Wastelands

This is war with no weapons
Marching with no stepping
Murder with no killing
Illing every direction.

First, no sequel, do the math
No equal
A John with no Yoko
More power, less people
And yeah I'm not afraid of that
Print in your paperback
Every rap is made in fact
To act as a delayed attack
Every phrase a razor blade
And save it till they play it back
Slay 'em leave 'em laying on the pavement
Bang
Fade to black.

[Chorus:]
In the wastelands of today
When there's nothing left to lose
And and there's nothing more to take
But you force yourself to choose
In the wastelands of today
When tomorrow disappears
When the future slips away
And your hope turns into fear
In the wastelands of today.

Roll credits, forget it
The show's done
They're talking for just talking
Meaning they got none
None of you come proper
They talk like a shotgun
But how many of you got bred with integrity
Not one.

So no, I'm not afraid to see
You suckers hold a blade to me
Ain't no way to shake the ground
I built before you came to be
Take it how you take it
I'm the opposite of vacancy
And this not negotiation
I can hear you
Wait and see.

[Chorus]
