BRAINDEAD LYRICS

"Textbook Revolutions"

We blame the poor for being poor, bare of rationality,
Debarred to cash in on their needs, division's elementary
Kept down, excluded and deprived by artificial scarcity.
The drawback of this grim charade, continuous brutality.

For as long as people hunger
While food is turned to trash
The temples will be plundered
By those who feel the lash.
And as long as we keep up
This structural divide,
We will feel the rebound of
The violence it implies.

The left behind start to awake, but you can't relate.
Think they're criminal or insane, but they're intrinsically political
None of your theories could ever explain their anger or their hate.
You want a textbook revolution, but they are bound to fail.

Will you just stand beside
When the worm finally starts to turn?
Don't you try to understand
Why the streets are left burn?
If we don't interact
And make no attempt to learn,
We'd turn an insurrection
Into an elitist concern.
