Geb Zurburg - Spokes in Wheels

Gonna tell you something
You may not believe
Blue and black were set up
Historical squeeze
Inner city quicksand
Culture of poverty
Apartheid politics
De facto greed
Bleeding black and blue
Very few have a clue
Laws of shame and media frames
Distorting our view
Soldiers that protect our streets
Must enforce the law
When that law is shameless
It's the long arm of the claw
Historically it changes
Attitudes adapt
But the world doesn't wait for
The compassionate sap
Bleeding black and blue
Very few have a clue
Laws of shame and media frames
Distorting our view
There is not one truth
An easy way to recoup
We only learn the stories
In an echo chamber loop
Of pain
And rarely of harmony
We play
The roll of spokes in wheels
Deep within the ghettos
Poverty still reigns
Blue must keep it safely
Black must do the same
Blue and black still listen
Some are one in the same
The powerful are scattered
Levers they maintain
Individuals falter
Deplete the blue and black
Communities get altered
Beasts plan their attack
Bleeding black and blue
Very few have a clue
Laws of shame and media frames
Distorting our view
There is not one truth
An easy way to recoup
We only learn the stories
In an echo chamber loop
Of pain
And rarely of harmony
We play
The roll of spokes in wheels
Spokes in wheels
There is not one truth
An easy way to recoup
We only learn the stories
In an echo chamber loop
Of pain
And rarely of harmony
We play
The role of spokes in wheels
Spokes in wheels
