Future Rock 03:36
This is Future Rock! This big-beat Blasting out of the tenement yards Through the shantytowns Off the prison walls Rip out your headphones Get ready to dance ya'll Future-Rock Interrogating your dancehall I'm coming for your children And I'm coming tonight Coming tonight Coming tonight I don't wanna hear the same old sound The same old sound I don't wanna hear the same old sound I'm ready for the showdown This is the future rock This is the future rock Look out your window There's a party below Welcome to the war-torn Dancefloor uproar The Mumbai mambo Petrograd rap Heavy metal samba It's a matter of fact Outernational's sound It's a counterattack The horn's already blowing There'll be no turning back I don't wanna hear the same old sound The same old sound I don't wanna hear the same old sound I'm ready for the showdown This is the future rock This is the future rock Is it a style Or a way of life? Is it the sound Of the coming riots? This is the story Of a gang that flies Rhythms and rhymes Lighting up the sky A microscope looking close Seeing all that's inside A telescope to the horizon If you open your eyes I don't wanna hear the same old sound The same old sound I don't wanna hear the same old sound I'm ready for the showdown This is the future rock This is the future rock

Empty Lives 03:09
They ask you for a career in life They never ask you what kind of world you'd like Got your hopes and dreams Under the knife Pick up the pace Get ready for sunrise I'm on a mission with horizon eyes I ain't no missionary Too many lies Living in the master's house You want a piece of the pie I'm in the master's house With my eyes on the prize Empty lives in the United States Like a religion I'm shaking the faith I tell these kids with Scarface on their lips On that little ass corner you ain't regulating shit This parasitic, pornographic culture False hopes, American vultures Empty lives in the United States Like a religion I'm shaking the faith I see your empty lives I'm on a mission with horizon eyes I see your empty lives I'm on a mission with horizon eyes Empty lives in the United States Like a religion I'm shaking the faith Shaking the faith! Shaking the faith! Shaking the faith! Shaking the faith!

Sir, No Sir! 02:52
Open your eyes desert sand is in your vision now You know the lies while you're off in a distant land How do you justify the crimes you're committing kid Now that you've seen what's like on this battlefield? Hey, what you say when the sun comes low Knocking at my front door Looking for a way out Now let it go with a solemn sense of purpose Can't hold on we're on our own again Hey! Hey! Somethings got to give Somethings got to give Your planet's burning war and torture's madness Bodies burning, whole countries torn to bits First you're cannonfodder now you're accomplices I can see the scars from your arms to your conscience Hey, what you say when the sun comes low Knocking at my front door Looking for a way out Now let it go with a solemn sense of purpose Can't hold on we're on our own again Hey! Hey! Somethings got to give Somethings got to give I love working for Uncle Sam Let's me know just who I am I love working for Uncle Sam Let's me know just who I am Sir, no sir Sir, no sir Sir, no sir Sir, no sir Hey! Hey! Somethings got to give Somethings got to give Hey! Hey! Somethings got to give No more hopelessness

I live in new york The new empire Where all these cats Want to be bossman vampires We've had enough Gonna lay it out real good Been in it to win it Steady pushing on through This is not my country It is not of me I'm from the future You wish you would see Start living Our time to soar Here's to the slaves To be slaves no more Light it on fire Outernational I've got a question What would happen If you went for truth And stopped believing in magic? Can you imagine If all the masses Let go of God and came back to this planet? Whether we're farmers or garment workers Peasants, kids on the block, or freedom searchers We're lurking in the depths of every mind Every ghetto, every lie, every person, every time The tide and the wind When The Ship Comes In Light it on fire Outernational Enemy combatant, that's me Enemey combatant, that's me Enemy combatant, that's me motherfucker, that's me, that's me Light it on fire Outernational That's me, that's me, that's me, that's me...
