecurity
Nuclear Man, Nuclear Woman, unclear how to act
Rich Man's War
Pershings cruising Europe, America, Russia
Governmental nuclear views
Industrial allies cutting the world
As though they cannot see blood flowing
Rich Man's War
Central America bleeding, wounds same as Palestine and Harlem
Three Mile Island in El Salvador, Pine Ridge in Belfast
Rich Man's War
The poor, starving for food, starving for land
Starving for peace, starving for real
Rich Man's War
Attacking human, attacking being
Attacking Earth, attacking tomorrow
Rich Man's War
Thinking of always war, thinking of always war
With machines for ancestors
New unborn generations
Chemical umbilical cords are only wiring
In your electrical progress
Human lives burnt offerings to the God Greed
With lies for ancestors
There is no truth in some futures
Rulers of minds feeding next generation souls to the control machine
Sacrifice ritual for the profit of technology
With isolation for ancestors
There's only the present bought by the credit material uses
Forging chains binding you to destruction
Compliments of your deities, the industrial priest
No more than neon flash
Trying hiding in eon masks
Have to face who we really are, some point we have no choice
Distant star, distant light
In real world we are human beings
In shadow of real world we are being human
Eon mask for neon flash
Distant thunder, distant cloud
Passion's rain, drenched in possession
What we take is hard to do
What we do is hard to take
Someones are crazy or maybe we take turns
Dreaming about some kind of life
We say it could have been different
But it wasn't because we weren't
No matter what it turns out the same
A lot of things we said weren't true
Industrial stories in an electric instant
Eon mask, neon flash, neon flash
Thing is nihilistic desires
Civilized gone insane
Didn't imagine it turning like this
Some things start good and go bad
Some things get bad and stay bad
Are we caught in between living a lie or not living at all?
Eliminated choices lost in dreams we let go
Memories we never got to have, something else to think about
Waking up in industrial society surrounded by angry days
Going through motions of not being
Wanting the best but not expecting it
Surviving paid for in dreams
Feeling like a world alone
Serving God with the Devil to pay
Feeling like something in no place
What goes on in Hell anyway?
Thing is, it has to do with heart
We have to understand what hearts are for before we can get back
To Heaven or Paradise or the power in our mind
