Here's some lyrics from Blackalicious, though the beats and hooks are well worth a listen.

Chorus:

Tryin' man I'm tryin' lies and lies ain't buyin' (?)
where to I go, where do I go?

tryin' yes I'm strivin' lies and lies ain't buyin'
how does it go?

[blackalicious]
Walk, to a time when minds was one
Came into creation as itself, mankind was born
Step into the eye of the storm, survive as pawn
Casualties of evil men, slidin' the blinders on
Lies will spawn, hey are you concious was side you're on?
Is the total story told or is it they hide you from?
Why are we on the brink of murderin' more innocent
Now we slide (?), we're patriotic and so militant
Get ya ride on, rise on, take a look
They done even takin' righteous laws, rewrote the books
To benefit the prize they got they eyes on
Minds run rampant, to be revealed when the proper time comes
Brainwashers

[chorus]

Brainwashers
It's when you think how they wanna think
Speak how they wanna speak, Livin' in defeat
When you don't wanna question what they

teach, as the truth
With no proof, with the fear of burnin' in eternal heat
When your programmed not to be your own man, but a sheep
Bein' heared as they word it, so you think it ain't free
When you sleep in a deep sleep standin' on your feet
When your beat makin' ends meat, raw, thin and they see (?)
Now your labeled obsolete, workin' for relief (?)
In the heat on bare feet, smile showin' off your teeth
Good grief, it's a ____(?) how they work it
And they jerk it, while they surf,
Plus the surf keeps the _____ (?) underneath the brainwashers

[chorus] (several times)

[studio guy]
You just keep playing. Can you bring that
level up in my earphones? And you bring
their level up in my chairs, cause I'm
playing with sticks, and I'm drowning
'em out, so if you can give them more of
this. Yeah, you can bring that in even
more. Bring up. Yeah. You guys play. Yeah,
that's perfect.

[other voice]
Sounds of science.

Barack Obama's Inaugural Adress

Well, there's the bald-faced truth that I just didn't want to admit, didn't even want to tell my wife: when I listened to Barack Obama become president and give his speech, I was moved to tears. But, most of it, honestly, was grieving for the inherent complicity of someone who supports the troops and puts his hand on his heart at basketball game national anthems, and yet has been blocked and tackled into living through eight years with a nightmare goon squad at the helm of my flag's wheel.
I was pissed and angry, then I listened to a new President speak from his mind and his heart, with clear reference to the better chunks of history, and even give a wag of his finger to the old ways even as he tipped his hat to the hope he humbly agreed to represent. That helped me let go of whatever cloud was in my morning that morning which apparently was associated with hating to be a detractor of my flag's policies for this last previous era.

Perspective is good too. Who was it, that said something like 'we've successfully transferred Executive Authority in the country for the 44th time.' That's something to remember. We didn't elect a snarky bastard - that's really positive. Further perspective is listening to the speech again and hearing the strength and following the meaning of the passages.

I get it though. Not much boom in 'Great Alliances' and 'Hard Choices'. Not much hot in History or the idea of stewardship and responsibility. And guaranteed there will be lots of boo's from the crowd when air quality standards in some States prevent Ford F450's from getting away with dinosaur murder, gobbling hydrocarbon's like hordes of Pacman's evil twins.

Listen you progress fightin' greedy prideful sticks in the mud who are gonna invariably complain to see change, ya' ain't gonna use your M-80's till kill a garden snake, so why haul yer groceries in a five ton Sherman? Whassa' matter...? You too sissy to mount up that shiny electric scooter? Awwwww.
Welcome to Change-ville, you cheese-burger eatin', bright-ass headlight shinin', private liberal party poopin', Women's rights body snatchin', beef and smog industrial waste producin', tax and draft evading,... fellow citizen of mine. Go suck on a naturally nested egg. If they're vegetarian fed, then they're Cholesterol free, just like Organic produce just tastes better.

Believe in your President. Believe in yourself. Believe in our country. Believe in our health.
