The Robbery - Back To Basics Lyrics

Look out and see the broken USA
Toy soldiers and the games they play
I don't wanna go to war with my neighbors
But they buy guns when they read newspapers

Let's get back to basics

Wondering
What went wrong
Against the bad backdrop of bad pop songs
People suffer in their private hells and the wise men build new things to sell them

Let's get back to basics
Now
On the streets where we live
It's true that something's got to give
It's the golden rule my friend

Lightning
Strikes
Again

Everywhere I look I see a thousand flags
A thousand variations of hate-speech rags
People don't think but they speak their minds
Little clowns with flags on their big trucks crying

Let's get back to basics

Now
They want us divided
Angry people deciding your side
The language that they're using is not mine
It's too confusing

Let's get back to basics
Now

Before they crush us all
They tell us that they're big they wanna make us small
Listen close to your heart
And to your mind

Lightning
Strikes
Inside

Ignorance and hatred spread like cancer and none of this screaming will get your answers
But

Big Money wins when the workers are fighting
It's just the end of their cigar we're lighting

Let's get back to basics
Now!
