Cancer In Society

Cancer In Society

Riot 99
(album: Last Train To Nowhere)

Another schoolyard shooting,
and again they blame the films,
no sooner is he put away,
than his shoes are filled,
and the lawmakers say they won´t tolerate,
such bloody expressions of hate,
no they´ll guide the youth,
and implore them to think straight.

But what do they expect?
in a culture that breeds dissent...
There´s a cancer in society,
a cancer in my head,
a cancer in society,
and like a cancer, it will spread.

From the corridors of power,
to the towers of high finance,
the dollar is the life-blood,
that keeps the State alive,
and when the 3rd world crumbles,
under the burden of capitalist debt,
the world just changes the channel,
and just as quickly forgets.
