Hey Bobby - Sage Francis

By the time the flags rotted off of their antennas

they were questioning who the real threat is Big Brotherly love is the 21rst Century’s plague

no matter how bloody the glove, question evidence displayed

Don’t forget what two plus two equals

Don’t let them upgrade your math no matter what they have as proof of evil

Remember when they went after the Jewish people?

You don’t recognize that same black mask as see through?

Attack of the eagles.

If they don’t fall dead

before they reach me, I’ll be damned if I don’t shoot one in its bald head

Fuck what we’re force fed.

All I ever wanted

was a warm bed and a house that wasn’t haunted

I’d rather die for a cause than to die just because

we exhaust natural resources forced into wars

restoring wasteful ways, keeping other countries poor

Monkey see, Monkey do I wonder what those fucking monkeys saw

Keep rethinking the still-frames in your mind

and guarantee they will change with time

Your outline is pixelated with poor resolution while

downtime is simply wasted.

You were born execution style

Head first in a trial.

I’ll second the motion

'Til the jury’s bored to death and puts your neck in a notion

The situation’s volatile.

A naked problem child

is trying to find the right clown costume to make his father smile

So he bombs while he tries to tell jokes

This ain’t a false alarm, can’t you smell the smoke?

You’re in the line of fire where they buy and sell votes

Our sense of liberty doesn’t ring true, stupid, that’s why the bell broke

Trench coat Mafiosos propel rocks

at recruitment officers and rebel against cops

'Til they hurdle infinite circles in small cell blocks

Turtle upon turtle 'til they’re all shell shocked

This so-called president got elected in a court room

With the war efforts of pops he inherited a fortune

We talk, talk, talk… so the veterans of war assume

the revolution stopped.

This ain’t a protest tune

Hey, Bobby… the Masters are back.

They’re up to no good just like the old days

They played dead when you stood over their grave, Bobby.

They played dead when

you stood over their grave

Hey, Bobby… them bastards are back.

It’s our turn to stand over their grave

I’m a do it right this time… I'm awake… I'm a wait until their fuckin’skin

decays.

You can’t roam a lost land as the last existing dinosaur

There’s no escaping ass kickings in these times of war

replacing apples with hospitals… where doctors are hostile

Killing two pterodactyls with one fossil

I got you.

If they don’t fall dead

Before they reach me, I’ll be damned if I don’t shoot one in it’s bald head

Fuck what we’re force fed.

All I ever wanted

Was a warm bed… and house that wasn’t haunted

Thumb through novels to have your fingerprints match

The description of criminals committing innocent acts

of compassion for tired civilians crawling with pistols

While we fire million dollar warning missals

Force the issues in the back of your head where eyes roll

Brain wash yourself out of that mind control

Or act a fool like you’re told

But we won’t see no type of justice 'til that bitch removes the blindfold

This ain’t a Love it or leave it, it’s a Change it or lose it.

I’ll never sing the anthem of a nation who never faces the music

Chasing an ever-elusive caveman

in space ships that makes trips to the futures that are name-brand

Faking progress… but we ain’t advanced

Enough to change the posture of our ape stance?

They’ve got the key to the city but they prefer the break-in entry

Duck and weave, I’m shedding light in their shadow box to make it empty

Hey, Bobby… the Masters are back.

They’re up to no good just like the old days

They played dead when you stood over their grave, Bobby.

They played dead when

you stood over their grave

Hey, Bobby… them bastards are back.

It’s our turn to stand over their grave

I’m a do it right this time… I'm awake… I'm a wait until their fuckin’skin

decays.

Attack of the eagles.

If they don’t fall dead

Before they reach me, I’ll be damned if I don’t shoot one in its bald head

Fuck what we’re force fed.

All I ever wanted

was a warm bed.

There’s nothing scarier than the human stories I tell ghosts

Chilling accounts with my tongue frozen to bed posts

The catharses of carcasses whenever threats are close

Shows a heartlessness that doesn’t register on stethoscopes

Sell your hopes for a homeland security chart

'Til your sense of self is broke and no man’s pure in the heart

Preventive detention for the folks who never left home

Tensions have grown into a 24/7 red zone

Scare tactics… have got you under control

The fear factors of a color code.

The uppers know

They can’t hold you down without having anchors attached

It’s all the same.

Nah, balls and chains on ankles don’t match

So drag your torso back to the off road

We may have lost the fashion battle but we ain’t lost the wardrobe

Go window shopping for your next free meal

Cuz when we start the revolution all you’ll probably do is steal

Hey, Bobby… the Masters are back.

They’re up to no good just like the old days

They played dead when you stood over their grave, Bobby.

They played dead when

you stood over their grave

Hey, Bobby… them bastards are back.

It’s our turn to stand over their grave

I’m a do it right this time… I'm awake… I'm a wait until their fucking skin

decays.
