[Verse 1]

Damn the machine the system's corrupted

Abusive power is everywhere

Our elected officials, pass laws to help

But who's paying them off?

And in the end, we the people pay

Such a heavy price, just for being alive

[Verse 2]

And if this country was really free

We'd make paper from hemp and let the forest live

But corporate America, and billion dollar industries

Have too much power

Yet they stand to lose

Too much fucking money

And there's nothing we can do... but...

[Chorus]

Take back all that we've lost

At any price that it costs

Our freedom was worth fighting for

Resistance now or nevermore

[Guitar Solo: James Murphy]

[Verse 3]

And what about the CIA?

What the fuck is their real job anyway?

Starting civil wars in Third World countries

Importing heroin from the far east

Talk about cocaine, neither kept away

From the youths of today... now

And there's nothing we can do... but...

[Chorus]

Take back all that we've lost

At any price that it costs

Our freedom was worth fighting for

Resistance now or nevermore
