lyrics

Beware!
This is a very fucked up state of affairs,
It’s got us all splitting hairs and forsaking our humanity.
Sanity is at its boiling point watching calamity after calamity.
You can blame the GOP but truth is it’s our apathy.
It’s the sheep that give the wolves their power.
So why do we cower behind the bars that are stripped from our gilded cages to pay for the senseless wars our government wages.
This should enrage us, yet most of us are still mostly asleep, or distracted reading the funny pages.
And when I say funny I mean CNN and Fox news and I refuse to let it go on any longer.
We all need to be stronger.
It is time to wake up and take AIM at the capitalist masters that are causing us shame.
It’s time to place blame on all those right-wing bible beaters, economy bleeders, and power hungry world leaders who are blocking our progress.
That’s why when they say more god I say godless.
They got this shit in such a mess I must confess that my whole life is lived in mental duress.
But I press on making a slavery wage, filling with rage; it’s the reason I’ve become this asshole on stage.
It’s time to engage in a new way of thinking.
Time to stop forcing down the kool-aid they got us all drinking.
It is time to wake up and take action.
We need to look past all the superficial distractions and behind the crooked closed doors.
We need to rise up and mobilize when backed in to these domestic class wars.
Too big to fail is too big to play.
Drag them out of DC kicking and screaming and end the decay of the humanitarian way!
It is not too late to stand up and say the game of the elite is killing us all.
And under their rule, this nation will fall. It is up to the people to tear down the walls and declare to the world that greed is not a virtue.
There are much more honorable goals to pursue.
We need to bridge the social gaps that turn fear into hate; we need to make sure all children have food on their plates.
It is a message of love we need to disseminate.
This is a movement not just a meme.
It is the death and rebirth of the American dream!
