Original Lyrics :

Verse 1

I grew up in a third world war
with tanks out on the street
6 degrees above the equator
but not above the police heat
all around the world this shit is out of hand
making america look like la la land


Verse 2

school was interrupted when the bomb sirens sound
sometimes we wouldn't go at all
when a curfew shut the country down
the police killing insurrectors
everyone's in fear
but that was an election year
the first they'd had in 11 years
