Supreme sodomy
Humane lobotomy
Perpetrated by the originalist ideology
Adjudicated with the constitution of Theology
Originally it was union of mixed race
Then upon the altar of tradition same sex marriage displaced
Forcing the steps of progress to be retraced
The struggle for justice is never a closed case
They came for the establishment clause
And i said nothing
They came for the 4th, 5th, 8th, and 9th amendments
And i said nothing
They came for humanity to fund plutocracy
And i said nothing
Heard the word of Pastor Niemoller
And felt compelled to never stop speaking
For the Voiceless my cords are shrieking
Six, seven, eight, nine sitting on a bench
From which they opine putting privacy in a pinch
Being secure in your house, person, paper, and effects
According to the court, does not include your emails and texts
Warrant not required for search and seizure
Apparently everyone uses technology at their leisure
If you don’t want your data mined
Please feel free to return to the land before time
They came for the establishment clause
And i said nothing
They came for the 4th, 5th, 8th, and 9th amendments
And i said nothing
They came for humanity to fund plutocracy
And I said nothing
In honor of Thomas Paine
I committed to this game
He spoke of the sunshine patriot and the summertime soldier
Winter is coming and I’m growing bolder
Economic ship sank into recess
Banks too big, had to bail out of due process
They say rising tide lifts all boats
Around life liberty and property created moats
Sales portray the cross of privatization
The situation of free market participation
Idealogues backed up by so much shit, it’s economic constipation
Freedom stroked so hard it’s mental masturbation
Market forces, Laissez Faire is the provocation
Concentration of Capital is the realization
Now, thanks to the highest court in the land
Freedom of speech guided by the invisible hand
They came for the establishment clause
And I said nothing
They came for the 4th, 5th, 8th, and 9th amendments
And i said nothing
They came for humanity to fund plutocracy
And I said nothing
Got lyrically with Eric B and Talib Kweli and he told me
In this Journey you’re the journal, i’m journalist
On representation and reporting is a cease and desist
Gag order on torture, who’s the extremist?
Guantanamo Bay Convictionless
And punishment so cruel
Pipeline to prison straight from school
“Kids for Cash” is not an exception to the rule
For Industry, private prisons are just another tool
Profits over people we’ve pledged allegiance
Lettin’ the titans anoint the regents
They came for the establishment clause
And I said nothing
They came for the 4th, 5th, 8th, and 9th Amendments
And I said nothing
They came for humanity to fund plutocracy
And I said nothing
Read Politics and the English language
Inside burned with anguish
He said if thought could corrupt language
Then language could corrupt thought
Right then and there decided, neither of mine could be bought
A search for truth I sought
And these rhymes are so it’s not all for naught
