position of strength - heiruspecs lyrics

[intro]
at school the teacher always stands up, we all sit down
positions of strength, listen at length
see the desire for change of placement
write fight poems in the basement
there’s no place like home, there’s no place like home
there’s no place like anywhere else, let me roam
if i find myself between a hard place and a rock
that rock better move, it’ll have to mace me to stop

[verse 1]
i walk my block like a decorated general
talk my talk like i have big genitals
is there any other way for me to do my thing?
yes, but any other way seems to make stress
examine your position, see where you stand (stand)
most want power and never take a hand
land worth money, money worth work
work’s worth blood, sweat, and tears on your shirt
pursue it like a policeman chasing a cop k!ller
do it all together and make life iller
aspirin’ to politics, lie and serve
let the bipartisan car roll in and strike a nerve
it’s funding, finding ways of unbinding
power, money, headaches, and resources
is people, people in unfortunate places
want to lash out but don’t know where the f-cking recourse is
in this system, our system, or any other system
there’s leaders, followers, and victims
shift them all around like some pieces from a game
it all stays the same
positions of strength

[chorus x2]
the actor on the stage, the teacher at the desk
celebrity, paparazzi, stalker, b-m
the soldier with the gun, the robber with the mask
leader, follower

[verse 2]
go ahead and join the army, what a selfless act
put yourself at the bottom of the chain like that
wait, selfish? wanna climb the chain of command?
what’s it matter? at the top, you will understand
protect the peace, protect my piece
i’ve been working on defying my leash
at least you’re free to join up; i’m free to go out and play
we’re both free to work our -sses off any day
so you worked against the normal, boring
find alternative ventures and start your exploring
morals imposed, don’t let them stop you
from doing what you gotta do to get new clothes
and al capone thought like that, it worked for a while
enjoyed his 15 minutes with a gun and a smile
shoulda been a c-ke but times were too wild
power’s pretty dope, any means anyhow
there’s always the small ones, leads to road rage
mad ’cause my cage is uglier than your cage
pave the way for balance and equality
now everybody else, follow me
positions of strength

[chorus x2]
the actor on the stage, the teacher at the desk
celebrity, paparazzi, stalker, b-m
the soldier with the gun, the robber with the mask
leader, follower

[verse 3]
sometimes it’s clear, like a pimp to a wh-r-
sometimes it’s effect, don’t know the cause anymore
big fist, little fist, red fish, blue
power and resentment, nothing’s really new
o’er the land of the free and the home of the slaves
many brave souls have changes the old ways
there’s still pride in my step, they’re hypin’ my rep
which is all you’ve really got these days (these days)
hustler, make your money; mayor, run your town
winners, make your speech and don’t ever fall off (down)
losers, make your peace, don’t ever get clowned
the teacher always stands in a position of strength

[chorus x4]
the actor on the stage, the teacher at the desk
celebrity, paparazzi, stalker, b-m
the soldier with the gun, the robber with the mask
leader, follower
