Songtexte

A system designed that perpetrates failure
In order for winners a percentage must lose
We can afford a few bad apples just so long as we blame it on drug use and booze
Society must dig to the root of the problem
Separation—again rearing its ugly head
Repression—the poor are getting the picture while brilliant minds are raped and left for dead
A redistribution of economic income ultimately further benefits the elite while we work and slave here like prisoners
Forever beneath your economic American dream
“Work or die" are words to live by
Slave labor in the land of opportunity
Homeless or jobless?
Then they're words to die by
It's a crime to receive something for nothing
So for now society cries
But they continue to feed us lies and for now I will abide just waiting in these endless lines
My home is death-row, a land you choose to ignore where suppression drags my shadow back down
Products of your system on display on the street
You can see I'm down (from your rolled up car window) but do you count me out?
My home is death-row where the numbered curbs bleed
Suppression dragging my shadow back down
Someday we’ll organize—revolutionize and your capitalist New Right system will be left for dead
