Debt Burden

Staring… dreamy eyed
Dreaming… starry-eyed
Under this mop of tumbled dreadlocks
Life’s a cell block, no roadblocks…
In my empty mind
Gaping with empty eyes
Burning the white line
Threading the thin line
Between the finger
And the trigger!

My thoughts are enslaved
What must I do to be saved?
I’m the black trash, the street trash,
Dangerous, delirious, gun-totting
Gang banging, indo-smoking killer!

You think I’m in a phase
But tell me who’s in a daze
Blasting to outer space
On a billion dollar rocket ship
Or a one dollar Indo trip!

You think I talk bullshit
But the real shit you don’t know
Who knows…? I don’t know!
But White House fact sheets
And fat World Bank cheats
Label me a burden… a debt burden
And I’m burdened by this shit
Cos this whole shit is bullshit!

And cos I keep saying shit
You label me uncivilized
You’ll have me psycho-analyzed
To see if I’m synchronized
Or should be institutionalized
But I tell you no lies
I hope one day you’ll realize
That your mind has been toasted
Treated and over-heated
By this deadening technocracy
And pseudo-scientific lunacy!

So don’t say I talk bullshit
When my rights and my liberty
When my economic prosperity
Rests on the goodwill of Babylon
Those architects of Armageddon!

Yes I’m not full of shit...
And stop telling me to Shh!
See they polarize world economy
Enforcing my gasterectomy
Eroding my independence
Making me dependent
On humanitarian aid
Inhuman politicized aid

You remember nine-eleven?
And how they tried to get even?
Now they talk about world peace
And a new world order
But the war will not cease
In this comic disorder
Babylon will burn
Lebanon will burn
How can they talk peace
Behind the Prince of peace!

So don’t tell me bullshit
Cos I’m worn-out and stressed out
Spaced out and burned out
By their democratic hypocrisy
That hypocritic democracy
That labels me a burden
A debt burden...
A third world burden
And I’m weighed down by this burden
Bent double by this burden
I’m burdened by this shit
Cos this whole shit is bullshit!
