"FIND YOU
WEARING THE BOOT
OF TAKING PEOPLE'S BUSINESS ON YOUR HEAD,YEAH
SO MIGHT AS WELL YOU BE DEAD" - This means the revolt that he feels for the injustice.wearing the boot means the worker class, and for him is better to die than to be ruled by the babylon (business people).

"LET THE DEAD BURY THE DEAD NOW
AND WHO IS TO BE FED, BE FED
I AIN'T GOT NO TIME TO WASTE ON YOU
I'M A LIVIN MAN, I GOT WORK TO DO

THIS MAN AND THAT MAN
YES THEY ARE THE SAME MAN
YOU TAUGHT US THIS JUST AS WELL
THAT THE RICH MAN HEAVEN IS THE POOR MAN'S HELL" - again the "revolution man" on his top lyric... a futurist vision... times are changing... racism not to the color of the skin but to the economic status. "dont judge a man by the way he looks judge it by his ways..." - JACOB MILLER
