Shizit - Dear Government lyrics

April 2nd, 2001
Dear Government,
I thought it would interest you to know that I have 
completely lost faith in your
ability to represent my interests. It is apparent to me 
that the only interests you
represent are those of large corporations and that you 
have totally alienated yourself
from the majority of the populace.
Now, I realize that you have heard this sort of 
criticism before, so I'll spare you the
dissident rhetoric and direct your attention to a more 
pressing point: my former faith
in your abilities to get your act together were the 
only things that were keeping you
safe. You see, all your various attempts to sedate my 
frustration and misdirect my
attention have failed. The only thing that was keeping 
me in line was the hope that one
day you would have a paradigmatic shift in your 
attitudes towards the people who look to
you for representation and actually start doing your 
half of the social compact this
country was founded on. My hope for and faith in the 
system was, if you will, a kind of
political "Soma", keeping me forever dreaming of a 
savior, a great man who would fight
for the people. Now I've woken up and I see around me a 
sleeping giant lying restlessly
under the skin of the nation.
So when it comes down to you staring into the barrel of 
whatever assault rifle I get my
grubby little proletariat hands on and you find 
yourself asking "What are you? A
communist insurgent? A Muslim terrorist?" you will be 
faced with a most chilling answer:
"No sir, I am the fruit of your labors." I guess hope 
is a hard habit to break, because
I'm finding myself hoping that this letter will be a 
wake up call for you. But I also
know oppression, imperialism and plutocracy are hard 
habits to break too, so I'm not
getting my hopes up too high. See ya 'round.
Sincerely,
A revolution waiting to happen
P.S.
I am the fruit of your labors
Let's bring the plutocracy down!
Let's bring it down!
I don't care any more, I want fuckin' war
Taste of blood in mouth and I'm left wanting more
I'm tired of being the political prophylactic king
It's time for some real fucking
Revolution, fuck the sight seeing
It's time to stop wanting and time to start being
Strong
How long, not long
I say fuck the right, it's time to be wrong
THIS COUNTRY'S HIT BOTTOM!!!
