Are you ready,
Take a minute to prep,
Choose sides, who you gonna rep,
Makes no difference to me,
I know my side, I know where my heart lies,
Just know, be ready to ride if you don't respect mine,
Overwhelming how divided we've become,
Yet we need to be or else we'll never overcome,
Our opposition already has the upper hand,
Demand respect and remand their plan,
We need an uprise,
It's class warfare,
From the very top,
It's in the fuckin air,
It'n the food we eat,
Poison in EVERYTHING,
Chemicalized for the profits of the rich when we die,
From the cancer that they sell with a smile,
If we make it long enough before we wind up on trial,
Or with a bullet to the dome,
Seems to be how it goes,
In this country I'm embarrased to call my home
Chorus
I can't believe my eyes,
This world I find,
Is no longer mine,
All alone,
With nowhere to go,
I can't pretend,
This is not the end

Militarization of a free nation,
Might as well be Iraq with the heat the cops pack,
Protect and serve,
More like inslave and inprison,
Ain't my vision of Democracy,
It's Capitolism,
It's no longer "For the people, By the people, Of the people"
It's made by the corperations and they're evil,
Cause by nature they grow and gain,
Without regard for anything,
Human rights ain't good for marketing,
And since our lawmakers are owned by the money they spend,
Laws never get passed the money on the back end,
So who's to benefit,
It ain't the little guy,
You can be anything you want if you work,
That's just a fuckin lie,
Freedoms been compromised,
No need to testify,
Because a bullet in between the eyes,
Is one less that wants the prize,
Don't kid yourself, it ain't conspiracy,
It's reality,
It's something that you need to see
Chorus
V3
While you sit back and watch your mainstream news,
Do you even have a clue of how they mute the truth,
Pull the wool over your eyes,
Colored red white and blue,
While pharmaceutical ads pay for the lies you view,
Agendas pushed to the lower from the upper class,
Absorbed by people who scared of what they hear in mass,
Soakin up the toxins like a sponge,
Too high on poison for their body to expunge,
Misinformation,
Should be aggravation,
Time to wake up,
Alarm the whole nation,
Pardon me, I might seem impatient,
Cause I am and its time that we hit the pavement,
Forward march,
Stand up to the people that are holdin us back,
Help us make'em retract,
All we want is equality, or somethin near,
We shouldn't have to live in fear.
