Contraband
My name is Contraband
I am the outlaw in your land
I am the disease in your system
My presence is sheer danger,
My being is pure venom
Can't catch me 'cause you don't know who I am
All you know is my name, Contraband
I am freedom of thought
Two-sided view
You're afraid of me
'cause I'm an alternative to you
You whisper my name in schools
You destroy me in your churches
But I'll survive, as only I can
'cause I am Contraband
You try to lock me away
In secret government places
You don't know I've already escaped
Spreading my name among the masses
You teach your children about me
Not to accept if I offer them candy
But every kid's gotta play sometime
Come out and play with Contraband
You post pictures of me on the Internet
Trying to protect the public
What you don't know is that my claws have already sunk in
I'm not something you can forget
You warn them about me on MTV
Before Marilyn Manson and after Eminem
But I'm already out there, can't you see?
Look all around you, you see Contraband
All you see is corruption
Filthy lies and perversion
I spread the word of deciet
Bring control to its knees
You send your agents out to get me
I'm always two steps ahead
There's nothing you can do to stop the invasion
Of the enemy known as
Of the enemy you call Contraband
I'm what you're not supposed to know
What your T.V's not to show
What your families don't talk about over dinner
The more you try to kill me, the more I am the winner
In a land of lawlessness I am the only order
In a world of vengeance, I am the only tommorrow
I am what keeps you alive
You are what I need to survive
But of the two of us, only one will stand
You are the victim, and I am Contraband
Human beings have this irritating tendency of just...never getting enough.
