Lyrics

Get grades, toe the line
Keep your behind above the water in the meantime
Join the corporate pyramid
I couldn't blame you if you did
Until you sell out your brother while your sister falls
Playin' daddy, doin' the company crawl
You don't deserve your daughter's kiss
It's sad, that's how it is
Well, uptown there's been more than an oil spill
Another woman beaten, raped, blood spilled
Male hate, the paper's couldn't wait
Racism, sell this
Well, there's no excusin' in what I'm sayin'
It's just that there's a million colours prayin'
For real justice
Yeah, that's how it really is
Just get born, keep on keepin' on
Defend yourself against the worries, try and have fun
Party on until your number's picked
But be aware because the fight is fixed
It was them but it could be you next
Paranoia saves lives, so if you want to exist
Get your head around this...
That's how it really is
Yeah, that's how it is, that's how it is
That's how it is, that's how it is
That's how it is, that's how it is
That's how it is, that's how it is
That's how it is, that's how it is
That's how it is, that's how it is
That's how it is, that's how it is
That's how it is, that's how it is
That's how it is, that's how it is
That's how it is, that's how it is
That's how it is, that's how it is
It's how it really is, that's how it is
That's how it is, that's how it is
That's how it is, that's how it is
That's how it is, that's how it is
