Thieves in the Night (inspired by Mos and Kweli’s orginal track)

They say war on terror/

Cause Islamic furor/

But follow the set up/

Won’t look in the mirror/

America, comfy in their slouch/

Watching Buffy on the couch/

While the kids is foaming at the mouth/

Question: who watches the watchmen?/

When government is evil like Dr. Robotnik/

Making man to machine/

Heartless, putting bullets into kids/

Military service is a bid/

Follow the scheme/

Wonder if they hear kids cry in their dreams/

Cabal of chicanery calumny/

Bilking the public/

Long as we milking we love it/

So what is a brother to do?/

When real Hip-Hop is a troubling brew/

Now that is a troubling view/

When you can’t speak to what’s troubling you/

War on terror killed the brother in you/

And Katrina killed a mother or 2/

Society is losing a screw/

But it’s all good as long as it’s on YouTube

And amusing to view/
