lyrics

(The end is coming fast?) Nah the end is right here
The CEO pigs are just masked puppeteers
Victimize the worker into the soldier the con
Cause the arms dealers won from the blood of Iran
Middle class don’t have to worry about the poor?
Think again, the money’s in the corporate whore
Who then funds what we call politicians
Puppets for the harlots that’s their position see
This is capitalism for the top one minority
Screwing the majority protecting their authority
Feudalism in a different word
The bourgeois hold us all by the chord
(And then they) vote to benefit their dissipation
Sap our sensations for their own elation nation
With a dose of catalyzed manipulation that we all call hope
Till we drink till we drop the only way to cope

(America, a democracy?)
Maybe what both wings see
(America Land of the free?)
Not even back in 1783
(America land of choice?)
If you choose to use your own voice
(America, land of the free?)
Haha what a hypocrisy

Now here’s a broken system called college son
Enroll, get a job, and then you’re done
But wait! There’s a teeny tiny thing called debt
Something our country doesn’t see as a threat yet
37 K is what you gotta pay
Even with no job you still gotta pay
(But wealth and prosperity is where they’ll lead ya)
So said Columbus to natives aboard Santa Maria
But here’s the thing if you want a chance
You gotta give the school system a lapdance
In a trance to be someone you toil to be
But you don’t work hard, no you do something easy
You suck the cock of the man holding crore
Secure the odds to be something more
Achieve the life that you’re searching for
Just to be another bolt in the machine of war

t needs to end...
It needs to be...
A land full of liberty
The land of the free
But I can’t do it alone
No I can’t do it alone
Would you rise up with me
Or wouldja stay put in your homes?!

When protectors become judge,
The jury, and execution
It’s one big fuck you
To our very constitution
But I can’t do it alone
No I can’t do it alone
Come rise up with me
Do not postpone

The greed needs to change?
No the greed needs to end
It’s the only way for our country
To ever mend
But I can’t do it alone
No I can’t do it alone
Will you rise up with me
Or stay put in your homes?

But it’s hard to change something
that was built on that
When the poor man dies
The white collars get fat
But I can’t do it alone
No I can’t do it alone
Come rise up with me
And end this hypocrisy

The land of the free is afforded by the rich
The land of the free for the poor is a ditch
