Bassnectar Video with Lyrics (It's Not the Job of Politicians to Inform You)
I transcribed the lyrics, so you don't have to.
Right Now!
It's not the job of politicians to inform you
It's supposedly the job of the media
But their central concern is to sell you, and therefore
They don't want to upset you
Their primary responsibility is not to their listeners or their readers
But to their owners, the stock brokers
And it is in the interest of the Military-Industrial Complex
That millions remain uninformed or misinformed
From Deathrow; for Free Speech Radio
This is Mumia Abu Jamal
Revolution can mean anything
But I will tell you this
That a Revolution according to Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Monroe, and all of the Founding Fathers
Is my divine right
Where we would like to cut right now
It's going to be a very big hit
It's not the job of politicians to inform you

But their central concern is to sell you, and therefore
They don't want to upset you
Their primary responsibility is not to their listeners or their readers
