Slumdog's List


(Chorus)

If you give it all up...

There's no guarantee you'll get it back...

If you give it all up...

There's no guarantee they'll give it back...

(Repeat)


Oscar winner,
Worldwide hero,
Saint to sinner,
Brown Bobby DeNiro,

All for a game show,
All for love,
All for giving us a nice big hug,
All for giving us a nice big thug,
Who takes our shit,
Unless we give it up, slugs --

To the brain maintain,
Our reality,
Soon gotta beg for change,
No salary,

Soon gotta figure it out,
No calories in thinking,
Instead,
Of Kool-Aid drinking flattery,

How sweet it is?
The poor are happy,
Hollywood owns,
Our reality, sappy --

With a side, of torture,
Bored of the waterboard?
Electro-shock's next,
Gotta fall on your sword,

For love, a child prostitute,
Grown-up prostitute,
And, she's practically mute,

Jamal knows love, will conquor all,
Lathika's a prop, who takes a fall,

In our minds we think,
We see it all,
But the back of our minds,
Watch the future fall,

Still gotta dream,
What if you were meant to win?
What if you got?
All the answers you're meant?
To get the idea that you can't do shit,
New Age, New World Order trick,

Gotta soft-sell,
So they make hell fun,
It's a hell of a movie,
Figure out why it won,

It's hell in a movie,
"Run kids, run!"
Through the streets, and the slums,
Past the trash, and the bums,

Pass the cash, give it up,
Since love conquors all,
But love is blind,
Check the casting call,

Nerd makes good,
Model chick gotta suffer,
When life gets hard,
Guess the tough get tougher,

So what's the reward?
For a Hollywood fluffer?
More work for less work?
So gettin' jobs gettin' tougher?

What makes sense,
Makes sense,

Wrapped so tight,
In a package,
Make you cry,
For a night,

They savage,
And they want us to die,
That's right,
Lickin' shots of the master-plan,
On Oscar night...


(Chorus)

If you give it all up...

There's no guarantee you'll get it back...

If you give it all up...

There's no guarantee they'll give it back...

(Repeat)


Feel good film,
Feels good yet?
Seen it three times I bet,

See it in your mind, I get,
What you gotta get,

Ready, set,
Go with the flow,
They set,

Low-flow cans, I get --
What they wanna get,
Everything we got,
Gotta a lot still, yet --

We can't say shit,
'Bout what the kids get,
'Cause they get what they can,
That's the way it is, step --

Into the world of the slums
Babies beggin' for crumbs,
Feels good? Feels bad?
Feel it's normal for some?

See how normal is dumb?
Shadows playin' in a cave?
So we don't see the slaves?
So we don't see the graves?

So we don't see the top,
Of the food chain,
Messin' with our food,
Messin' with our brain,

Messin' with our minds,
Just part of the game,
So we cheer for the poor,
Like they winnin' a game,

Predictive programming,
For when the time came,
To get us to give back,
All that we claim,

Raised to believe,
That anyone can make it,
So we ignore,
Who wanna take it,

As we settle for less,
We still wanna make it,
Never try to see,
Who try to fake it,

Good guys, bad guys,
Who's gonna win?
A few of us?
A lot of them?

Slumdog fantasy,
Some win, some lose,
That's just the way it is,
We don't get to choose,

Can't just get mad,
Hearin' bad news,
'Cause just getting mad,
Don't mean we can choose,

Just means you can lose,
But one day you might win,
Going through the slums,
Eatin' offa trash-bins,

Dreamin' of a better day,
'Cause of how you's raised,
By the schools and the books,
And the films that we praise,

We all gotta suffer,
Many ways, many days,
Or we gotta get tougher,
'Cause we livin' in a maze,

And amazed by the stars,
'Cause they shine so bright,
That's why they're called stars,
See 'em dance every night,

So we think they're alright,
So we think we're alright,
If not, we'll be soon,
That's Hollywood, rite?

Of A Passage to India,
Where we can all see,
300 million middle-class,
800 mill'in poverty,

Don't get mad,
'Cause I'm rude, saying it,
Or I'll get mad, that you're not,
'Cause you're playing it,

Safe,
We ain't safe no more,
See the love story, set,
In the middle of a war,

Even Slumdogs can win,
Guess that's for sure,
But should we really even have?
Slumdogs anymore?


(Chorus)

If you give it all up...

There's no guarantee you'll get it back...

If you give it all up...

There's no guarantee they'll give it back...

(Repeat)
