Apathetic notions of the world of politics surround me

Elitist versions of equality are implanted in my head

Carrot hung before the populace

The shining promises of opportunity

Oh, but for me, the son of a poor man

The luster fades away

And as the truth washes over me, like some unholy religion

I look on, in stunned silence, at the mess that we’re now in

Realization, it hits me like a brick, and shatters my indifference

But faith alone won’t help to stem the tide

So though it’s over, my wits stay sober, even as the waves come crashing down

I scream into the night, I’m still alive

Survival in our beloved country, it thrives on subjugation

In order for one man to succeed, he’ll drag a million down

Most of us exploited by the rich

Do not realize we’ve put the yoke on our own necks

Oh we are told our lives are worth a certain wage

And we don’t question it at all

And as the truth washes over me, like some unholy religion

I look on, in stunned silence, at the mess that we’re now in

Realization, it hits me like a brick, and shatters my indifference

But faith alone won’t help to stem the tide

So though it’s over, my wits stay sober, even as the waves come crashing down

I scream into the night, I’m still alive

Come on!

And as the truth washes over me, like some unholy religion

I look on, in stunned silence, at the mess that we’re now in

Realization, it hits me like a brick, and shatters my indifference

But faith alone won’t help to stem the tide

So though it’s over, my wits stay sober, even as the waves come crashing down

I scream into the night, I’m still alive

So though it’s over, my wits stay sober, even as the waves come crashing down

Scream into the night, I’m still a...live

Alive
