Lyrics:

We got the goons sittin’ down with the rawhides
The fed and starved won’t judge viewing court side
Meeting of the minds can’t blow our brains out
Expensive cheap rug, we can’t get the stains out
Late in fashion stares on the run way
Serious biz, work hard, no one plays
Took a lot of chances, got advances
Devils on the prom night, stopped all the dances

….Street science human chemistry
…the capital alone it could ruin industries
….here’s the research try and see
…Higher education tainted poison Ivy Leagues

The table, the harvest
unstable, the smartest
…who’s the hunter or the hunted
hogging that attention to speak at the summit

The table, the harvest
unstable, the smartest
…who’s the hunter or the hunted
hogging that attention to speak at the summit

They sit behind closed doors
Plottin’ and plannin’ for more more more
Powerful people, connivin’, schemin’
Of how to get their goals to be our dreams and
It’s up to us to notice the power we possess
Lies in the time that we take
Cuz when we stall the system breaks so

Throw! (Throw) That! (That!) Weight! (Weight!) Wait Around
Throw! (Throw) That! (That!) Weight! (Weight!) Wait Around
Throw! (Throw) That! (That!) Weight! (Weight!) Wait Around
Throw! (Throw) That! (That!) Weight! (Weight!)

Shake babies, kiss hands
don’t look back, switch plans
No life left seeing heads jolt
Fingers on the pulse locked in, no dead bolt
Paint the town red rob a Red Cross
Or from the dead of the heads tossed
No consequence, contribution
Cutting on the TV to cause more confusion
A factoid as well, bad boys in hell
got tabloids for sell
Of what they teach, stress all the classes
They do stress, all the masses

They perch on golden thrones
Laughing while we’re throwin’ stones
Distractin’ us from what matters most
We’re all made from water, air and bones
Electricity from our head down to our toes
Gives us the power we need
To hack the system, so repeat now!

Throw! (Throw) That! (That!) Weight! (Weight!) Wait Around
Throw! (Throw) That! (That!) Weight! (Weight!) Wait Around
Throw! (Throw) That! (That!) Weight! (Weight!) Wait Around
Throw! (Throw) That! (That!) Weight! (Weight!) Wait Around
