lyrics

They dammed the fish now we’re damned ourselves
They’ve built a market that’s got freedom for sale
And it’s powered by slave labor and prison cells
Oh the earth is getting hotter but it’s already felt like hell
we need our rivers back to the sea
and We need to fight this corporate machine
that in the name of profit has been killing everything 
We need a resistance of you’s and me’s 
cause we’ve been at war that’s for goddamn sure
and We’re not gonna save ourselves
with a government issued voucher
Cause business is good,yeah it’s great
And long ago wealthy fascists bought out the state
I’m tired of turning their wrenches and being fucking lied to
I’m tired of making products that I can’t even use
All for a dollar or a handful of bucks
Trading away my time and health for some rich fuck
i’ve spent my whole life working for money I’ve already spent
And if property is robbery then so is fucking rent
They’re treating people like some cheap resource 
If you don’t submit to it they’ll use the police force

we’re worked we’re buried in collars and cuffs
and i’m starting to feel like there’s a joke being played on us

so raise us out of poverty
what a fucking joke
That’s gonna take a whole
hell of a lot of rope
Cause This economic system
thrives on poor folks
they’re making up excuses
to keep our wages low


For every gigatonne
of greenhouse gas
that they release 
And every bomb
dropped in the Middle East
For every racist cop
who ends another life
And every hungry family
without food tonight
we’re all fighting
on different fronts
So grab a pen or grab a gun

When did welfare become such a slur
And why are we blaming women of color
While corporate trash is being subsidized
With our tax dollars to lower a market price
they fucked the air and they fucked the water 
They’ve turned our food into plastic and slaughter
making us choose between two big brothers
but patriarchy is just another abusive fucking father
And the privilege they give to us is self defense
It’s simple chess,it’s common sense
The middle class is just a buffer zone
And the United States is the next empire of Rome
