Century Of The Self (feat. Catero)

by Dilated Peoples

Lyrics
Come back to children
To the evil of the world
To the evil of the world
Let's go

Evil people of the future
Seem to see the evil known
Secret systems, regulations
Worldwide pandemonium

Now I don't bother with if Jay's Illuminati or not but
I know TSA got me throwing the Roc up
Hollywood rules, the illusion is cruel

Bank awards planned and confusion's a tool, in fact
Vampire swarms attacked us, grappled with corporate Draculas
Tried to consume our worlds, battle Unicron, Galactus
They point their weapons at us and they back aristocrats up
I say it's big business when they bring the secret frats up
Big Pharma, check the rate of disease
Big Agri, GMOs and the fate of the bees
Big Oil, seven sisters still drill as four horsemen
Blocking natural power, they're raping nature for fortune

It's unfortunate, century of the self
Creditors loan shark and jealous parents empty the shelf
Universal babysits, Jimmy Iovine raise their kids
And they wonder how and why we're caught up in this craziness

Evil people of the future
Seem to see the evil known
Secret systems, regulations
Worldwide pandemonium

It's a complete disaster, a glass ceiling and a greasy ladder
Hit the leader, strike the shepherd and the sheep will scatter

Demons playing God, born again or born in sin
More in danger when they see the clouds with halved storms begin
Some say it's fiction, some say Egyptian

Others pray with strangers and they somehow
Traded land and culture for religion
Slavery ain't a color, bodies for these private prisons
Military business booming, private armies piling missions

FISA courts unchecked, watching Prism watchers
NDAA interpretations, now the system got ya
The net has been bugged, call for the exterminators
Micro drones have been home, DARPA's building terminators
Watch out for the shills, traitors cut a deal
And agents planted, manipulating games from the field
Republicans want the old days, Democrats new slaves
Bigger business wants it all and they don't care who pays

Evil people of the future
Seem to see the evil known
Secret systems, regulations
Worldwide pandemonium
