《The 4th Branch》歌词

[00:00:00] The 4th Branch - Immortal Technique

[00:00:03] The new age is upon us

[00:00:06] And yet the past refuses to rest in its shallow grave

[00:00:10] For those who hide behind the false image of the son of man

[00:00:14] Shall stand before God It has begun

[00:00:24] The beginning of the end

[00:00:28] Yeah

[00:00:33] Yeah yeah yeah

[00:00:38] The voice of racism preaching the gospel is devilish

[00:00:41] A fake church called the prophet Muhammad a terrorist

[00:00:44] Forgetting God is not a religion but a spiritual bond

[00:00:47] And Jesus is the most quoted prophet in the Qu'ran

[00:00:50] They bombed innocent people tryin' to murder Saddam

[00:00:53] When you gave him those chemical weapons to go to war with Iran

[00:00:56] This is the information that they hold back from Peter Jennings

[00:01:00] Cause Condoleeza Rice is just a new age Sally Hemmings

[00:01:03] I break it down with critical language and spiritual anguish

[00:01:07] The Judas I hang with the guilt of betraying Christ

[00:01:10] You murdered and stole his religion and painting him white

[00:01:12] Translated in psychologically tainted philosophy

[00:01:16] Conservative political right wing ideology

[00:01:19] Glued together sloppily the blasphemy of a nation

[00:01:22] Got my back to the wall cause I'm facin' assassination

[00:01:25] Guantanamo Bay federal incarceration

[00:01:29] How could this be the land of the free home of the brave

[00:01:32] Indigenous holocaust and the home of the slaves

[00:01:35] Corporate America dancin' offbeat to the rhythm

[00:01:38] You really think this country never sponsored terrorism

[00:01:41] Human rights violations we continue the saga

[00:01:44] El Savador and the contras in Nicaragua

[00:01:47] And on top of that you still wanna take me to prison

[00:01:51] Just cause I won't trade humanity for patriotism

[00:01:54] It's like MK-ULTRA controlling your brain

[00:01:57] Suggestive thinking causing your perspective to change

[00:02:00] They wanna rearrange the whole point of view of the ghetto

[00:02:03] The fourth branch of the government want us to settle

[00:02:06] A bandana full of glittering generality

[00:02:09] Fighting for freedom and fighting terror but what's reality

[00:02:13] Read about the history of the place that we live in

[00:02:16] And stop letting corporate news tell lies to your children

[00:02:19] Flow like the blood of Abraham through the Jews and the Arabs

[00:02:22] Broken apart like a woman's heart abused in a marriage

[00:02:26] The brink of holy war bottled up like a miscarriage

[00:02:29] Embedded correspondents don't tell the source of the tension

[00:02:32] And they refuse to even mention European intervention

[00:02:35] Or the massacres in Jenin the innocent screams

[00:02:38] U S manufactured missles and M-16's

[00:02:42] Weapon contracts and corrupted American dreams

[00:02:45] Media censorship blocking out the video screens

[00:02:48] A continent of oil kingdoms bought for a bargain

[00:02:51] Democracy is just a word when the people are starvin'

[00:02:54] The average citizen made to be blind to the reason

[00:02:57] A desert full of genocide where the bodies are freezin'

[00:03:01] And the world doesn't believe that you fightin' for freedom

[00:03:04] Cause you f**ked the Middle East and gave birth to a demon

[00:03:07] It's open season with the CIA bugging my crib

[00:03:10] Trapped in a ghetto region like a Palestinian kid

[00:03:13] Where nobody gives a f**k whether you die or you live

[00:03:16] I'm tryin' to give the truth and I know the price is my life

[00:03:19] But when I'm gone they'll sing a song about Immortal Technique

[00:03:23] Who beheaded the President and the princes and sheiks

[00:03:26] You don't give a f**k about us I can see through your facade

[00:03:29] Like a fallen angel standing in the presence of God

[00:03:32] B**ch niggaz scared of the truth when it looks at you hard

[00:03:35] It's like MK-ULTRA controlling your brain

[00:03:39] Suggestive thinking causing your perspective to change

[00:03:42] They wanna rearrange the whole point of view in the ghetto

[00:03:45] The fourth branch of the government want us to settle

[00:03:48] A bandana full of glittering generality

[00:03:51] Fighting for freedom and fighting terror but what's reality

[00:03:54] Martial law is coming soon to the hood to kill you

[00:03:58] While you hanging your flag out your project window

[00:04:02] Yeah

[00:04:04] The fourth branch of the government AKA the media

[00:04:07] Seems to now have a retirement plan for ex-military officials

[00:04:12] As if their opinion was at all unbiased

[00:04:15] A machine shouldn't speak for men

[00:04:18] So shut the f**k up you mindless drone

[00:04:21] And you know it's serious

[00:04:22] When these same media outfits are spending millions of dollars on a PR campaign

[00:04:28] To try to convince you they're fair and balanced

[00:04:31] When they're some of the most ignorant and racist people

[00:04:35] Giving that type of mentality a safe haven

[00:04:38] We act like we share in the spoils of war that they do

[00:04:42] We die in wars we don't get the contracts to make money off 'em afterwards

[00:04:47] We don't get weapons contracts ni**a

[00:04:49] We don't get cheap labor for our companies ni**a

[00:04:52] We are cheap labor ni**a

[00:04:55] Turn off the news and read ni**a

[00:04:58] Read read read
