its how we were raised
to be dependent
in a country
where no one is independent
the poor feed the rich
and the rich start the war
police put subjects in jail
when they dare to ask for more
they'll show you what you need
show you the life to lead
you'd better get to work you've got mouths to feed
high costs of education and housing
will keep you as their pawn
the police shot down protesters
to keep us all in line
keep us in the lives we're given
keep their wealthy bellies full
racism and homophobia
taught in the name of love
to give us someone else to hate
instead of rising above
