lyrics

Subjugate the population with these garbage wars and in-fighting while they take away the rights of YOU
Keep the disenfranchised and those without a voice enslaved, the illusion of choice. This how they lie to YOU
It’s a story as old as time. Borders are meaningless. Tower of Babylon.
Separate us by language or echelon
Treat people like firewood or automatons

Now it’s time to for us to take care of one another universal housing, college and health for YOU
Financial war against the poor, student debt and frivolous fines taking cash away from YOU
It’s a story as old as time. Kings versus peasants. Bad King John
Riot police busting heads with batons
Political parties, fiefdoms or mafia dons

We live in a digital world where direct democracy should be the future for us TOO
Can we trust the population to be informed with so much propaganda directed right at YOU
It’s a story as old as time. History written by the victors, or the loudest one
Media’s brainwashing evangelist pawns
We’re no exception, whose voice will you decide on

Chorus
Alright now, my brother
Gather ‘round, support one another
Let’s go, my sister
More shouting and less whispers
A maelstrom of mayhem
There’s more of us then there are of them
Reconfigure, this apparatus
It’s time to shift our status
