A hand reaches out asking for a bite to eat, you ever been feeling the pain while you're trying to sleep, the land is trying to grow but there's something wrong, man is harvesting more but enough has gone to waste, fraud, and abuse, the truth of the IMF, you get a little bit of money just for trying death, petro, agro, capitalistic, that seed will only grow if you got money to spritz it with round-up ready, or ain't no seed sowing, years later now we wonder where the bees going, G-M-O, we got a mono crop food system, man we dying just to get some nutrition, look, corporations aim to make us think we need a store, when mama nature gives us all we'd ever what and more, a billion people tonight who should be eating more, dog they just trying to feed the war not the poor
(Chorus)
We gotta plant some justice, grow some seeds, dig in the earth for our groceries, we gotta promote the culture for those in need, cause the world's got folks to feed (x2)
Walking through the hood seeing all the vacant lots, up in my head thinking we should scheme to make a plot, grow a crop for the block, we'll be full soon, now the little kiddies doing good in the school room, a hand reaches out asking you to show him how he can touch the earth so that he can feed his people now, take his hands out the cuffs, put'em in the ground, steal him back from the Man, get him back to his land, man we fighting it just for the space, right!? to plan a seed so tat we can get a safe bite, food organically grown so it tastes right, now food deserts growing faster than a race stripe, the lake levels getting lower than my waist hieght, world hunger's growing higher than a space flight, a revolution now, growing in their face might be the thing to set the place right for the light
(Chorus)
We gotta plant some justice, grow some seeds, dig in the earth for our groceries, we gotta promote the culture for those in need, cause the world's got folks to feed
We gotta plant some justice, grow some seeds, legalize hemp, decriminalize weed, we gotta promote the culture for those in need, cause the world's got folks to feed

I had a dream that I ran out of money
in a land where it's illegal to be without money
the Chinese mafia wanted so badly to kill me
and the American Police didn't care to help
i know it's hard to believe i'd need a knife up my sleeve
even though we believe that I'm only sleeping
yet i'm terribly sure i won't wake evermore
if someone doesn't transcend the top floor of this troublesome nightmare
While the devils on each level raise their voices from rolls royces chanting choices
of mandates, tax breaks and topical temptations
Namely shapely lady wants a baby ain't she crazy give her gravy on and on
in the churches and the circus where the workers purchase worthless
paperwork to justify the property they purchased
I stood up at the pulpit like a shirtless mermaid versus
Listen up lovely little ones we're taking over this service
i didn't care about government schemes until i got evil spirit dreams
dub c society trying to find me and this is the help police provided me:
down on your knees, give us id, your job is bleed and plead mercy
with cattle prods it's easy to see who is the man and who is the beast
we are all animals/ people are animals
children it has always been this /way
we are all animals / let's act like animals
when the people come / to take our homes / away
You only are what you eat if you don’t have a superego
lots of people eat like sea gulls but only heathens eat other people
in the bible they eat sheep though even though it’s really illegal
speak no evil, hear no evil go once a week to a steeple
heretic, heretic, he is a heretic, we can't be heretics we are just farmers
we want a government who won't disarm us, jesus is lord stop with your dharmas
but only one seed will grow where your barn is
Jesus believes he told Charles Darwin
monkeys can't write in cuneiform, money can't make the monkeys perform
for money to monkeys is magic to mormons and money is putting a hex on your corn
so if you grow corn or if you eat corn or if you were born this market is cornered
you better wake up and conform every morning
or they'll put you in cages until you act normal
we are all animals/ people are animals
children it has always been this /way
we are all animals / let's act like animals
when the people come / to take our homes / away
one third of myself is 100 percent
of the part of myself I should spend on the rent
and I told you I dreamed that my money was spent
at first I was scared and acted all hesitant
then something deep in my being took precedence
answered the threats of every dead president
neighbors are blaming the presence of immigrants
everyone's immigrants, who isn't an immigrant
Oh good it's him again, die for my sins again
i'll be huck finn again you can be Jim again
curse about Mexicans praise Jackie Robinson
free him he's innocent, make him a citizen!
End all this venom the ending is imminent
isn't it officer I'm a civilian how many guillotines
will we be building for capitol hillbillies
murdering child - er - en?
You took my love and made a commodity
Everyone's holy my holy commodity
Don’t it feel odd to be sold as an oddity
Do i feel holy? oh lordy I go to be
ashes and ashes and dust to dust
you better just kill us forget about cuffs
Salvation's not something that animals trust
we'll drink your blood and that is enough!
we are all animals/ people are animals
children it has always been this /way
we are all animals / let's act like animals
when the people come / to take our homes / away
