Setting up alarms empty bed I'm getting dressed Near the end another month and all these bills have got me pressed I don't know if we can make it I might put them on my credit Imma have to pay em off a different time not on my debit Where'd the money go that's the biggest mystery They need another stimulus they've got a couple kids to feed From the way that things are looking we might take a second mortgage out They've been advocating for the things they're uninformed about What's a ballot making no change I swear the system's callous Throwing up arms in each three branches claim it's for the check and balance It don't matter which wing that you're part of they're on the same bird Onto the steps of the capitol making a scene and making our names heard I need a doctor writing a slip I need my antidepressants Gone in a second right when that virus hit yeah that was all so unexpected Blink of an eye when a quarter million fell off the face of the fucking earth Down with the government we've had our sufferance they don't know what it's like to work Those who have lost raise your fists say "aye" Those who were wronged but resist stand high No rules for the suits legislation that they wrote Cause you're a number in the game and you're another empty vote Okay with this machine And corporate disease The slaves to wages bound They make the world go round Alright with this red tape And public dead weight The ones you cannot trust They don't look out for us Each light inside a building represents a living person Clocking in and clocking out I said goodbye won't be returning Stumble up a flight of stairs I made it to the rooftop I won't plummet to the ground if you could promise you'd stop How is it accepted that we work a 9 to 5 When that and sleeping are 2/3rds of all the time that we're alive How are we complicit with the things we find explicit But we wouldn't move a finger change a system that's illicit We don't need clean water f*ck the air it stays polluted Crooked attorneys they recruited now the facts are so disputed 2 + 2 to make a 5 this been the world they want to live in Cruel administrative treason strips the rights that we were given No way to strike won't send the message when the militia comes Stocking these guns the flag's in flames inhaling the gas up in our lungs Send in the SWAT we ain't forgot strategical way to stir confusion Now the country's at a split it's left or right dissolve the union Those who have lost raise your fists say "aye" Those who were wronged but resist stand high No rules for the suits legislation that they wrote Cause you're a number in the game and you're another empty vote Okay with this machine And corporate disease The slaves to wages bound They make the world go round Alright with this red tape And public dead weight The ones you cannot trust They don't look out for us
