Class war, same as before

It's class war, same as before. The neoliberal consensus insists it doesn't exist, but I don't think so. And don't forget, the poorer I get the more socialist I get, so I'm not decided yet. And I like SuperSport too much to give up the crutch of privilege and entitlement that keeps me up above the people who talk to each other.

The people not anaesthetized by J.Lo cameltoe and how fat she look now she pregnant and did she use a surrogate and I'm talkin' shit but you know who I meant... And if there's anyone who doesn't maybe they weren't educated and trained for 20 years of their days to consider considerations of celebrity vacations and glam swag Facebook statuses and who Heyneke Meyer got at eight for Four Nations.


They put us to bed. Got us sleeping through double history. I'm rocking these cool sneakers coz I saw them in a magazine and I like to read magazines coz I see them on TV and I like to watch TV coz I saw it on the internet and I like to surf the internet coz I saw it on the internet and I like to surf the internet coz I saw it on the internet and I like to surf the internet coz I saw it on the internet...

They put us to bed, man! Fashion, sport, news, celebrity, all that stuff on DStv... It's like a lullabye. Like a ritalin remedy for your critical faculties. Entertainment, action... It's all just a distraction. From reality. To put us to sleep!

They got us sleeping through history. But Govan Mbeki said that history's on the side of the people. Now we just gotta decide... Is that us?

Coz it's class war. Same as before. The neoliberal consensus insists it doesn't exist. But I don't think so.
