It starts at a young age
It's made to look cool and bad ass
It's made easily accessible for everyone
If you aren't doing it, you are alone because everyone else is
It's seen as a form of rebellion and looked up to by youth
Addictive substances are used to influence the path of a person's life
Wasted indeed
In the past, it's always been the most oppressed class who are the ones to rise and overthrow their ruling class
But alcohol plays a major role in maintaining this hierarchy
And as we consume, we perpetuate our self-destruction
Pacify, sedate, incapacitate
Capitalism has us where it needs us for it to survive
(It's no accident) every class has marketed to them, a tool to pacify
We are provided with what keeps us calm and content
Self-destructive addictions is their ultimate intent
Drop the beer and pick a brick
It's the ones we fight who supply that shit
Our apathy means they have won, so drop the drugs and pick up a gun
When one chooses not to drink, it's as though they are ejecting themselves from the customs of their friends and for nothing
But a group of such people, if not tranquilized by self destruction, would be on the front lines to destroy oppression
I know you can do it and it's never too late to quit because your mind is strong and you control it
Do it for yourself and for those who look up to you
Lead by example and inspire change
It's what we must do
Drop the beer and pick a brick
It's the ones we fight who supply that shit
Our apathy means they have won, so drop the drugs and pick up a gun
Rolling that smoke, you load his weapon as the oppressor shoves his gun in your mouth
Taking the handle, you pull the trigger as you suck down the tar filled bullets of smoke
Sedition not sedation
It's no accident that the poorest of people live in areas surrounded by bars and drug stores
Those who would rise are kept down by the poison they're fed
And even if you have control of your habits
...your participation alone makes it cool in the eyes of your younger peers, so it's legitimized
They see you smoke, so they buy cigarettes
And when they know you drink, the drunkenness spreads
Addictive substances are used to influence the path of a person's life
Wasted indeed
The ones getting wasted should be the pigs!
Our self destruction is the oppressor's ultimate goal
