The rocket sellers and rockefellers are blacking out their pasts
While the power hungry president is snacking on their backs
They’re running two separate campaigns
You’ll either vote for one or two
Playing good cop, bad cop, like the masters always do
The republicans are drunk again and planning out their stay
Throwing bombs around the planet, taking people’s lives away
They say they got a long term plan to make lovely stable nations
But it comes through world bank debt loan scams and bloody occupations
The democrats were voting for whatever Bush desired
When the buildings fell and shattered in a thousand bloody fires
There was talk of war and profit and the thrill of greater mights
So they threw in votes like rifles, stepping foot into the fight
Now they’re making scams to win the votes of populations
Trying to deny their role in overthrowing sovereign nations
I would’ve voted no if I had known what I know now
Yeah, tricking folks is easy, and you know that they know how
So why the bother voting if your vote just goes to them?
The invisible hand of the empire in the voting booth again
Why place trust in government when all they do is lie to you?
Well, you say that you’re for justice, right, it’s justice they deny to you
So stand up like you mean it
Sacrifice some time and space
Raise your arms up like arms
My friends, this is the time and place
Well, the future is the product of the actions of today
Well, it’s you and I together, comrade, that’s the only way
Well, they close your schools, your factories
Your labor bought and sold
They close the rehab shelters, leaving people in the cold
There’s no room for you here unless you fit the protocol
Yeah, but if we push them hard enough they’ll fall
Well, they fence off your communities
Put prisons in your homes
Fence the many from the few
While the hungry die alone
It seems like such an uphill battle
Like we’re pushed against the wall
Yeah, but if we push them hard enough they’ll fall
Well, their power is an illusion of {?}
A billion broken promises, poverty and more
Well, their wealth may seem abundant but their numbers are so small
And if we push them hard enough they’ll fall
So you can call it natural or you can call it fate
But warfare, wealth and poverty are products of the state
And if you want the sh#t to change we gotta build it with each other
For we hold the truest justice in our love for one another
