Feast
I heard an old man on the radio
He said he's lived in fear for decades
He said he's hoped and prayed for 70 years
But he no longer believes in change
They killed a kid with my name today
He did nothing wrong, he was just on his way
Home from the corner store with some iced tea
It's been a full year, all the killers still walking free
Fuck this
This callous waste of human life
Is this
What you'd call civilized
No
Welcome to Amerika
It's a beautiful place ruled by cannibals
We're serving light meat as well as dark
Whoever's an easier mark
This machine feeds on human meat
And it doesn't ever sleep
Enjoy your stay in the melting pot
We're all just here to be fed on
The cops are just the cutlery
They're not the ones who started the feast
Power corrupts, and the higher-ups
They've always had a taste for blood
They built this nation on pain
They're not gonna change while there's blood left to drain
If we stand by and watch while they kneel on our brothers' necks
They'll be coming for us next
This is
Something that we cannot ignore
This is
A never-ending war
Welcome to Amerika
It's a beautiful place ruled by cannibals
We're serving light meat as well as dark
Whoever's an easier mark
This machine feeds on human meat
And it doesn't ever sleep
Enjoy your stay in the melting pot
We're all just here to be fed on
When violence
Is the language of the law
Riots
Are the language of the unheard
Silence
Is the language of the guilty
No more, no more
When violence
Is the language of the law
Riots
Are the language of the unheard
Silence
Is the language of the guilty
No more, we've had enough
He said he's lived in fear for decades
He said he's hoped and prayed for 70 years
But he no longer believes in change
They killed a kid with my name today
He did nothing wrong, he was just on his way
Home from the corner store with some iced tea
It's been a full year, all the killers still walking free
Fuck this
