People are not afraid to kick you around like a soccer ball if they see it fit These people will stop at nothing to make you feel like nothing Like the most trifling triviality to ever have existed We live in a society Reside under powers that be They preside over you and me By design we're never quite free And since you have no right to leave You should get down on your knees And use your mouth, tongue and cheeks To please the powers that be Man, you know much we've sank And that the economy's tanked When you must break the bank Just to fill up the tank Now I'm at the pump, like "gee thanks" Wow, being alive fucking stanks I hope that homeless guy across the street stabs me with a shank Cause living costs too much money Man this shit's not even funny At least nobody is laughing Except perhaps Jimmy Fallon Seven dollars a gallon is far outside of my balance And long gone are the days you could cop a house for ten thousand We're all slaves to the system in this cruel place we inhabit It's so ingrained in our thinking we can't break out of these habits We're not getting paid worth a damn while we're out here busting our asses We're getting played like some instruments, no mayonnaise or horseradish (And that's word to Patrick) We live in a society Reside under powers that be They preside over you and me By design we're never quite free And since you have no right to leave You should get down on your knees And use your mouth, tongue and cheeks To please the powers that be There's an exhibition of atrocities going on at all times That I almost find it astonishing we're going on with our lives My debit card got declined On a downward spiral decline It's no surprise these junkies shoot up and get high on white lines As a matter of fact I don't know why I bother writing these lines My rhymes prolly won't do shit but make me feel kind of fine Cause we're disposable they buy a dozen of us a dime And I haven't done my time until the day I finally die Cause in this status quo It's all about status, ho And while some indulge in extravagance The vast bulk of the masses are stuck battling one another in traffic It's as if every last thing we have is a product of trafficking Swear we're not far from fascism The classism is rampant in this backwards trash hole we live in Where assholes are winning Where sad souls get devoured whole by a black hole of indifference Where rats are all in it to back their own interests Where activism feels inadequate no matter the passion within it Cause tragic happenings pass without having much of a difference So to impact the establishment I'm exacting my vengeance I'd love to watch this shit unravel, bitch I'm not fucking with it Why can't we just be compassionate just for one fucking minute? We live in a society Reside under powers that be They preside over you and me By design we're never quite free And since you have no right to leave You should get down on your knees And use your mouth, tongue and cheeks To please the powers that be And somewhere down the road we lost control Better yet we chose to let it go I won't take shit from oppressors better let em know But I've got nowhere else to go Can't do this, don't do that Gotta do this and you have to do that Can't say shit or the whip might crack Can't have shit in this world it's wack Can't stay here Wait, don't go there Where's the door? Well it's not there Don't care for this fucked up state of affairs? Boohoo, suck it up, life ain't fair And while you're going downstairs on the man upstairs Why don't you lick his pubic hair? Yeah, that's it, right there, that's it, they just don't care (And you can't say no) We live in a society Reside under powers that be They preside over you and me By design we're never quite free (To the fellatio) And since you have no right to leave You should get down on your knees And use your mouth, tongue and cheeks To please the powers that be (That's just the way it goes) We live in a society Reside under powers that be They preside over you and me By design we're never quite free (Better swallow it all) And since you have no right to leave You must get on your hands and knees Then spread apart your butt cheeks And get fucked by the powers that be How are we to defend ourselves against such blows?
