歌词
You walk into this room at your own risk
Because it leads to the future
Not a future that will be but one that might be
This is not a new world
It is simply an extension of what began in the old one
Conversing with a ghost conversing with a ghost
He just leaving and he screamin' Jesus
He had the highest hopes he had the highest hopes
People yelling screamin' at polices
Riots tonight riots tonight
Burnin' lootin' shootin' takin' thievin'
Fire and light fire and light
Fill the air and most don't know the reason
Never knew his name never knew his name
But they know his problems and feel his pain
****'s still the same ****'s still the same
We just prey off in they deadly game
It'll never change it'll never change
Too much profit in it and it stay the same
The facts still remain the facts still remain
You can burn the system and start again
Spoke with a ghost
Late night same night
God let me sleep please I'm begging you
Said don't be afraid
Daylight might never break right again once they get at you
Said you'll never be alone again
This house is haunted by pain transposed into revenue
The murdered all stay
That thing when your mind says run but your heart isn't letting you
Said we got an army now
You strike 'em down still they live inside hearts hearts carry them
The weapon is our memory
Some get to count sheep some gotta count kids that they burying
I don't wanna scare nobody
Fears been law for so long that rage feels like therapy
But I'm gonna make 'em remember me
Nobody gets no more sleep till we teach them remembering
Thieves
Thieves
Coming live at five we got new news breaking
You heard here first if you don't die waiting
Hard to review the scene I just seen
I'ma try to convey but it defies explaining
Started with folks just crying
Nothing but broken heart sobs and the shriek of the sirens
Right at the spot where the blood's still drying
Then my god I saw it the dead began rising
I don't know much about science
But I seen an army of armed men stop and get quiet
Mist hung low like a prayer from a tyrant
Sky became black like the stars aren't aligning
So many years of this violence
Now we're surrounded by the souls of the dead and defiant
Saying look what you've done you designed it
When the bough breaks hear the wraith scream riot
No more moms and dads crying
No more arms in the air
We put firearms in the air
Molotov cocktails thrown in the air
Can got dummy don on the air
Talking 'bout he smell that ganja in the air
Dummy don't know and dummy don't care
Get that punk ************ outta here
Aye ghosts are walking
Ghosts are talking
Everything gon' be different mane
Shh karma's coming
Ain't no runnin'
Death gon' deal with the guilty mane
The universe curses the killers mane
Can't keep killin' god's children mane
A pound of flesh is what you owe
Your debt is due give up your ghost
Thieves
Thieves
Thieves
What have you done
What have you done
What have you done
What are you making us do
Thieves
It's on you
It's on you
Thieves
It's on you
It's on you
It's on you
Thieves
I think America must see
That riots do not develop out of thin air
Certain conditions continue to exist in our society
Which must be condemned as vigorously
As we condemn riots but in the final analysis
A riot is the language of the unheard
Thieves
