Suburban Blues

Well, get up on time, See your days pass by. Don’t ask questions, To leaders of suppression. Cause court is in session. Obey this do that, When you go out, Don't wear hood or hat. Ah, eat more Tyson food City gave us a candle, Ask for a meal, they might be in a good mood. Lights, camera, action, Fake your true reaction. College teaching us Basic subtraction, Wondering if it’s all distraction To what we love to do Ah, sulfates in shampoo Don’t complain about Government voodoo Whatever you do Whatever you see Don’t take it too personally. Cause you might change the world May do what they don't want you to. Might abolish greed, And you might uproot their evil seed. Ads littered on t.v. It’s bait for the hook Crooks stalking my Facebook Someone’s in a fight, But people enjoy and look look look. Well, Billy threw up That corn syrup. Read your schoolbooks and shut-up. Rise for the anthem, Rise for the pastor, Labeled dumb for not Thinking faster. Sally resisted two faced authorities. Cells are filled with innocent minorities. Ah, preach it on hills Lights flashing in Area 51, They shut down my windmill I’m faced with a giant and my ammo equals none. How is my grandson gonna live? If all he does is forgive Those who take and do not give? I’m staying home today, To relax and pray. Ah but GMO is in my fruit. Saw a man trade his soul for a nice suit. Hypocrites smile with snakes in their boots. Ben came home with black eye Then left his mama without a goodbye. Mamas sittin on the porch only to cry For her son who is now getting high. Last week he was a victim in a driveby. Read all about it in the news. Single mother of none in suburban town of blues. Little girl taken in an alleyway, Policemen said they'll find her another day Unless the parents have money to pay, You won't be seein her face, hey! Little girl grew up hangin by street corners, Asking for one night for only four quarters. Meanwhile in Flint Michigan The water is polluted brown but they ain't listenin, So the citizens are thirstin’ For some hydration. Metals in their water While the mayor counts his dollars The governors apologize But it's just more lies. Read all about it in the news, Truth is kept hidden in suburban town of blues.
