Zack Posting - Bullet in your Head

On this song, "Bullet in Your Head" off their self-titled album, Zack is talking about complacency that we live in while the government does what it wants. He paints a very impressive picture of how entertainment has helped to put our minds to sleep.

I give a shout out to the living dead

And mutha fuckas lost their minds


Just victims of the in-house drive-by
They say jump, you say how high
Just victims of the in-house drive-by
They say jump, you say how high
