Verse 1:
You
Can't fool all the people all of the time
But if you fool the right ones, then the rest will fall
Behind
Tell me who's got control of your mind? your world view?
Is it the news or the movie
You're taking your girl to? (uh)
Know what i'm sayin cause uncle sam got a plan
If you examine
What they tellin us then you will understand
What they plantin in the seeds of the next generation
Feeding
Our children miseducation
No one knows if there's ufo's or any life on mars
Or what they do
When they up in the stars
Because i don't believe a word of what the president said
He filling
Our head with lies got us hypnotised
When he be speaking in cold words about crime and poverty
Drugs,
Welfare, prisons, guns and robbery
It really means us, there's no excuse for the slander
But
What's good for the goose, is still good for the gander
See...

Chorus:
I don't believe
Bob marley died from cancer
31 years ago i woulda been a panther
They killed huey cause they
Knew he had the answer
The views that you see in the news is propaganda

Singing:
Telling
Lies, to our children
Telling lies, to our children
Telling lies, to our babies

Verse 2:
I don't want no computer chip in my arm
I don't wanna die by a nuclear
Bomb
I say we all rush the pentagon, pull out guns
And grab the intercom, my first word's will
Be i believe
Man made god, outta ignorance and fear
If god made man, then why the hell would
He put us here?
I thought he's supposed to be the all loving
The same god who let hitler put
The jews in the oven
We don't fall for the regular shit, they try to feed us
All this half-ass
Leadership, flippin position
They turn politcian and shut the hell up and follow tradition
For
Your tv screen, is telling lies to your vision
Every channel got some brainwashed cop shit
To watch
Running up in niggas cribs claiming that they heard shots
It's a plot, but busta
Can you tell me who's greedier?
Big corporations, the pigs or the media?
Sign of the times,
Terrorism on the rise
Commercial airplanes, falling out the sky like flies
Make me wonder
What secrets went down with bob brown (? )
Who burnt churches to the ground with no evidence
Found?
It's not coincidence, it's been too many studied incidents
It coulda been the klan
Who put that bomb at the olympics
But it probably was the fbi, deep at the call
Cuz if they make
Us all panic then they can start martial law

Chorus:
I don't believe bob marley died from
Cancer
31 years ago i woulda been a panther
They killed huey cause they knew he had the answer
The
Views that you see in the news is propaganda

I don't believe bob marley died from cancer

Years ago i woulda been a panther
They killed huey cause they knew he had the answer
The views
That you see in the news is muthaf**kin propaganda
