Government Quotes

Why the government got to lie to get money?
What the federal reserve gotta take from me,
What should I be fighting for another country?

The only good policeman is a dead one,
The only good laws aren't enforced.

They killing over colors in L. A.
In El Salvador, it's numbers essay
For the E. T. A bombs are the best way

Mexicans kill trying to run the drug trade
Mumbai killings was random gun spray
Tell me your kids don't love the blood games.

Terrorists undertake an impossible mission: to change the political balance of power through violence, despite having no army. To achieve their aim, terrorists present the state with an impossible challenge of their own: to prove that it can protect all its citizens from political violence, anywhere, any time. The terrorists hope that when the state tries to fulfil this impossible mission, it will reshuffle the political cards, and hand them some unforeseen ace.
