Letra

[Intro]
We need not climb on the shoulders of our elders to look at their toes
[Verse 1]
This
This is the war my favorite poet warned me about
The one between me and me
The slow drag crawling inward
The terrible stench of lies sweeping the mouths of the people
A rat pissing on cotton
A self-administered needle in the arm
Zombie stares and rubber spines
The fountain outside my window whispers of calm
The bombs dropping in my head
How many children?
How many children died for the sake of my comfort today?
How do I survive?
How do I survive, how do I survive this inability
To stop the worst acts known to mankind?
It's the us of it
The us of it
[Chorus]
Tell them
Tell them
Tell them to talk about the blood
The sweet red river of rage
Pulsing footsteps in a chest
The skin of a drum
The shaking brush of bruise of the blue black truth
Tell them to talk about the blood
[Verse 2]
Rwanda missiles in the Congo
From east to west, east to west, east to west
The stolen presidency
The government brainwashing
Paul Kagame
A dictator's love affair with the West
The military regime oppressing the people
1986 Uganda
U.S. allies
[Chorus]
Tell them
Tell them, tell them
Talk about the blood
[Verse 3]
The Tutsis
Agents of the West
Migrants looting the land
The tentacles of the local elite
Neighboring responsibility
Corporations mining, the World Bank and the IMF
[Chorus]
Tell them, tell them
Talk about the blood
Talk about the blood
Vanishing visions
Scarcity strangling the givers with everything to lose
The censorship
The censorship, the dank jail cell
[Chorus]
Tell them, tell them
Talk about it
Talk about it, talk about
The blood
[Outro]
The death machines in our palms
Scrolling the death machines in our palms
Tell them
Tell them
Talk about it
Talk about
The blood
