Lyrics for The Politics Of Starving

It's time for some real world politics Economics, history, math and English Born and raised and bred walking a thin line Between lost and succeeding it's another cannibal The rules aren't changing, if you really don't like it The threat has always been there, and terror always happens For all the fights, for all the songs, all we said All we have is these pictures of us If it doesn't matter now, then it never really did And without this we might as well be dead They're all black and white people And that doesn't have anything to do with us After all these years it's still an arms race After all these years they still don't fucking get it Lives and cultures matter more than capitalist interest It's the FBI, it's the CIA, the ATM, the IMF, in the end, fuck you For all the fights, for all the songs, all we said All we have is these pictures of us If it doesn't matter now, then it never really did And without this we might as well be dead When you are so hungry that you'd believe anything They're selling you the politics of starving And what the fuck does that really mean to us?
