Eminem's MOSH : "No more blood for oil, we got our own battles to fight on our own soil"
by Liza Sabater
Via Boing Boing: Eminem's anti-Bush anthem leaked online, DJ Stein, A Sample From Eminem's "Mosh" | The Regular, but most importantly, the German site Hiphop.de - News - 2004-10-21 Um Eminem bleibt es turbulent; who have the whole song available for downloading.
If you cannot download the song from them, please let me know :) The lyrics to the song follow.
Enimem - Mosh
I pledge allegiance ot the flag of the United States of America,
And to the Republic for which it stands,
One nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
People - it feels so good to be back!
Scrutinize every word
Memorize every line I speak it once,
Refuel, re-energize, and rewind
I give sight to the blind
My insight through the mind
I exercise my right to express when
I feel it's time
It's just all in your mind, what you interpret it as I say to fight, you take it as "I'mma whip someone's ass"
And if you don't understand, don't even bother to ask
A father who has grown up with a fatherless past
Who has grown up now to Rap
Phenomenon that has Four released shows, no difficulty multitaskin'
And juggling both, perhaps, mastered his craft, slash/
Entrepreneur, who's held on to a few more rat bags
Who's had a few obstacles thrown the last half
Of his career, typical manure, movin' past that
Mr. Kiss-His-Ass cracked, he's a class act
Brother pain man, yeah, he just snatched back
Come along, follow me, as I lead through the darkness
As I provide just enough spark that we need
To proceed, carry on, give me hope, give me strength
Come with me and I won't steer you wrong
Put your faith and your trust as I guide us through the fog
To the light at the end of the tunnel, we gon' fight
We gon' charge, we gon' stomp, we gon' march through the swamp
We gon' mosh through the marsh, take us right through the doors, come on
All the people on top, on the side and the middle
Come together, let's all fall and storm just a little
Just let it gradually build from the front to the back
All you can see is a sea of people, some white and some black
Don't matter what color - all that matters, we're gathered together
To celebrate for the same cause, no matter the weather
If it rains, let it rain - yeah, the wetter the better!
They ain't gon' stop us, they can't
We're stronger now more than ever
They tell us no, we say yeah
They tell us stop, we say go
Rebel with a rebel yell
Raise hell, we gon' let 'em know
Stomp, push off, mush - fuck Bush
Until they bring our troops home, come on, just -
Come along, follow me, as I lead through the darkness
As I provide just enough spark that we need
To proceed, carry on, give me hope, give me strength
Come with me and I won't steer you wrong
Put your faith and your trust as I guide us through the fog
To the light at the end of the tunnel, we gon' fight
We gon' charge, we gon' stomp, we gon' march through the swamp
We gon' mosh through the marsh, take us right through the doors, come on Imagine it pourin', swayin' down on us
Mosh pits outside are overlogged, this
Someone's tryin' to tell us somethin'
Maybe this is God just sayin' we're responsible
For this monster, this coward, that we invent power
This is bin Laden - look at his head noddin' -
How could we allow somethin' like this without pumpin' our fist, now
This is our final hour
Let me be the voice, and your strength, and your choice
Let me simplify the rhyme just to amplify the noise
Try to amplify it, times it, and multiply it
By sixteen million people, all equal at this high pitch
Maybe we can reach Al Qaeda through my speech
Let the president answer our anarchy
Strap him with an AK-47, let him go fight his own war
Let him impress daddy that way
No more blood for oil, we got our own battles to fight on our own soil
No more psychological warfare to trick us to thinkin' that we ain't loyal
If we don't serve our own country - we're patronizing our heroes
Look in his eyes, it's all lies
The stars and stripes, they've been swiped, washed out, and wiped
And replaced with his own face - mosh now or die
If I get snagged tonight, you'll know why - 'cause I told you to fight
Come along, follow me, as I lead through the darkness
As I provide just enough spark that we need
To proceed, carry on, give me hope, give me strength
Come with me and I won't steer you wrong
Put your faith and your trust as I guide us through the fog
To the light at the end of the tunnel, we gon' fight
We gon' charge, we gon' stomp, we gon' march through the swamp
We gon' mosh through the marsh, take us right through the doors, come on
And as we proceed to mosh through this desert storm
In these closing statements, if they should argue, let us beg to differ
As we set aside our differences, and assemble our own army
To disarm this weapon of mass destruction that we call our president for the present
And mosh for the future of our next generation
To speak and be heard - Mr. President - Mr. Senator!
=============
George W. Bush, September, 2001: "If Osama bin Laden is responsible for these attacks, he will be brought to justice, whatever the obstacles."
George W. Bush, March 13th, 2002, when asked about Osama bin Laden's location: "I just don't spend that much time on him. I don't really think about him very much. I truly am not that concerned about him."
If you're age 18 or over, please consider these two statements when you go to the polls on November 2nd. America thanks you.

What saddens me about this is the timing. I mean, two years ago thousands of people were chanting "No blood for Oil".
That's why I make the reference to Mortensen. He was one of the first in "Hollywood" to come out and say it and he got lots of crap for it. I don't want to say "too" but it definitely feels late.
Still, if Eminem does have an impact on the young'uns, then more power to him. We really have to get the 18-25 to the voting booths.

eminem is the shit. the video is one of the coolest regardless of the topic. Bush took us to war without any plans about how we are going to get out. everyone know that it wasn't going to last more than a few weeks, so why didn't they have a plan about what to do after the actual war? this guys needs to be out of the office. go kerry.

People,
I have been listening to what Eminem has had to say for years. No matter what the subjest is he always knows just how to say it. Some people do not agree with him, some dislike him. Why? I will tell you. When he has something on his mind he just comes out and says it no sugar coating, no bull, he says it how it will be heard and understood by everyone. I fully agree with his point of view on Bush. The video is great, as if to expect anything less. The only thing is that as much as I do not believe Bush should be in office, I think Kerry will end up making an even bigger mess. Which is why, with no better choice I say we leave bush to clean up his own mess. Do not give Kerry the power to make an even bigger one. Eminem thank you for having the balls to say what you fell and not caring someone might think negatively about it. Stay true to who you are!

Well, the song sounds good and all, and I have been a fan of Eminem's for a very very long time. My only issue is that everyone says that Bush lied. Bush didn't lie, Brittish French and Russian intelegence said the same thing ours did. Saddam had WMD's. Now it turns out that all these countries where wrong, and why do you ask? Because Saddam had to make it look like he had WMD's to protect himself from his other mortal enemy Iran. Now the same report that came out recently saying there where now WMD's also said that Russia, Germany, France and the UN where being bribed through the oil for food program to say that war was not necessary to keep Saddam safe and there pockets fat. Funny how these are the same countries John Kerry says we should make sure are on our side before going to war. So if John Kerry would have been in office in march of 03 then there would have been no war international sactions would be lifted since weapons inspectors did not find WMD's and Saddam would have all the freedom to make all the weapons he wants. I really wish people would search for truth instead of just believing what you hear. You only hear half the story and you have to find the rest. The youth of america is being brainwashed by biased media to believe that war is never the answer, tell the millions of Jews killed in WWII war is never justified. In WWII we went to war with germany.....Germany never attacked us Japan did. What if we would have left hitler in power becase he had no direct ties with Pearl Harbor. PLEASE YOUTH, and I am 24 years old, learn the facts and study history. If this is a war for oil why are we not exporting from Iraq to lower fuel cost. It just doesn't make sence. I would rather have a commander in chief that takes the intelegence weather wrong or right and acts quickly to make sure we are as safe as we can be and not depending on currupt governments to come to our side. VOTE BUSH!!!!!
