I Against I Lyrics

Performed by Bad Brains

in the quest for the test to fulfill an achievement
everybody's only in it all for themselves
when the fact of the matter is they just don't care
to extend a helping hand to anyone else
so tell me why, did you have to lie
and try to make me all confused about the U.S.A.
when the fact of the matter is you just don't hear
to comprehend or understand a single word I say

I don't wanna have I go against I!
I don't wanna have I go against I!
well let me tell you now...

the same old story, no factual glory
I against I against I against I
and I say I don't like it
and I know I don't want it
I against I against I against I
almighty watching
almighty watching
I against I against I against I
and I say I don't like it
and I know I don't want it
I against I against I against I

I said who's gonna tell the youth about the drugs
about the drugs, mugs, bugs, and the police thugs
about the rotten stinkin' rackets and the fantasies
around the nation
around the nation
oh what you gonna do?
I tell you the truth is looking straight at you
oh baby baby what you gonna do?
I tell you the truth is looking straight at you

I got a brass continental with a 300 Z,
I got a color TV with a video too
I got a rest home in Jamaica with my fantasy for my family
around the nation

what you gonna do?
what you gonna do?
what you gonna do?
what you gonna do?

The traps of America and the inherent disconnect. | Reviewer: moxley | 11/27/09

I think that the song is about the inherent cognitive dissonance in America...The disconnect between what people think of as America and the reality of..well, the reality (aka the lies the media and government perpetuate, the American dream, all of that stuff - the stuff we all want to believe, but that isn't really true).

It's talking about how materialism is a trap, how nobody is out to help their fellow man, they are too caught up in the rat race and material distractions.....it's a beautiful, powerful, anthemic song.
