Mr. Government

(lyrics - Dr. Frank, Kemal and Deen; music/vocals - Deen; music - Kemal. Recorded in 1994 at Kemal Studio)

Verse

Folks are sad
Times are very hard
Things are really bad
Oh, oh, Oh, ho, Woo, Oh, Woe...

Can't find no work
Not even a hope
Things are really bad
Oh, oh, Oh, ho, Woo, Oh, Woe...

Chorus

Mr. Government, its my family
Mr. Government, its my family
Mr. Government, what are you doing to me?
Mr. Government, what are you doing to me?
Mr. Government, Mr. Government
I cannot pay the rent
Mr. Government, Mr. Government
I do not have a cent

Repeat First Verse

Bridge (a turn for the worst)

So much misery
For my family
Children suffering
What are you doing?

Chorus

Repeat First Verse

Don't want to hear them cry
For things they cannot buy
Prices are soaring high

Rap

Times are really rough, can't buy a car
Have to walk and get too far
Price of food will strike you dead
Soon, I'll have to beg my bread

Rent is too hard, I'm trying my best
With this strenght I feel no less
But we have to hope and say
The government will give us a better day

Chorus

You know you got to know
You know you got to go

Burn Babylon Burn

(written and performed by The Slave Warrior, Serajudeen Nausrudeen, "Deen," on August 1, 1995)

Intro:

Genocide. Oppressed masses unite.
One and for all
Babylon wall must fall

Verse

Arise and Warn
Warriors coming to uproot Babylon
Spreading flames and fire
Rebels coming from down under

Patience long gone
In a oppression we were born
In this modern age
Warriors a rampage, fire a rage...

Day of destruction
Sinners got nowhere to run
Must gotta burn

Chorus

Burn Babylon burn
Burn until kingdom come
Burn Babylon burn
Burn until judgement come down
Burn, Babylon, burn

Verse

Fire a rage,
Poor a suffer more
Programs designed
To kill them from the core
Weak weeping more

We will fight, victory for sure
Empire of vampires
Draining the tears and blood from us all
Final upheaval
Nothing must remain, Babylon must fall

Chorus

Chechnia’s Children

(written and performed by Deen, 1996)

Chorus

Hey little Chechnia boy
Hey little Chechnia girl
We are children
So, why this suffering
Will we live to see another day
Or will the bombs of destruction
Blow us away?

What ever happen to our playgrounds?
Who has burned and buried our homes
Down to the ground,
Killing women and children all around?

Chorus

We have been living here,
For so many ages;
We want to return
To our villages.

Chorus

When will humanity understand
We need to live together
Live as one
So we can have peace
Throughout the lands

Chorus

Educate organize Agitate
