Cringe? His lyrics woke me up as a teen, to the whole worldwide drug trade and its ties with politics.

In a third-world fascist state, lock the nation With 90% of the wealth in 10% of the population The Central Intelligence Agency takes weight faithfully The finest type of China white and cocaine you'll see Honey I'm home, nevermind why our bank account's suddenly grown It's funny, we're so out of this debt from this money we owe Woulda ya mind if I told you I had two governments overthrown To keep our son enrolled in a private school, and to keep ya tummy swollen C'mon, our fuckin' home was built on the foundation of bloody throats The hungry stolen of they souls, of course this country's runnin' coke I took a stunted oath to hush the one's who know But CIA conducts the flow of these young hustlers who lust for dough

“”Cringe””??

I don't get your comment. All of these things are true: Confessions of an Economic Hitman by John Perkins talks about how Halliburton with aid from CIA used to lock in contracts with developing countries that ultimately skewed their power balance into the hands of a very few, who ran brutal regimes often peddling in the drug business, which with much help form the agency exacerbated the crack epidemic in the 80s.
