Hungry people don't stay hungry for long
 They get hope from fire and smoke as they reach for tha dawn
 Hungry people don't stay hungry for long
 They get hope from fire and smoke as they reach for tha dawn

 Tha spirit of Jackson
 Now screams through [bad word] 
 Through factory chains
 And tha ghost of tha union
 Tha forgotten remains
 Disappear to their new homes
 Tha knife tha [bad word] 
 Tha life burns to tha raw bone
 Tha blood on tha floor of tha tear is still dryin'
 Cover tha spread sheets
 Tha Dow Jones skyin'
 Tha cell block live stock
 Tha bodies they buyin'
 Old south order
 New northern horizon

 Violence in all hands
 Embrace it if need be
 (Violence in all hands, Embrace it if need be)
 Livin' been warfare
 I press it to CD
 (Livin' been warfare, I press it to CD)
 Violence in all hands
 Embrace it if need be
 (Violence in all hands, Embrace it if need be)
 Livin' been warfare
 I press it to CD
 (Livin' been warfare, I press it to CD)

 fire in tha master's house is set
 fire in tha master's house is set
 fire in tha master's house is set
 fire in tha master's house is set

 Hungry people don't stay hungry for long
 They get hope from fire and smoke as the wheat grows strong
 Hungry people don't stay hungry for long
 They get hope from fire and smoke as they reach for tha dawn

 Yo, yo, check tha high tech terror
 Of tha new order athletes
 Peering into tha eyes of tha child already on trial
 These armies rippin' families apart
 Get 'em on file
 Convictions fit tha stock profile
 All tha while films of dogs
 Ripping through homes
 Ripping skin from bones
 Yes tha new millennium homes
 Privatizing through private eyes
 An era rising
 Of tha old south order
 New northern horizon

 Violence in all hands
 Embrace it if need be
 (Violence in all hands, Embrace it if need be)
 Livin' been warfare
 I press it to CD
 (Livin' been warfare, I press it to CD)
 Violence in all hands
 Embrace it if need be
 (Violence in all hands, Embrace it if need be)
 Livin' been warfare
 I press it to CD
 (Livin' been warfare, I press it to CD)
