Come on! solo, I'm a soloist on a solo list All live, never on a floppy disk
Inka, inka, bottle of ink Paintings of rebellion
Drawn up by the thoughts I think Come on!
The militant poet in once again, check it
It's set up like a deck of cards They're sending us to early graves
For all the diamonds They'll use a pair of clubs to beat the spades
With poetry I paint the pictures that hit More like the murals that fit
Don't turn away Get in front of it
(**) Brotha, did ya forget ya name? Did ya lose it on the wall
Playin' tic-tac-toe? check the diagonal Three brothers gone
Come on Doesn't that make it three in a row?
Spoken quietly: "Anger is a gift" Come on!
heck that! Come on Yeah Uggh
(**)
Environment The environment exceeding on the level
Of our unconciousness For example
What does the billboard say Come and play, come and play
Forget about the movement
Spoken quietly: "Anger is a gift" Freedom! (sing365)
The video for this song is focused on Leonard Peltier, the American Indian Movement leader who was framed by the FBI and has rotted in a jail cell for the past 20 years. The general theme of this song is how the US government, media, and corporations are able to convince Americans they have their "freedom" while secretly blinding them to any other reality, which makes the freedom seem so much more of a reality (songfacts)
Leonard Peltier is a Native American activist and member of the American Indian Movement . In 1977 he was convicted and sentenced to two consecutive terms of life imprisonment for first degree murder in the shooting of two Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents during a 1975 conflict on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.
Peltier's indictment and conviction is the subject of the 1992 documentary Incident at Oglala, a film directed by Michael Apted. Peltier has been identified as a political prisoner by certain activist groups. Amnesty International placed his case under the "Unfair Trials" category of its Annual Report: USA 2010 citing concerns with the fairness of the proceedings. His murder conviction has survived appeals in various courts over the years.
In 2002 and 2003, Paul DeMain, editor of News From Indian Country, wrote that sources had told him that Peltier had said he killed the FBI agents; DeMain withdrew his support for clemency. At the trials in 2004 and 2010 of two men indicted for the murder of Anna Mae Aquash in December 1975 at the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, prosecution witnesses testified that Peltier had told them and a small group of fugitive activists, including Aquash, that he had shot the two FBI agents. Peltier issued a statement in 2004 accusing one witness of perjury for her testimony and being a sellout. The two men charged in the murder of Aquash were convicted. (wikipedia)
