Andy What - Signs of the Times [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

"You think George Washington made the history book because he was a good preacher and he learned how to sing we shall overcome and he went around preaching non-violence? He made your history book because he kicked the hell out the British." - Dick Gregory --
"We went off the track. The American people have been completely silenced and bought off by gizmos and toys." - George Carlin
"Now the favor I want you to do me; I want you to go up and turn the sound off the television. I want you to read your Declaration of Independence as loud as you can read it and maybe for the first time, them fools will understand what they looking at" - Dick Gregory

HOOK

Give me liberty or give me death/ Take me out like the trash and dispose of my flesh/
Give me liberty or give me death/ Free souls from the illusion of scarcity and wealth - no help/

VERSE 1

Debt plus interest equals eternity/
Modern day slavery, you work for the money, you see/
'Who created the money?' - The same one who controls it/
You refund check happy, before you got that bread, you owed it/
But you splurging to feel good - personal treats, you deserve it/
Besides, them CEO's get bonus checks every year - self signed - guess how they earned it/
Deception, Greed, Corruption - 'What's the root of all evil?'/
Competition between the equal under laws which are illegal/
P-Power to the people/
Trade a gun for a seed and let's eat fool/
Full belly 'stead of full clip - lethal/
Brrrrraaaattt - Fire at 'em - Diesel/
Smoke 'em with kindness/
This is a bomb with a timer/
Once it go off, no longer relevant/
Big as an elephant - boom/
On Earth as it is in Heaven - yeah/

HOOK
Give me liberty or give me death/ Take me out like the trash and dispose of my flesh/
Give me liberty or give me death/ Free souls from the illusion of scarcity and wealth - no help/

VERSE 2

Girl, It's abundance in this world, That's a reason to shake that ass/
Baby, it's a-bun-dance, no Ham-burglars or spam/
Sorry, that was very corny - a small metaphor, lesson for laughs/
Asinine, Ludicrous - Give that ass a nine in the pants/
Plenty of fish swim in the sea, don't get stuck with the stink/
Keep your eyes peeled for albacore or that fresh salmon- pink/
Vicky Seeks: Barbie's Ken/
But Ken got bait, that's hens/
And booze, Hen Dog/
Plus Ken's dogs, that's friends/
Guess what they do to Vicky Secrets - [not, not, not collect them]
Guess what they did to Vicky's secrets - [not, not, not protect them]
What's the point? - Flip the script/
Ken the government - fucking Barbie's citizens behind your back/
Running game - no offense - in your face/
Symbolism - What's that mean? - Peep that/

HOOK
Give me liberty or give me death/ Take me out like the trash and dispose of my flesh/
Give me liberty or give me death/ Free souls from the illusion of scarcity and wealth - no help/

"Sooner or later, the people in this country are going to realize, the government does not give a fuck about them. The government doesn't care about you, or your children, or your rights, or your welfare, or your safety. It simply doesn't give a shit about you. It's interested in it's own power. That's the only thing. Keeping it and expanding it wherever possible." - George Carlin

My grandfather was a Tuskegee Airman

"You know you ain't dealing with no WWII niggas no more" - Dick Gregory
