The Coup – “The Gods Of Science” (Full Album Stream)
“The Gods Of Science” by The Coup from the new album ‘Sorry To Bother You.’ http://www.anti.com/store
Lyrics:
Gods Of Science have spoken:
“Grab the wire and choke them”
Hypnotic
The noose is slip-knotted
in a fourth-quarter audit
and pumped through the carotid
Many bought it
Got it in patch, pill, or tonic
Get your credit card
Slot it
And sign it on the dotted
Billionaires have squatted
On the Magna Cum Lauded
Hollered “Take my wallet-
make the people robotic,
catatonic, or harmonic
with what they’ve been alotted”
And methodically they plotted
Against those who fought it
Whole cities are haunted
Cuz some money bag nodded
And dropped the thought product
Of a Harvard grad upon it
Dollars turn the table-
Boardroom and periodic
Listen to the sonics
Coming through your electronics
You can catalogue it as melodic or atomic
Howsenever, when I bomb it
molecules turn into solids
Some pray to the Christ
Look to Buddha or Mohammed
Some pray to the crack of a rich man’s pocket
The biggest advance was plumbing to the projects
Now the scientific process got hijacked for profits
It flows in the direction that a Silver Spoon prodded
We’ll get science for the people
When we run the economics
The Gods Of Science

Yesterday Guaido declared the last phase of "Operation Freedom": to remove Venezuela's socialist government from power, and put in place a new regime loyal to Washington DC, to further project US terror around the globe. Today is the second day in which the brave Chavistas and their allies thwarted imperialist attack
Kudos to my comrades Solidarity and love from CO, USA
Classic & underappreciated. One love.
Always had great albums! Beginning to end! No need to skip tracks! Up tempo hip hop with a message! Makes ya wanna party and break shit!
We'll get science for the people when we run the economics.
I'm so glad I decided to research the gods today. I would've never found these guys otherwise

@CalypsoCatnip They're unknown because they ARE the most relevant.
mind bending. genre bending. these guys are epic. viva la revolution!
that intro so reminds me of alice in chains, FUCKING SICK!!!! :p
I do not understand why the Coup is not the most relevant hip hop band in America. I really don't.

Can't wait to see them in Seattle this month at the crocodile, good stuff.
