American History X Songtext
von Ill Bill

I eat politicians for breakfast, ′til infinity it's endless
Bill and Hillary, George Bush, everybody′s gettin it
Presidents, Supreme Court Justices, and Senators
Run up in the White House, erase people, edit them
Press delete, hit 'em in the chest with heat
Hail to the chief, bullets everywhere, it's beef
Violence is more American than apple pie and Soul Train
Baseball, nickel-plated nines and cocaine

It′s ILL BILL, Non-Phixion
If I offended you with my words I meant it, protected by the First Amendment
If this was Iraq, I′d a been beheaded
Instead of sparkin' a dialogue, I′d be hangin' in Baghdad shredded
Yeah, I recognize
But if I ever disappear under mysterious pretenses, you guess why
I guess the CIA′s trying to die
They wanna terrorize the kid and fry him alive


Skinheads and Black Hebrews, punk rockers and Hip-Hoppers
Street pharmacists, drug dealers, witch doctors
Rappers wearing 100,000 dollar wrist watches
Little kids starving, the police killed his father
Rich man, poor man, civilized man
Tarzan, who's right fightin′ over God's land?
American History X
Represent the future or know what's next?

I leave an ATF truck burning with the passengers in it
Hit it with anti-aircraft missiles when Bill′s spit it
No apologies, asking what′s wrong with truth
Tell me what's wrong with the world, I′ll tell you what's wrong with you
What′s wrong with the youth, brain eating corpses, and coupes
Sorcerers and spooks, luminating torturous kooks
Murdering devils that wear police officer suits
Revolutionaries standing on street corners and stoops

I'm the reason the FBI killed JFK
The reason they have metal detectors at JFK
The reason that the Constitution no longer protects us
They don′t even need a reason anymore to arrest us
Living in a state of Martial Law, learn the arts of war
Arm yourself, marching forth into the monster's jaws
America eats its young, swallow raw
Falling through the doorway of death, never know what we dying for


Skinheads and Black Hebrews, punk rockers and Hip-Hoppers
Street pharmacists, drug dealers, witch doctors
Rappers wearing 100,000 dollar wrist watches
Little kids starving, the police killed his father
Rich man, poor man, civilized man
Tarzan, who's right fightin′ over God′s land?
American History X
Represent the future or know what's next?

I seen spoiled kids murder their parents with shotguns
And the poor kids from the hood selling their mom′s drugs
A lost generation of fools without a clear destination
No guidance, no rules, no education
And the older generation's no better
Matter of fact they worse, they ought to know better
These greedy motherfuckers trade blood for oil
An American graveyard on another man′s soil
Makes no sense, the Roman Empire in the present tense
Murder for corporations that they represent
Whether Democrat or Republican, the same scumbag government
With scumbag ways of running shit

Skinheads and Black Hebrews, punk rockers and Hip-Hoppers
Street pharmacists, drug dealers, witch doctors
Rappers wearing 100,000 dollar wrist watches
Little kids starving, the police killed his father
Rich man, poor man, civilized man
Tarzan, who's right fightin′ over God's land?
