It's time for some real world politics, 
Economics, history, math and English. 
There are some of us who have, 
And some that go without.

America and justice 
Are not synonymous
For all the fights, 
For all the songs, 
All we said
All we have is these pictures of us.

And if it doesn't matter now 
Then it never really did,
Without this we might as well be dead
They're all black and white, people
And that doesn't have 
Anything to do with us.

After all these years 
It's still an arms race,
After all these years 
They still don't fucking get it. 

Lives and cultures matter m
More than capitalist interest
It's the CIA 
It's the FBI, the IMF, 
From HMO's to MTV, f*ck you. 

For all the fights, 
For all the songs, 
All we said
All we have is these pictures of us. 

And if it doesn't matter now 
Then it never really did,
Without this we might as well be dead
When you are so hungry that 
You'd believe anything
They're selling you the politics of starving. 
What the f*ck does that mean to us?
