Around our nation's capital
There's a freeway 8 lanes wide
White concrete ringed around the city
For those who want inside
Get on get off
Ignore everything to the sides
In your midst I drive
While homeboys in the back of the van make drugs

Wanna hide something like a crack lab
Just put it in plain sight
Only stop to refuel and unload
More poison to tear more lives apart
Whole neighborhoods are going psycho
Gang wars like never before
Better lock your doors, buy some guns
And pray for martial law

On the Washington D.C. Beltway
Around and around I go
In the black van with no windows
And a chimney puffing smoke
Bloody headlines in the news each day
Drug "crisis" everywhere
So much comes in so easy
It's as though someone wants it there

It would be a little obvious
To fence off all the slums
Hand out machine guns
To the poor in the projects
And watch 'em kill each other off
A more subtle genocide is when
The only hope for the young
Is to join the Army and slowly die
Wall Street or Crack Dealer Avenue
The last roads left to the American Dream

Wall Street or Crack Dealer Avenue
Only on road leads to this neighborhood
Little kids wanna sell drugs when they grow up

The folks might get just a little upset
If they knew where that dope comes from
From Columbia to the Contras
To our Air Force bases, where we trade it for guns
The moral equivalent of a serial killer
And his CIA friends
Call the shots from the White House
But now that we own the media too
Those stories just don't run

On the Washington D.C. Beltway, 'round and 'round I go
In a black van with no windows, and a chimney puffing smoke
Same gang that ran smack in Viet Nam
Ain't got no reason to fear
Just get a Vice President so dumb
The crook at the top never gets impeached

That sure was easy wasn't it?
More crack-more panic- more cops- more jails

You see emergency-total war
You see a black face-you see a crackhead
You see a black face-you see Willie Horton with a knife
You see Willie Horton with a knife
You see one Willie Horton you've seen them all
They're everywhere, I know

You asked for it, you've got it
Drug suspects have no rights at all
Property seized and sold before trial
Labor camps-on American soil!
Neo-Nazi bootboys
That the cops never seem to arrest
Prowl neighborhoods with baseball bats
Why do they get so much press... ?

Mein Kampf-the mini series
Ollie North-"patriotic" hero
The leader for tomorrow is yours today
Finally gotcha psyched for a police state

On the Washington D.C. Beltway
Around and around I go
In a black van with no windows
And a chimney puffing smoke
My van's a mobile oven now
That burns the bodies you never see
Just like in Chile or Guatemala
People just seem to disappear

Just like Rome
We fell asleep when we got spoiled
Ignore human rights in the rest of the world
You might as well lose your own

As the noose of narco-militarism
Tightens 'round our necks

We worry about burning flags
And pee in jars at work
To keep our jobs

But if someone came for you one night
And dragged you away
Do you really think your neighbors
Would even care...

Ollie for president, he'll get things done!

War is a business created by modern day ( )man. The process to death makes money. What type of mind is it that pursues such ventures?

[woodbell67]

@renejreeves the type of mind that places personal gain above everything.

the type of mind necessary to be in the 1 %

[CautionCU]

@woodbell67 Anarchy now my friends. First there was the tribal leader. Then the king. Then the president. Next every man is his own king.

[woodbell67]

@CautionCU how about everyone serving the All instead of trying to rule?

[oshitzitsbiggiesmall]

@woodbell67 So communism? this has been tried many times around the world and rarely no very very rarely has good things come from it. It all depends on the values beliefs and culture of the populous it under for example in Tibet it works wonders but it has been basically the same for thousands of years and greed to them is almost nonexistent here in the USgreed would takeover and prety much the problem with social inequality would dramaticaly increase unless wechange which would tke generations

[woodbell67]

@oshitzitsbiggiesmall ? If I cared about your opinion I'd be banging my face against the nearest wall as hard as i could.

[79hyperwave]

@renejreeves the shadow knows



[renejreeves]

@CautionCU They have pointed their way, beliving they have the right to rule, that's not right and when their way is damning to our inviroment we have the right to do somthing about it. The way we are governed now is lunacy.

[CautionCU]

@woodbell67 Impossible. Now we continue serve the few in the name of the all. It has always been this way. Even syndicalism like many in here will propose will end with the few enriched my many. Society should be voluntary. All of the myths you have heard of the divine sanctity of organization are just that. Do not hurt your brother. This is the same rule which Jesus suggested 2000 years ago. We would be wise to learn from these people who have pointed the way forward for us.
