DJ Shalem - Makeshift Patriot lyrics

[Intro] I've heard enough of you young fellas, who think you know it all You know nothing, you have not seen a shot fired And you're waving the damn flag Frank, what's up man? Watchin' some bullsh**, on the news f**in' bullsh**. Reporters, tryin' to win a f**in' Emmy [Hook] Makeshift patriot The flag shop is out of stock I hang myself at half-mast Makeshift patriot The flag shop is out of stock I hang myself via live telecast Coming live from my own funeral The beautiful weather offered a nice shine Which is suitable for a full view of a forever-altered skyline It's times like these I freestyle biased opinions every other sentence My journalistic ethics slip when I pa** them off as objective: "Don't gimme that ethical sh**." I've got exclusive, explicit images to present to impressionable American kids And it's time to show this world how big our edifice is That's exactly what they attacked when a typically dark-skinned Disney villain Used civilians against civilians and charged the Trojan horses into our buildings Using commercial aviation as instruments of destruction Pregnant women couldn't protect their children Wheelchairs were stairway obstructions Now I have to backpedal from the shower of gla** and metal Wondering how after it settles we'll find who provided power to radical rebels The Melting Pot seems to be calling the kettle black when it boils over But only on our own soil so the little boy holds a toy soldier And waits for the suit and tie to come home. We won't wait till he's older Before we destroy hopes for a colder war to end "Now get a close up of his head" [Hook] Makeshift patriot The flag shop is out of stock I hang myself at half-mast Makeshift patriot The flag shop is out of stock I hang myself while the stock markets crash The city is covered in inches of muck I see some other pictures of victims are up Grieving mothers are thinking their children are stuck Leaping lovers are making decisions to jump! While holding hands, to escape the brutal heat Sometimes in groups of the three The fallout goes far beyond the toxic cloud where people look like debris But all they saw after all was said, beyond the talking heads Was bloody dust with legs looking like the walking dead calling for meds Hospitals are overwhelmed. Volunteers need to go the hell home Moments of silence for fire fighters were interupted by cell phones Who's going to make that call to increase an unknown d**h toll? It's the one we rally behind He's got a megaphone, and he's promising to make heads roll So we cheer him on, but asbestos is affecting our breath control The less we know, the more they fabricate. The easier it is to sell souls Talking Interlude: "There is a new price on freedom, so buy into it while supplies last Changes need to be made: No more curbside baggage 7PM curfew Racial profiling will continue with less b**hing We've unified over who to k**, so until I find more relevant scripture to quote, remember; our God is bigger, stronger, smarter and much wealthier So wave those flags with pride, especially the white part" We sell addictive 24-hour candlelight vigil in TVs Freedom will be defended at the cost of civil liberties Viewers are glued to television screens Stuck, cause lots of things seem too sick I use opportunities to pluck heart strings for theme music I'll show you which culture to pump your fist at, and what foot is right to kiss We don't know who the culprit is yet, but he looks like this We know who the heros are. Not the xenophobes who act hard "We taught that dog to squat How dare he do that sh** in our own back yard!" They happened to scar our financial state and char our landscape Can you count how many times so far I ran back this same damn tape? While a cameraman creates news and shoves it down our throats on the West Bank With a ten-second clip put on constant loop to provoke US angst So get your tanks and load your guns and hold your sons in a family huddle Because even if we win this tug of war and even the score, humanity struggles There's a desperate need of blood for what's been uncovered under the rubble Some of them dug for answers in the mess, but the rest were looking for trouble [Hook] Makeshift patriot The flag shop is out of stock I hang myself at half-mast Makeshift patriot The flag shop is out of stock I hang myself, don't waive your rights with your flags
