Slaytanic - The Ballot Or The Bullet Lyrics

Brothers and sisters
And friends
And I see some enemies
In fact
I think we'd be fooling ourselves
If we had an audience this large
And didn't realize
That there were some enemies present
This afternoon we want to talk about
The ballot or the bullet
The ballot or the bullet
Explains itself
There has been an attempt
As perhaps you know now
On the life of President Kennedy
President Kennedy and Governor John Connally
Have been cut down
By assassins bullets in downtown Dallas
But before we get into it
Since this is the year
Of the ballot or the bullet
I would like to clarify some things
That refer to me personally
It's like the whole world
Has spiraled out of control
Violence and war
People dying
And no one's held accountable
So what's it gonna take
To break down the guard and gate?
It's like we all living
Within a work of science fiction
How long's it gonna be
Till we see equality?
The one's who try to warn us
Are quickly turned into martyrs
The history of unpunished violence
Against our people
Wholly communicates
That we must be prepared
To defend ourselves
Or we will continue
To be a defenseless people
At the mercy of a ruthless
And violent, racist mob
It's time now for you and me
To stop running away
From the wolf
Right into the arms of the fox

Brothers and sisters
And friends
And I see some enemies
In fact
I think we'd be fooling ourselves
If we had an audience this large
And didn't realize
That there were some enemies present
This afternoon we want to talk about
The ballot or the bullet
The ballot or the bullet
Explains itself
There has been an attempt
As perhaps you know now
On the life of President Kennedy
President Kennedy and Governor John Connally
Have been cut down
By assassins bullets in downtown Dallas
But before we get into it
Since this is the year
Of the ballot or the bullet
I would like to clarify some things
That refer to me personally
It's like the whole world
Has spiraled out of control
Violence and war
People dying
And no one's held accountable
So what's it gonna take
To break down the guard and gate?
It's like we all living
Within a work of science fiction
How long's it gonna be
Till we see equality?
The one's who try to warn us
Are quickly turned into martyrs
The history of unpunished violence
Against our people
Wholly communicates
That we must be prepared
To defend ourselves
Or we will continue
To be a defenseless people
At the mercy of a ruthless
And violent, racist mob
It's time now for you and me
To stop running away

Right into the arms of the fox
