GOOD MEN STAND TOGETHER
[Vocal Sample Intro]
[Verse One]
Take a look in ya thesaurus
Words like rebel and anarchist next to the word non conformists
Put our name on that list it’ll grow enormous
Always rank and file following performers
Paparazzi and reporters
All ensuring the growth of supporters
As long as they think for themselves
To many followers are thoughtless
All the same as before, same as those before us
All think you’re original, all think you’re flawless
These carbon copies congregate like tourists
A sordid assortment of boring proportions
Non responsive might as well be corpses
I’m appalled by the product and all its sources
[Chorus 2X]
Dedicated followers of fashions, fads and fazes
lost lads and lass’s doing fat cats favours
Dedicated followers of fashions, fads and fazes lost lads and lass’s doing fat cats favours
[Verse 2]
Devoid of a choice just answer when their called up
Peer pressures a bitch here take just a small puff
Teenagers follow suit think the rule books torn up
Parents play your roll scorn your sons and daughters
Religious factions fight over who’s the purest
All primitive beliefs might as well praise horus
Theres holes in your story might as well be porous
You all follow suits and those with more stuff
Meanwhile we torment the weakest and the poorest
All work hard just to earn a small crust
We take what we’re given coz that’s our portion
We give all we have ya still demanding more trust
Had enough of this double bluff yo
Now we’re feeling extorted
[Chorus 2X]
Dedicated followers of fashions, fads and fazes
lost lads and lass’s doing fat cats favours
Dedicated followers of fashions, fads and fazes
all these lost lads and lass’s doing fat cats favours
[Build Up 2X]
It’s all spit and sawdust now fall into line
all sing the chorus and all walk in time
It’s all spit and sawdust now fall into line lets all sing the chorus and all walk in time
Walk in time!
Walk in time!
Walk in time!
It’s all spit and sawdust now fall into line now all sing the chorus and walk in time
[Verse One]
Yo I got dreams yo but mostly I got fears
A real and vivid feeling that our children won’t see clear
The mass media’s message all that they hear
Yo it’s all that they hear
And they’ll be proud and they’ll feel clever
Though the truth remains more elusive than ever
Educated in obedience and brought up in terror
Quoting the newest testament right to the letter
The lesser of two evils isn’t always better
No it isn’t always better
The lesser of two evils isn’t always better
[Vocal Sample]
[Verse Two]
Just do what the song says
I’m living in the west there’s constant bomb threats
Yo we’re taking the wrong steps
See where I walk the bombs haven’t gone off yet
Like fat lab rats we’re just part of the projects
Ready to be fed to the fat cats it’s logic
The way of the world, the worlds non responsive
Feel the weight of these words heard in stereophonic
Open up ya mind like that high grade chronic
This was once the job of universities or college
Expansion of consciousness, ignorance abolished
Scepticism only of facts that’s historic
Critical thought not taught yo we got it
Not taught yo we got it
Critical thought not taught yo we got it
[Vocal Sample]
[Chorus]
But why are they scaring us
Coz they’re preparing us
For the Age of Aquarius
Yo the Age of Aquarius
Yo why are they scaring us
Coz they’re preparing us
For the Age of Aquarius
Yeah the Age of Aquarius
[Verse Three]
Yo I’ve got dreams but mostly I got fears
A real and vivid feeling that our children won’t see clear
The mass media’s message all that they hear
Yeah it’s is all that they hear
And they’ll be proud and they’ll feel clever
Though the truth remains more elusive than ever
Educated in obedience and brought up on terror
Quoting the newest testament right to the letter
Though the lesser of two evils isn’t always better
No it isn’t always better
The lesser of two evils isn’t always better
Just do what the song says
I’m living in the west there’s constant bomb threats
Yo we’re taking the wrong steps
See where I walk the bombs haven’t gone off yet
Like fat lab rats we’re just part of the projects
Ready to be fed to the fat cats it’s logic
The weight of the world, the worlds non responsive
Feel the weight of these words heard in stereophonic
Open up ya mind like that high grade chronic
This was once the job of universities or college
Expansion of consciousness, ignorance abolished
Scepticism only of facts that’s historic
Critical thought not taught yo we got it

Critical thought not taught yo we got it
[Vocal Sample]
[Chorus]
But why are they scaring us

Coz they’re preparing us
For the Age of Aquarius

Yo I got dreams but mostly I got fears
A real and vivid feeling that our children won’t see clear
The mass media’s message all that they hear

And they’ll be proud and they’ll feel clever

Educated in obedience and brought up on terror
Quoting the newest testament right to the letter

No it isn’t always better
The lesser of two evils isn’t always better

[Vocal Sample]
[Vocal Sample]
[Verse One]
We insist that you listen to this wisdom in rhythm
Envision a system from anarchy have risen
A few wise men, new age politicians
With promises and policies, a a clear vision
A shared and common goal, a fair decision
To cast off such differences as race and religion
No more opting to be pigeon holed
An option to resist the cold
[Chorus]
You should try to open up your mind, no we insist
We all try but we’re sickened by the lies, yo we insist
It’s high time to live not just survive, yeah we insist
Just know that this life is a ride, then we insist
[Verse Two]
An option to resist the cold
The cold hand of the elite that constantly lead us
Time to bite the hand that barely feeds us
They wrote the book and that’s how they read us
They cut us deep and they slowly bleed us
They pounce when you’re down like all good bottom feeders
As we leave the age of Pisces say goodbye to Jesus
See we need religions less than religions need us
[Chorus]
You should try to open up your mind, no we insist
We all try but we’re sickened by your lies, yo we insist
It’s high time to live not just survive, yeah we insist
Just know that this life is a ride, yeah we insist
[Vocal Sample]
[Verse Three]
Time to take back the means of production
Do as instructed it’s your function
The very reason you were first inducted
Into the fold hold up this is touching
Much of us trust too much and it’s our failing
Stuck in this harsh storm there’s no plain sailing
We get smashed on the rocks till there’s none remaining
We pay the price for the lives their claiming
[Chorus]
You should try to open up your mind, no we insist
We all try but we’re sickened by the lies, yeah we insist
It’s high time to live not just survive, yeah we insist
Just know that this life is a ride, so we insist
[Verse One]
A yo listen up
Yeah listen up
Yo people listen up
Yo yo yo no need for criticism
This lyricism’s limitless
Visions of cataclysm
Isn’t the thing that’s driven us
This is us Jugga-brothers listen up
Stand up and be counted if you’ve taken all this shit enough
Yo this kids with us, come join the ranks
Metal attitude with a B-boy stance
No need to thank us we’re taking the chance
Yo time to make a stand against the man
The J-Note army prepped to advance
Ready for revolution
Initiate plans
Yo we’re prepped to advance
Initiate plans, initiate plans
[Chorus X2]
Freaks come out at night to answer the call
Trampling the rubble from every brick in the wall
The quicker they come the quicker they fall
[Verse Two]
Yo give it up
Yeah yo give it up
Yo come on people give it up
Blue light lights the night up
Like a stadium of fans stands and raise their lighters
This land raises us as fighters
Some poets some born to be writers
Some combine the three as one and these are the righteous
People who get psyched up always in spite of
The challenges inspire us
Yo the human condition instinctively violent
Forgotten knowledge gives the wisdom to combat the virus
Yo now we’re prepped to advance
So initiate plans!
[Chorus X2]
Freaks come out at night to answer the call
Trampling the rubble from every brick in the wall
The quicker they come the quicker they fall
[Build Up]
Now we’re prepped to advance
Yeah we’re prepped to advance
Yeah we’re prepped to advance
Ha!
Yeah!
Ha!
What!
The quicker they come the quicker they fall
The quicker they come the quicker they fall
The quicker they come the quicker they fall
The quicker they come the quicker they fall
[Chorus X2]
Freaks come out at night to answer the call
Trampling the rubble from every brick in the wall
The quicker they come the quicker they fall
[Vocal Sample]
[Verse One]
Rowdy and reckless
Ruckus inducing
Endowed to be restless
And stuck with these mood swings
Rolling rocks don’t gather moss
As long as they’re moving
A fatherless nation
Not from our choosing
Chose to be a bastard
Feel I’ve earned the label
Couldn’t kill any of my siblings
As long as I’m able
Open handed I’m branded
My cards are on the table
Wandering ancient bards
Openly sharing fables
[Chorus]
Obey the doctrine
Obey the doctrine
Learn ya lesson
Numbed up non responsive
Keep you guessing
Obey the doctrine
Learn ya lessons
Numbed up non responsive
Keep you guessing
[Vocal Sample}
[Verse Two]
I got time on my hands
And my fists are clenched
Blood spilled on this land
Now I’m feeling vexed
Stressed by the prospect
Of death without reason
Dealing retribution
While I’m still breathing
Leaving no man standing
Less he be righteous
A band of men granted
Already psyched up
Rising like titans
Slaying the fat cats
Howling like Lycans
Lacing these fat tracks
[Chorus]
Obey the doctrine
Obey the doctrine
Learn ya lesson
Numbed up non responsive
Keep you guessing
Obey the doctrine
Learn ya lessons
Numbed up non responsive
Keep you guessing
[Vocal Sample]
[Verse Three]
Rowdy and reckless
Ruckus inducing
Endowed to be restless
And stuck with these mood swings
A rolling rock don’t gather moss
As long as it’s moving
A fatherless nation
Not from our choosing
Chose to be a bastard
Feel I’ve earned the label
Couldn’t kill any of my siblings
As long as I’m able
Open handed I’m branded
My cards are on the table
Wandering ancient bards
Openly sharing fables
[Chorus]
Obey the doctrine
Obey the doctrine
Learn ya lesson
Numbed up non responsive
Keep you guessing
Obey the doctrine
Learn ya lessons
Numbed up non responsive
Keep you guessing
[Verse One]
They passed us a snapped baton
What did they expect to happen
Without reform we repeat the same pattern
We the weak born
Raised cheap an left on this see saw
To once again repeat like before
They stood for nothing decent so they all got seat sores
A seed spawned from TV and conceived by freakish street whores
There’s still recourse
That’s why we report
This form of control it should really be fought
I’m not talking all out war
That’s the last resort
But while there’s breath in these lungs I’ll let out this call
It’s what we spit for
Wait there’s still more
All those who know be prepared for the shit storm
[Chorus X2]
One man speaks and you follow
Doesn’t that make you feel hollow?
[Verse Two]
Those who seek to miss inform
Mr and Mrs Ignorance it’s bliss for them
Let’s knock them from their precipice in this forum
Show their ignorance for what it is
Self sacrifice of human rights is killing our kids
It’s not so easy to see not so easy to live
We need to place blame why should we forgive
Yeah why should we forgive
Can’t really breathe though I know I need to
When you speak yo I know I hear you
Wish you could see through
My harsh lines extreme views
Sort out this lower class of riff raff
We need to
Proceed through this barrier the path can lead to
Enlightenment, understanding, comprehension
It’s not all rebellion, revolution and dissention
Revolution and dissention
[Chorus]
One man speaks and you follow
Doesn’t that make you feel hollow?
[Vocal Sample]
[Verse Three]
Here come an army of hash heads with their lungs filled with plastic
That soap bar reefer now you wished you’d passed it
Pass a law to allow the draw no that’s too drastic
I myself have been asked this question now we need to ask
We need the weed freed the laws need relaxing
Politicians don’t mind and find the idea quite fantastic
Because if they legalise the herb the fact is they can tax it
If it was up to me I’d let it grow free and give the government jack shit
That’s just a minor part in my undercover tactics
Now we’ve put them in a tune and put them into practice
It’s like the records stuck and so we start to scratch it
Take your lame insane system and systematically smash it
[Chorus X2]
One man speaks and you follow
Doesn’t that make you feel hollow
[Verse One]
Many men they stand for something
Too many men they stand for nothing
No objections to the wrongs that they witness
While some choose forgiveness others keep a shit list
There are those who count their friends on one hand of fingers
Well myself I’m lucky I got more friends than I can count
Peeps who got my back, support every word from my mouth
No doubts in their allegiance these boys is devout
Cooperate to instigate change it’s what we’re about
I opt to take yo to the stage to put the words out
Its word of mouth no Chinese whispers
No abstract beliefs based on two thousand year old scriptures
I spit fact intact never shit that’s fictitious
An omnipresent being won’t grant all ya wishes
Politicians sugar coat truths to make us less suspicious
Extra honey on ya credit crunch makes it taste delicious
[Verse Two]
Too many men don’t fight when they should
So many men don’t do as much as they could
Often they speak up still little gets done
That’s a weakness it’s real easy to succumb
Those who do make moves are dressed down and shunned
That’s those who avoid getting rubbed out or gunned down
Now somehow we need to unify reach common ground
Those of you who are listening all gather round
We’re supplied bite size lies so their easier to swallow
We don’t pay today so who pays for tomorrow
They invest in debt so we beg steal or borrow
Lost on a paper trail we instinctively follow
Wallow in the loose change that falls from their coffers
Junk mail on sale full of special offers
We put the work in a lot of time we don’t proffer
One day we’ll roll so deep there’ll be no way they can stop us
[Breakdown]
While some choose forgiveness others keep a shit list
Cooperate to instigate change it’s what we’re about
No abstract beliefs based on two thousand year old scriptures
[Verse One]
A world full of coke fiends
The real things the dope schemes
Cola or pepsico the caffeine the cola beans
The soul stealing companies
Dry up water supplies in third world countries
White collar crime the lies and advertisements
No ice in mine go ahead and supersize then
For those who battle obesity two minutes silence
Feed the fat to the tyrants the beef fuels the violence
We reside to liking it, excepting our fate
More than neglecting the state of this place
Now this nations faceless patiently wait
Wasting away quiet basting in hate
All blatant racists blatantly aint
Open to change their hoping for chains
While the rest of the world is hoping for change
We’re hoping for change
Yeah we’re hoping for change
[Verse Two]
I believe in change I believe in change
Freed from these chains yo let out of this cage
Feeding my karma leaving the rage
Bleed as a wise man bleed as a mage
Yo amazing the feeling no need of a wage
Please take heed start seizing the day
Believe in change so we’re leading the way
I know I’m not the only one that’s feeling this way
Admit it yourself you’re feeling the same
Caught up in a drama just a part that you play
A game with no saves we restart every day
We’re made to be silent we need to relay
This is for real no rewind no replay
In social decline we remain enslaved
All shades of grey in major decay
Need to wipe the slate clean all start again
[Verse Three]
A world full of coke fiends
The real things the dope schemes
Cola or pepsico the caffeine the cola beans
The soul stealing companies
Dry up water supplies in third world countries
White collar crime the lies and advertisements
No ice in mine go ahead and supersize then
For those who battle obesity two minutes silence
Feed the fat to the tyrants the beef fuels the violence
We reside to liking it, excepting our fate
More than neglecting the state of this place
Now this nations faceless patiently wait
Wasting away quiet basting in hate
All blatant racists blatantly aint
Open to change thier hoping for chains
While the rest of the world is hoping for change
We’re hoping for change
Yo we’re hoping for change
Yeah we’re hoping for change
Yo need to wipe the slate clean and all start again
Aim to re educate rededicate retrain
Hoping for change
Yeah we’re hoping for change
