"American History X" lyrics
I eat politicians for breakfast, 'Til Infinity, it's endless
Bill and Hillary, George Bush, everybody's getting it
Presidents, Supreme Court Justices, and Senators
Run up in the White House, erase people, edit them
Press Delete, hit 'em in the chest with heat
Hail to the Chief, bullets everywhere, it's beef
Violence is more American than apple pie and Soul Train
Baseball, nickel-plated nines and cocaine
It's ILL Bill, Non Phixion
If I offended you with my words, I meant it
Protected by the First Amendment
If this was Iraq, I'd a been beheaded
Instead of sparking a dialogue, I'd be hanging in Baghdad shredded
Yeah I'm recognized
But if I ever disappear under mysterious pretenses, you guess why
I guess the CIA's trying to die
They wanna terrorize the kid and fry him alive
Skinheads and Black Hebrews, punk rockers and hip-hoppers
Street pharmacists, drug dealers, witch doctors
Rappers wearing hundred thousand dollar wrist watches
Little kid's starving, the police killed his father
Rich man, Poor Man, civilized man
Tarzan, who's right, fighting over God's land
American History X
Represent the future or know what's next
I leave an ATF truck burning with the passengers in it
Hit it with anti-aircraft missiles when Bill spit it
No apologies, asking what's wrong with truth
Tell me what's wrong with the world, I'll tell you what's wrong with you
What's wrong with the youth, brain-eating corpses and coups
Sorcerers and spooks, illuminating torturous kooks
Murdering devils that wear police officer suits
Revolutionaries standing on street corners and stoops
I'm the reason the FBI killed JFK
The reason they have metal detectors at JFK
The reason that the Constitution no longer protects us
They don't even need a reason anymore to arrest us
Living in a state of Martial Law, learn the arts of war
Arm yourself, marching forth into the monster's jaws
America eats its young, swallowed raw
Falling through the doorway of death, never know what we dying for
Skinheads and Black Hebrews, punk rockers and hip-hoppers
Street pharmacists, drug dealers, witch doctors
Rappers wearing hundred thousand dollar wrist watches
Little kid's starving, the police killed his father
Rich man, Poor Man, civilized man
Tarzan, who's right, fighting over God's land
American History X
Represent the future or know what's next
I seen spoiled kids murder their parents with shotguns
And the poor kids from the hood selling they mom's drugs
A lost generation of fools without a clear destination
No guidance, no rules, no education
And the older generation's no better
Matter of fact, they worse, they oughta know better
These greedy motherfuckers trade blood for oil
An American graveyard on another man's soil
Makes no sense, the Roman Empire in the present tense
Murder for corporations that they represent
Whether Democrat or Republican, the same scumbag government
With scumbag ways of running shit
Skinheads and Black Hebrews, punk rockers and hip-hoppers
Street pharmacists, drug dealers, witch doctors
Rappers wearing hundred thousand dollar wrist watches
Little kid's starving, the police killed his father
Rich man, Poor Man, civilized man
Tarzan, who's right, fighting over God's land
American History X
Represent the future or know what's next
Bill and Hillary, George Bush, everybody's getting it
Presidents, Supreme Court Justices, and Senators
Run up in the White House, erase people, edit them
Press Delete, hit 'em in the chest with heat
Hail to the Chief, bullets everywhere, it's beef
Violence is more American than apple pie and Soul Train
Baseball, nickel-plated nines and cocaine
It's ILL Bill, Non Phixion
If I offended you with my words, I meant it
