"The Gods Of Science" by The Coup from the new album 'Sorry To Bother You.' http://www.anti.com/store

Lyrics:

Gods Of Science have spoken:

"Grab the wire and choke them"

Hypnotic

The noose is slip-knotted

in a fourth-quarter audit

and pumped through the carotid

Many bought it

Got it in patch, pill, or tonic

Get your credit card

Slot it

And sign it on the dotted

Billionaires have squatted

On the Magna Cum Lauded

Hollered "Take my wallet-

make the people robotic,

catatonic, or harmonic

with what they've been alotted"

And methodically they plotted

Against those who fought it

Whole cities are haunted

Cuz some money bag nodded

And dropped the thought product

Of a Harvard grad upon it

Dollars turn the table-

Boardroom and periodic

Listen to the sonics

Coming through your electronics

You can catalogue it as melodic or atomic

Howsenever, when I bomb it

molecules turn into solids

Some pray to the Christ

Look to Buddha or Mohammed

Some pray to the crack of a rich man's pocket

The biggest advance was plumbing to the projects

Now the scientific process got hijacked for profits

It flows in the direction that a Silver Spoon prodded

We'll get science for the people

When we run the economics

The Gods Of Science

I do not understand why the Coup is not the most relevant hip hop band in America. I really don't.
