CASH, CULTURE AND VIOLENCE
Rancid


Yeah! He says is power is what's happenin
Well to be sure to be respected nothin stoppin him
And to move up for him about crushin them
And I kick it plain and simple it's a sin man
Leave it to the corner to detect this
And be sure the USA to wreck this
You drives a trick down trick down trick down Lexus
And he looks at the city, says "I can take this"
Take this!

Oh! Well he's tryin to acquire what no one needs
And he hit so fuckin high that your nose bleeds
He watches you break another aspect
You pop the nose that is correct
He kick the hell on a closin in
The victim family go condemn him
He says: "no, don't trust them", and "yeah, I'll show them"

It's the sword, the jewel, imagination
Cash, culture and violence
Violence, wealth, and knowledge
Cash, culture and violence
And you're ridin and you're ridin on a way of expansion
Cash, culture and violence
It's the sword, the jewel, imagination
Cash, culture and violence!

Poisoned like a rat who drank some strychnine gin
I'm only mad cuz i have been as low as you have been
Bureaucratic military federation
Limited only to rise again
Oh, the delicate captain hurt the rumble
And the legion they'll intimate what they come on
Consequently nothin but a concrete jungle
Lord, I wonder...

It's the sword, the jewel, imagination
Cash, culture and violence
Violence, wealth, and knowledge
Cash, culture and violence
And you're ridin and you're ridin on a way of expansion
Cash, culture and violence
It's the sword, the jewel, imagination
Cash, culture and violence!

Legal standin, can't be found
He's the one they call shake down
Psychosomatic come down
Oh you stop cold from your nervous breakdown

It's the sword, the jewel, imagination
Cash, culture and violence
Violence, wealth, and knowledge
Cash, culture and violence
And you're ridin and you're ridin on a way of expansion
Cash, culture and violence
It's the sword, the jewel, imagination
Cash, culture and violence!

Cash!
Culture!
And violence!
