There's a lot of injustice in the world and it's what I sing about in my music and what I try to confront in my life as an activist.

My music is made for the people who are willing to stand up to change this world themselves.

Poverty is curable, but it’s just not done, because it's not profitable. And that is the kind of violence that's perpetuated on humanity.

In America, we have freedom of choice. But some are free to choose between Lamborghini and Rolls Royce while others are free to choose which dumpster they're going to have their meal out of next. Some are free to choose which, you know, homes and farms to foreclosed on, while others choose which bridge they're going to sleep under tonight.

Bad presidents make for great music, and I'm gonna do my best to provide it.

If you want to change the world right now, it’s not so much a secret how you do it. You put the secrets of a criminal government on the Internet.
