I Got 2 Go

...dedicated to all those dirty handed little men....

(V1)

I'm the silent exclamation, the subconscious of a nation,
I'm deceptive implication, your mea culpa extrication,

(B1)
If you make the diseases, and you withhold the cure,
You can manage the landscape as you please,
But if you can't have a blood stain on your innocent hands,
Then... get... with... the program.

(C2)
I put the pills in Ruby’s soup, I fed the press Osama’s scoop,
And I told Jimmy Ray that I was in touch with the killers,
The go-to guy who has the chops, the dark heart for the blackest ops,
But there’s one certain consequence from all the things I know,
Is that somewhere, somehow, someway, some day… I got to go.

(V2)
I’m an unwritten declaration, the unwanted’s amputation,
And endless evil permeation, and a pathogen to litigation,

(B2)
When the reasons for removal have eclipsed the usefulness,
And you need to throw that switch from miles away,
Yeah, you can have your cake while you are eating it too,
If you get… with… the program.

(C3)
I took the close head shot behind Bobby K,
I threw the Pearl Harbor radar scans away,
And I loaded up the camera, for Massoud’s last interview,
I booked the port for the SS Cole,
I pumped those brakes at the grassy knoll,
But one inescapable consequence, from all the dirt I know,
Is that somewhere, somehow, someway, some day… I got to go.

Solo

(V3)
I’m an installed precondition, of reality’s decomposition,
The blinding mantra repetition of the self-investigative commission,

(B3)
Buy your tickets to the theater and get comfy in your seats,
But don’t expect a different ending than you’ve seen,
If you think iconic millionaires are fighting for you,
If the colors of your passion play are red, white, black and blue,
And if you still consume the shit they have me shoveling to you,
Then you are the program.

(V3)
I’m a soldier in the only war that counts,
The silent one you never hear about,
And the ones you see on the screen,
Are just the drama that you need,
They could put me down by tomorrow morn,
‘Cause they know every day another pawn is born,
And the next no-conscience loser, will accept the quid pro quo,
Because they rule, they thrive, they say, and they know…
That I just got… to go.

(the hit)
