No posting USSR anthem, too obvious.

Most of 9 to 5ers Anthem by Aesop Rockis just certified anti-work banger lines.

    Poison Trees and Never Learn by The Devil Makes Three.

    I can't really pick out any specific lyrics because both are very much greater than the sum of their parts.

    Poison Trees:

    The roots of the matter run miles deep This is the era of eternal sleep Please everybody now but please be advised Nothing's going away just cuz' you're closing your eyes

    This is the harvest of some rotten seeds This surely isn't any mystery This is the fruit of-a the poison trees You better ask yourself what you believe

    I see a storm it is coming down And I can feel my bones creak I know you can feel it too But you just to scared Are you just to scared to speak?

    The wire is taped now and crackling hot Words from a burning screen will make your stomach knot Fear the hopeless and lock the door Sweet safety, praise the lord

    The loud voices got the signals locked All the past heroes now outlined in chalk Well that'll teach the world to not walk the walk Show your face out in the light and hear the pistols pop

    Well.. this is the harvest of some rotten seeds This surely isn't any mystery This is the fruit of-a the poison trees You better ask yourself what you believe

    I see a storm it is coming down And I can feel it in my bones I know you can feel it too But you think that you're You think that you're all alone

    Old tactics leaves you face down on the bricks This new dog knows some terrible tricks Turn the cameras off and it doesn't exist Thats a lesson well learned back in 1966

    This is the harvest of some rotten seeds This surely isn't any mystery This is the fruit of the poison trees You better ask yourself what you believe

    I see a storm it is coming down And I can feel my bones creak I know you can feel it too But you just to scared Are you just to scared to...

    A storm it is coming down And I can feel it in my bones I know you can feel it too But you just think that you're You think that you're all alone

    Never Learn:

    Let all them hounds off of their leashes, Gave all that money to the rich, They're gonna hand you down now that short handed shovel and direct you directly to the ditch.

    Now just hear them talkin tongues child, Though you know not what they mean, Ain't gonna make no kind of difference, Just keep your eyes focused on the screen.

    Yes I guess I see, They ain't doin nothin here but leechin off of you and me, well Yes I guess I know, There ain't no place left on this earth that I can call my own, and Yes I hope I see The day we all wake up and stop them ships upon the sea, well Hallelujah, Let it all just burn, Cause they ain't the type for listenin and they sure ain't never gonna learn.

    You can watch them as they circle, Like them vultures in the sky, Waitin now just so patiently for every breathin soul to die. Yes they feed off of your blood child, As it flows out of your veins, Ain't about what you have lost now, Only what they have gained.

    Yes I guess I see, They ain't doin nothin here but livin' off of you and me, well Yes I guess I know, There ain't no place left on this earth that I can call my own, and Yes I hope I see The day we all wake up and stop them ships upon the sea, well Hallelujah, Let it all just burn, Cause they ain't the type for listenin and they sure ain't never gonna learn.

    You can feel them as they watch you, A thousand eyes now filled with pain, I'll just sit back and relax now, As your heart disconnects from your brain.

    Yes I guess I see, They ain't doin nothin here but livin' off of you and me, well Yes I guess I know, There ain't no place left on this earth that you can call your own, and Yes I hope I see The day we all wake up and get up off our bended knees, well Hallelujah, Let it all just burn, Cause they ain't the type for listenin and they sure ain't never gonna learn.
