How much do you pay for product

Do you know what you pay for hype

How long will that purchase matter

When that "push" falls from your sight

If they sugar coat the poison

It will kill you quite the same

Tune in as consumers

And anesthetize our brains

We're too dumb to figure out

That we all play the game

And we're to blame

Do we know what's fact or fiction

Do you really trust the news

How much truth gets filtered out

Before it gets to you

They're diverting your attention

From the problems here at home

They sweep the homeless under the rug

In our ghettos we disown

Out of sight out of mind

It's a method we condone

Reap what we've sown

People fight for equality

For their gender and their race

They seek to blame each other

For the hardships that they face

But when twenty percent of the country

Owns eighty percent of its wealth

It limits your opportunities

To playing the hand that you're dealt

Because money is what divides us

More than color or creed

The middle class, the poor

And rich minority

And they tear down homeless shelters

To erect big strip mall chains

The gap between the rich and poor

Gets wider every day

It doesn't matter what they say to you

We're never gonna be the same

It doesn't matter what they say to you

We're never gonna be the same

It doesn't matter what they say to you

We're never gonna be the same

It doesn't matter what they say to you

We're never gonna be the same
