Who decided that we have to work? Climb the corporate ladder, kissing up to jerks Spending all your time on the daily grind Leaves no time to unwind Punching the clock to get paid in dimes A system of control, read between the lines Keep us all busy, keep us tired and dependent Send a portion of your paycheck to the government Have a little more patience now, they say things will turn around Gotta find the right career, and then my life will be in the clear And then bitch slap! Back to reality, your educated job pays shit for a salary Your family is hungry, are you bringing home the bacon? You're working all the hours, where's the money that you're making? And what's in store for the poor, who can't afford anything anymore Poverty passed down to our youth, a corrupt system allergic to truth Oppression and division got so many by the throat But we're actually in the same boat You're not gonna catch us, we're too far in the lead 'Cause we know that passion's all we need to succeed And we're done with your rat race, we're driving way off the track Our destination will trail blaze, and we're never coming back We're a new generation, every color and creed Every orientation, or what you choose to believe And we'll see through your system, through the blanket of lies And we'll all stand united, and a new guard will rise Money, tell me why we gotta use it? When so many people don't have it or abuse it A finance system hijacked by the rich Making the middle class their bitch Poverty and debt have so many in chains While the 1% get tax breaks, it's insane The men behind the curtain have been screwing us all And I, for one, won't take the fall I hope the people start to change, priorities rearrange Beware the ticking clock, gotta think outside the box All our time spent working in fear, barely getting by with a future unclear We're wasting all our energy on work with no passion, too afraid of what might happen I think it's really unfair, that people everywhere Live in horrible despair, while those in power laugh and stare Snickering with their clubhouse buddies Proud of how they played all the people like dummies But we can shut them up if we all unite And fill the fraudulent fuckers with fright You're not gonna catch us, we're too far in the lead 'Cause we know that passion's all we need to succeed And we're done with your rat race, we're driving way off the track Our destination will trail blaze, and we're never coming back We're a new generation, every color and creed Every orientation, or what you choose to believe And we'll see through your system, through the blanket of lies And we'll all stand united, and a new guard will rise
