Deep Freeze (Rap-A-Song) (Part 1)

(álbum: Theater Of The Mind - 1986)

Yeah, man... sitting here, smoking...
Would you say it again, baby?
For real, man
Yo, yo, let me check let me check what's on the radio, man. See what lies they tell us now...
Oh, hell yeah
Yo, I'm gonna take a leak...

[Radio announcer:]
Good evening, it's 6 pm, and you're listening to WELI – We Lie Radio, bringing you today's headline news
First in the news, the Pentagon has announced it will be donating all of this year's defense budget–the sum of 10.6 quadzillion dollars–in order to aid cancer research. [laughs]
The USSR and the United States have united for a space shuttle mission, in order to colonize and build co-ops on various planets in our Solar System. [more laughing]
Also, all nuclear weapons worldwide have been disarmed. There has been a state of all-out peace declared
In a surprise move, MTV will air 5000 hours of continuous funk. [laughing becomes hysterical]
And I've just been handed today's weather bulletin from our dr. Phil Field here at We Lie Radio, and it says that we should all be prepared for a Deep Freeze...

Why is life so hard for me
When others live in luxury?
Huh, I get fired and they get hired
At 21 I might as well be retired
Nuclear war right at my door
It makes me wonder what I'm living for
Because the Big Bomb is the real boss
While I'll be lost in the Holocaust
Waste billions of dollars every day
But people are starving a world away
Yes, the rich and famous, teeth in lies
While little babies are left to die
I won't stay cool, my mind's on hold
It's time to go all out, I just get off
You do anything, anything you please
Good God, I'm for Deep Freeze...

The world spins a new sycophantion [?]
Thinking minds search for a clue
Stop that social constipation
The plan divides me and you
They say rich get rich, you stay poor
Wonder what you're working for
Truth's on strike, overnight
Wrong is right, uptight

Deep Freeze
Ha, ha-honey ho
Knocks me to my knees
It's a Deep Freeze, ooh!
Ha, ha-honey ho
Knocks me to my knees
Everybody say "huh"!

Well... we're in the Land of the Free, the Home of the Brave
But sometimes I still feel like a slave
My thoughts are in shackles, my mind's in chains
And sometimes I think I'll go insane
The American farmer can't even eat
'Cause the government say they can't sell his wheat
[?] to the pimp, and they don't care
'Cause they trickling off millions everywhere
And listen here, for the elderly
Who are suffering in our society
The richest land that could ever be
But cat food is their delicacy!

On my radio, some other voice I hear
It's the same game, just a different name
On your MTV you make it very clear
Want R&B, but not from me (scram!)

Deep Freeze
Ha, ha-honey ho
Knocks me to my knees
It's a Deep Freeze, ooh!
Ha, ha-honey ho
Knocks me to my knees
Everybody say "huh"!

People of the world, let's not fight
Let's get together and make it right
The time has come for all to see
That we can live in unity
