Five lyrics and four interview lines. Wit, politics and justice lead the tags. The lyric lines come from five different songs: Industrial Revolution (on what platinum really means), Positive Balance, The Point of No Return, Bin Laden and The Poverty of Philosophy, and they are about conformity and refusing allegiance. The four interview lines, all from Trinity News in 2012, are about politics and facts: that only people with nothing to stand on fear facts, and a plain-spoken view of socialism.
The problem with always being a conformist is that when you try to change the system from within, it's not you who changes the system; it's the system that will eventually change you
The only people who are afraid of facts are those who don’t have a leg to stand on.

Universal truth is not measured in mass appeal
This is the last time that I kneel and pray to the sky
'Cause almost everything that I was ever told was a lie
I pledge no allеgiance, nigga, fuck the Presidеnt's speeches!
I'm baptized by America and covered in leeches
I love when people think I'm psychologically disturbed
'Cause it means I overloaded their neurological nerves
Socialism to me is the fire department, the post office, the police department. Imagine if these things were privatised?
