Chorus
It's the mystery of iniquity...
Said it's the misery of
Inequity...
Said it's the history of
Inequity...
When it all...
All falls down...
Telling you all...
It all falls down
Pre-verse
Children...
Eat your bread
Little children...
Eat your bread
Cause it all...
All falls down...
Telling you all...
It all falls down
Verse
Yo! Y'all can't handle the truth
in a courtroom of lies
Perjures the jurors, witness
despised
Crooked lawyers, false
indictments publicized
It's entertainment, the
arraignments, the subpoenas
High profile gladiators in
bloodthirsty arenas
Enter the Dragon, black-robe
crooked-balance
Souls bought and sold and paroled for thirty talents
Gm (Single strum)
Court reporter catch the circus on the paper
File it in the system not
acknowledged by the Maker
Swearing by the bible blatantly
blasphemous
Publicly perpetrating that "In
God We Trust"
Cross-examined by a master
manipulator
The faster intimidator receiving
the judge's favor
Deceiving sabers doing injury to
their neighbors
For status, gratis, apparatus
and legal waivers
See the bailiff representing security
Holding the word of God soliciting perjury
The prosecution, political
prostitution
The more money you pay, the
further away solution
Legal actors, Babylon's
benefactors
Masquerading as the agency for
the clients
Hypocritical giants, morally
non-compliant
Orally armed to do bodily harm
Polluted, recruited and suited
judicial charm
And the defense isn't making any
sense
Faking the confidence of
escaping the consequence
That a defendant is depending on
the system
Totally void of judgment
purposely made to twist em'
Emotional victim blackmailed by
the henchmen
Framed by intentions
Inventions whereby they lynch
men
Enter the false witness
slandering the accused
Planting the seed openly showing
he's being used
To discredit, edit, headed for the alleged
Smearing the individual fearing
the unsuspected
Expert witness (the paid
authority)
Made a priority to deceive the
majority
Of disinterested peers, dodging duty for years
Hating the process, waiting to
be returning to their careers
Do we expect the system made for
the elect
To possibly judge correct?
Properly serve and protect?
Materially corrupt, spiritually
amuck
Oblivious to the cause,
prosperously bankrupt
Blind leading the blind, guilty
never defined
Filthy as swine, a generation purin it's own mind
Legal extortion, blown out of
proportion
In vein deceit, the truth is
obsolete
Only two positions: victimizer
or victim
Both end up in destruction
trusting this crooked system
Mafia with diplomas keeping us in a coma
Am (strum to the beat)
Trying to own a piece of the "American Corona"
The Revolving Door, insanity every floor
Skyscraping, paper chasing, what
are we working for?
Empty traditions, reaching
social positions
Teaching ambition to support the family superstition?
When the Son of Perdition is
Commander in Chief
The standard is Thief; brethren, can we candidly speak?
Woe to the men, trusted in the
chariots dem'
Leaning on horses, they run
their intellectual sources
Counterfeit wisdom creating the illusion of freedom
Confusion consumes them
Every word they speak it turns
them outwardly white
Internally they absent of light
Trapped in the night and bonded
to the Cain of the night
Under the curse, evil men waxing
more worse
Faxing the first, angelic being
cast to the earth
It's time for rebirth, burnin up
the branch and the root
The empty pursuits of every tree
bearing the wrong fruit
Turn and be healed, let him who
stole, no longer steal
Oh it's real, surrender for
Jehovah is real
How long will you sleep, troubled by the thoughts that YOU keep
The idols YOU heap, causing the
destruction you reap
Judgment has come, find it and return to the One
Abandon the flesh,
self-interest: Broadway to death
Pride and the Greed, hide and
subdividing the seed
The knowledge of Good and Evil
is what caused us to lie
Caused us to die, let your emotions be crucified
Renounce all your thoughts
Repent and let your mind be re-taught
You'll find what you sought
Was based on the deception you
bought
A perception of naught where the
majority remains caught
AM
Loving a lie, not realizing in Adam, all die
Loving a lie, not realizing in
Adam, all die
Loving a lie, not realizing in
Adam, all die
Loving a lie, not realizing in
Adam, all die
Chorus
It's the mystery of iniquity...
Said it's the misery of
Inequity...
Said it's the history of
Inequity...
When it all...
All falls down...
Telling you all...
It all falls down
