Big Brother is Trending
Big Brother is Trending
Big Brother is Trending....
Thatʼs some double plus un-good news
Cops are shooting good men dead
Too Black to live they're filled with lead
Come home from school but car broke down
Called un-good they shot him down
Un-person reading a book alone
His child shot the video on a phone
Bearing witness we shared the feed
But it was crime-think, didn't fill the need
Big Brother is Trending
Big Brother is Trending
Big Brother is Trending....
Thatʼs some double plus un-good news
A pipeline built against the law
Treaties broke - hoping natives fall
280 tribes are gathered strong
Won’t hear new-speak in their song!
Big Brother wants us to believe
Protects his lies, defends his need
But the truth is coming into light
We must resist - keep up the fight
Big Brother is Trending
Big Brother is Trending
Big Brother is Trending....
Thatʼs some double plus un-good news
u-un-good news
How do we fight the thought police
When they bend the truth to fit their tweets
We pretend that it's not there
But there is injustice everywhere
When cops murder, pipelines built and
bombs go off at home
It's like the Lord himself is calling you
You must pick up the phone
We learn, we teach, we educate
Ourselves and even those who hate
It's long past the time we must decide
What's more important lives or pride?
Flashing lights and panic
It’s crazy how these wounds is too big to bandage
Rear view mirrors reflect the badges
While iPhones broadcast the damage, so savage
Common in the place where I lay at
and you wonder why I dream about pay back
Moments of hush, all the yellow tape
Silence when the jury sees another case
Another face, like Mike Brown
Riots make the mass come and burn it down
Blue flames, red lights
Gang colors, the police take another life
Hindsight I was judge by a racist mind
Close they eyes, go blind, I’ma still shine
Tutored by the Kings and the X’s
It’s complex how we built for these stresses
There’s too much hate, there’s too much fear
Conflicting truths a thin veneer
Alternative facts interlink
Drown us all in doublethink
They wrecktify the past to fit
their truth into the narrative
Deleting footage of the death
Un-persons will take no more breath!
Big Brother is Trending
Big Brother is Trending
Big Brother is Trending....
Thatʼs some double plus un-good news
B flat A flat
Big Brother is Trending
Big Brother is Trending
Big Brother is Trending....
Thatʼs some double plus un-good news
Thatʼs some double plus un-good news
