They want you to believe

The unbelievable

They say you should accept

The unacceptable

Forget your common sense

It isn't sensible

Good times for fools and dreamers



Watch 'em all deny

The undeniable

See how they refute

The unrefutable

They're ready to defend

The indefensible

High times for lawyer schemers



They say we must forgive

The forgivable

They want us to respect

The unrespectable

The pious and the hip

So hypocritical

High crimes and misdemeanors



Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop

Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop

Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop



See how they explain

The inexplicable

Watch 'em debate

The undebatable

Apparently a lie

Is never liable

Prime time for talk show screamers



They say we constitute

The Constitutional

With justice here for all

So justifiable

I'm tryin' not to laugh

But man it's laughable

High crimes and misdemeanors



Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop

Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop

Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop

Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop

Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop



And so

Today we find

They've changed their minds

They've switched their points of view



Oh what tangled webs they weave

When their beliefs ain't really

What they believe



They're trying to divide

The indivisible

Because they think we're fools

So foolable

I'm tryin' not to laugh

But man it's laughable

Boom times for Wall Street dreamers

They want you to believe

The unbelievable

They say we should accept

The unacceptable

The pious and the hip

So hypocritical

High crimes and misdemeanors



High crimes and misdemeanors

High crimes and misdemeanors



Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop

Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop

Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop
