Exile Songtext
von Shad

Though I empathize with em
And sympathize with em
(x4)


Though I empathize with em
And sympathize with em
I don′t enterprise with em
Or synchronize with em
We don't strategize with em
We′re not allies with em
We don't fratenize with em
Let em patronize
We don't want no ties with em
Wont monopolize with em
Let em ostracize
We don′t
compromise with em
We wont victimize with em
Commit genocide with em
Spit their lies with em
Or objectify women with em
Socialize with em
Broke my ties with em
Now we open-eyed in this over-hyped system
We know...

Chorus:
This wisdom of man
Is foolishness to God
Don′t build on the sand
Or trust in the odds
Be shrewd as the snakes
And innocent as doves
Don't succumb to hate
Overcome hate with love
(x2)


We′re taught not to question to status
quo cuz the masses never get heard
that's unless your established
with expert professors in dress-shirts
and glasses that lecture to classes
from lecterns
where next term the best third will pass an′
earn cash working as
desk clerks for the best firms in manhattan
where the pressure can crack em
cuz networks and net worth and class get
treasured over pleasures that last
always measuring stacks
a passion for lesser god's
growing, see – the distraction is clever
but trust

(chorus)

Though I empathize with em
And sympathize with em
I don′t enterprise with em
Or synchronize with em
We don't strategize with em
We're not allies with em
We don′t fratenize with em
Let em patronize
We don′t want no ties with em
Wont monopolize with em
Let em ostracize
We don't
compromise with em
We wont victimize with em
Commit genocide with em
Spit their lies with em
Or objectify women with em
Socialize with em
Broke my ties with em
Now we open-eyed in this over-hyped system
We see...

(chorus)
