Beast Is Us
Braintax

[talking: man]

... to face the fact

That in a democratic country, we are responsible for what our government's do

And the only way we can expiate that responsibility is to

Use every breath we have, everything we can do

To demonstrate our utter rejection of the criminal acts of our government's


[Verse 1:]

Apartheid on West Bank - nobody cares

Shots coming from the left flank, the kids unaware

Refugee camps a death camp, live by the flares

I'm here to treat me like I got opinions nobody shares?

My politics is more than just 'f**k Tony Blair'

Gordon Brown, David Cameron, that's why I'm still standing

I'm more inclined to expose Israel to their apartheid

Bring on your excuses, the truth is you can't hide

Even when our politicians in the West act righteous and piest

Doing what they do best - start talking all about road maps and shit

While Israelis are busy busting caps and shit

Got the bulldozers out and constructing shit

This place another farmer but that land is his

When Hamas fired rockets Israel rebounds

Kills five times more, locks the checkpoints down

How the f**k you putting checkpoints there to start with?

When that land's Palistinian, it's known and it's chartered

Collective punishment, they dish it out daily

So I hate Israel but I don't hate Israelis

Do you get that? Think a little bit before you get pissed

And is it any wonder Gaza kids adopt a death wish

And don't beleive that being Jewish is the same as being pro-Zionist

That's a Zionist game to make you think cussing Israel's a racist view

I don't think so, but I'll tell you what racists do

To make you think that other people's are stupid and mean

And get to killing 'em - Like Sharon did in Geneve

Start provoking 'em - Like Sharon did at Temple Mount

Same way Bush is always calling Muslims out

Same way the Home Office over here is always calling minorities out

Calling you racists out

f**k some 'baby baby' shit, some 'get go f**k a bitch' gravy gravy shit

BRAINTAX GAVE YOU THIS

You wanna be like I was too serious

I'll say stay ignorant and I'll stay curious


[Chorus:]

Ask the rest of the world - The beast is us

Wanna buy another weapon - The beast is us


Wanna get away with murder - The beast is us

We're the West and the beast is us

Ask the rest of the planet - The beast is us

Want to buy another missile - The beast is us

Yesteryear we trust bombs from Russia with love

But nowadays I guess the beast is us (The beast is us)


[Verse 2:]

Short memories allay [? ]

Spit 'bout crimes we forget for the sake of our own little tragedy's

Incidental maladies

Irrelivant like a f**king Akon balladist

The biggest shame of this society we live in

While we act all spiritual when we're money driven

It's the way we forget in a hell of a rush

Like 'If it ain't affecting me then I ain't too fussed'

Then there's bombs on the street and us Brits get shaky

But how can we be shot - Check our leadership lately?

They're rattling to save us, talking 'bout Jesus

Fundementalist believers acting like crusaders

Memories are short over here

The zeitgeist is a truck that the media steer

So we ain't on the streets protesting - We're stuck in front of TV sex digesting

Forgetting about the lies and the unfound weapons

Suggestions, the questions we should be asking journalists a second

I'm (BRAAAIIIIN) taxing - the opposite of asprin

Blood is on the streets and the East End soaking it up

Bush making me a target - and I'm not too pleased

There's no peace when the beast is us


[Chorus]


[talking: woman]

... We see other families in the area suffer very heavy casualties

Perhaps 160 wounded were taken to Gaza City Shifa Hospital last night

There are more than two dozen still in hospital

Head wounds, fractures, burns from flying pieces of metal

Among them are many children

The very high civillian casualty toll from the assasination attempt

Has really fuelled the fire of revenge here

People are saying that Hamas is retaliatory

That strike against Israel is inevitable now

And that likely means a suicide attack on Israeli cities
