Whip$ and Chain$ - Flobots. From their new album Survival Story. I do not own the rights to this song. All rights belong to the Flobots, Universal Republic Studios, and all other respective owners.

Lyrics:

Strange fruit I roll up in my ford taurus

Emissions I wont pass like Gandalf at Moria

Way out of order

Sould be pulled over

Pulled out garage and lost side view mirror

My credit card final fantasy breaks the limit

I just paid just brakes to break my lemon

didn't make enough juice for my pessimism

So I'm not for given 'till my debts forgiven

So I skim off the tops

of convertible roofs

Thinking spanish

Green sounds like the truth

Got it on lock jaw to the tip o' the tooth

Way I floss no dental insurance to boot

But my chain hangs low, I could double dutch

Keep my eyes to the floor so don't stumble much

I shine bright at night from all the carrots

Cause it's not who you are but who you're wearing

Stay sportin lashes from the old masses

Clasps on the neck says

"Property of the masses"

And what's under the chassis

The block is gentrified while the governor's classic

Don't know who the boss is do I hold the power

Or am I powered like horses

Whip is blowin' out my back like I'm exhausted

Pipes blowin' more fire than the pentecost

Huh. Who killed Jimmy?

Why and what's the reason for?

Who starts homicidal wars?

Rich man poor man either or?

Who shows us what we need?

Who's got the bread for the luxuries?

Who told us that it's ingrained?

We who hold these whips and chains

When there's no lock

(no lock)

who needs a key?

(no key)

When did we stop

(when did we stop)

being free?

(be free)

I see things vis a vis a sea change

Full fathom five people became remains deep beneath chains

We pay into easing these pains

'Cus the history is difficult

Wish the results could be flipped like reciprocals

Allow me to renumerate aloud the typical rude awakenings of the drowsy consumer base

Bass boom will make the crowd sing and syncronize with the views that they're espousing

Syncopate to the stupid take a thousand

Sinning like every excuse they make is valid

Simon Williams I Wonder Man

Just how did our oil get under their sand?

And how did our homes get onto their land?

And how did our foes get guns in their hands?

Conflict diamonds

Child labor tennis shoes

Genocide energy

Gentrified gin and juice

Slave trade banks

Rape-based internet movies

What's a straight-laced simple human to do

With a strange fate twist and fame

Except talk s**t and name off a list of gains

But do you realize I'd find my lips in flames

If I ever took pride in these whips and chains

Who killed Jimmy...?

Why and what's the reason for?

Who starts homicidal wars?

Rich man poor man either or?

Who shows us what we need?

Who's got the bread for the luxuries?

Who told us that it's ingrained?

We who hold these whips and chains

Who holds these

Who holds these

Who holds these traps and circuses

We want it

They own it

So we're going half-berserk for it

Well let's take it

Let's take it

Let's take it back before cassettes

Pepsi cans and packs of percocet

1910 all the factory workers said

Yes we can demand a weekend

If we can get the man to weaken

So if you're ready than send a beacon

To be continued and to begin

We can't be content to steep in the anaesthesia

Invisible hands of phantoms depend on

Ya fantasies have been poisoned

But we've got the panacea!

Who killed Jimmy...?

Why and what's the reason for?

Who starts homicidal wars?

Rich man poor man either or?

Who shows us what we need?

Who's got the bread for the luxuries?

Who told us that it's ingrained?

We who hold these whips and chains

Who killed Jimmy...?

Why and what's the reason for?

Who starts homicidal wars?

Rich man poor man either or?

Who shows us what we need?

Who's got the bread for the luxuries?

Who told us that it's ingrained?

We who hold these whips and chains

Lyrics correction: "Who killed Jdimytai Damour?" Google him, he was a Wal-Mart employee trampled to death on Black Friday 2008 by a crowd worked up by a corporation who didn't care enough to enact proper security and safety measures.

I don't think the Flobots are nearly as well known as they deserve.

Just a few things: First, saying the Flobots are against government is a pretty big statement. You're claiming that they're anarchist which, in the lyrics of some of their other songs, is completely false. Second, I'm not censoring the song, just the written lyrics. You can still clearly hear them saying any curse words that they do. Third, using words and phrases like "lick my asshole," and "jackass" does take away from the credibility of you and your argument.

Someone uploading a censored song and government censorship are two totally different things. Just watch another version, or buy the song.

god you are stupid.flobots stands against the government.including things like censorship and shit.so censoring their songs is basically going against what they're for.get the point yet?jackass.

If someone is unintelligent, they tend to be much less credible. I can't see how censoring a song is equal to a face slap.

V Met

oh,because i tell you to lick my asshole all my intelligence and credibility is gone?being immature has nothing to do with intelligence.censoring a flobots song is like slapping them in the fucking face.
