I don't feel like being a member Of your social experiment You green-eyed capitalist Wastin' away doom-scrollin' online After you work your nine to five And take whatever gets you high In this world of manufactured perfect noise From the distractors with perfect poise Pushin' an endless line of new perfect toys I can't breathe Overwhelmed by the sea of possibilities Possibly unknowingly Sign away my life to companies Welcome to my identity Trackin' me intensively And breakin' my digital knees Just to fuckin' squeeze A few fuckin' pennies From my bank savings I been saving Since I was fuckin' thirteen But that don't mean a fuckin' thing When you got the fuckin' sleaze It ain't easy Knowing the cheese ain't just the bait But the whole trap too Turns from a nibble To a desperate chew And the rats at the top They know this all too well Lockin' up the cheddar Trynna make us a deal Say "An extra nibble for 8 hours on the hamster wheel" Just to be clear I'm not talkin' about rats I'm talkin' about the bastards Forcin' us to butcher their veal Isolated from the rest of humanity The one percent's greatest concern Is their vanity A flat out calamity Call it insanity I think we should finally Topple the canopy And bring the forest floor to justice And climb the trees Bring the forest floor to justice And fight these rich chimpanzees Again I'm talkin' allegorically No need to wad up Your satin silk panties The motherfuckers at the top Take it easy Forcing us to play the game In survival mode Around the board Payin' taxes, pinchin' pennies Til you make it back to GO And start again Rottin' our eyes and our minds With television crud Sellin' us pills and thrills That turn our brains to sludge Fillin' our shelves with Chemicals and dyes How do we survive with poison in our food supply I'm tired of nobody stoppin' Elite deviance What's that you ask Oh you don't know what it is It's when the Wall Street White collar one percent Bend the law in their Defense of innocence And it all works out Nine times out of ten Simply because the judge Is one of them And simply because they're Part of the ruling class Simply because they Accumulated so many assets Money gets you freedom The more you got The more you get You understand The more you make The more you take You understand The more you stack The more you slash You understand Then why the f*ck Are you still clappin' your hands Of course you're cheerin' them on Mr. Bossman You got your freedom wrapped up in it too Mr. Bossman Brainwashed from all the years Of wearin' shiny shoes Don't you worry about the cost man You fragile boss man Corporations exploitin' the cultures The suits are perched Like economic vultures Waiting to swoop down To collect their rewards For a job well done Supervising the labor force While the ones who work the hardest Get a little tiny drop In their little tiny buckets I love seein' the corporate Executives suck it When their workers finally have Enough and they all say "F*ck it" And take their dirty uniforms And finally chuck it At Mr. Bossman himself But he's quick to duck it Pass the blame On to somebody else Goes home for the day Big house by himself Some might feel sorry But I just think f*ck him The motherfuckers at the top Take it easy Forcing us to play the game In survival mode Around the board Payin' taxes, pinchin' pennies Til you make it back to GO And start again
