Thievery Corporation - Letter to the Editor [Official Music Video]

Pocket full a promises
Baby empty bellies
Poverty and Democracies
And political rallies

But who the rich a lobby for
Using me for votes
Pretend a mi yuh sorry for
Then win and its a joke

I'm sick of trick or treaters in costumes like dem as leaders
Charismatic public speakers
False prophets and fake healers.

Articulate perfect grammar scammer
Scamming us for votes
Infront of tv camera with an innocent approach.

Nuh mo lies and fallacies
Bun apologies
Try nuh ask please when a squeeze and yuh pan yuh knees

Justice or else says the minister Farakhan
Suh me stand up a Gordon house
Wid my Glock Inna me hand

If I take it literally, fuck it geez I'm kinda sorry
But smaddy need Fi answer  
Gimmi Di microphone and Mek mi rep di innocent paying recompense for money spent to feed the governments  

Yo! Gimmi Di microphone get the people riled up too much fuckery Piled up get di ting dem oiled up
Parallel universes in the same Ol' hemisphere
Authorities they don't care with dem nose up in the air

---
Cause our bombs dem metaphoric
We talk Di truth and mek Di youths dem better for it
Cause I'm a fighter, yeah
If you agree put up yuh lighter, yeah
