Burn This Bitch Down
(Coz I don't dance to your tune no mo')

"We don't need no water let the motherfucker burn"
                            --Bloodhound Gang

I ain't marching for Trayvon,
I ain't marching for Mike,
I ain't marching for queers,
Ain't marching for dykes.

I ain't marching for no one
With some fake PhDicks--
Fuck your Jacksons and Sharptons,
Fuck your Lakers and Knicks.

I ain't marching for Cosby,
Raping rising young stars,
If it weren't for his money
He'd rot behind bars.

I ain't marching for no one,
I've heard enough jive
From the ones who make millions,
While we slave nine to five.

I ain't marching for no one,
Farrakhan, MLK,
Karl Marx or Obama,
Malcolm X, JFK.

I ain't marching for Marley,
Crosby, Stills, Nash or Young--
No, I'd rather be broke,
Stoned or drunk.

I don't need your empowering
Multicultural lie,
Where the rich fuck the poor,
While the poor just die.
