I got a letter from the government The other day Opened it and read it It said they were suckers They wanted me for their army or whatever Picture me givin' a damn, I said never Here is a land that never gave a damn About a brother like myself Because I never did I wasn't wit' it, but just that very minute It occurred to me The suckers had authority Cold sweatin' as I dwell in my cell ...
yeah, I've always dug this song, the war is not between countries or races, but between evil fuckwits that exist in every country and the larger part of the population(s) that we would hope have a better grasp on sanity. Lets think back to the Iraq invasion, which had the largest protests in human history, yet it went ahead
This is a remix from the Hip-hop group Public Enemy from the late 80's...Still pertinent and relevant today...Tell those suckers to keep their draft cards and no i'm not going to fight their proxy wars...
Tricky was a member of UK 'trip hop' band Massive Attack (Unfinished Sympathy etc)and this is a cover version rather than a remix. Totally agree with you, though. Great song originally and I like this too.
loved this song.

It seems the 90s produced some of the best trip-hop. :/

These elections, vote for "NOBODY"
"NOBODY" works for the public interest
"NOBODY" cares for you
"NOBODY" deserves your support!
