People are not afraid to kick you around like a soccer ball if they see it fit
These people will stop at nothing to make you feel like nothing
Like the most trifling triviality to ever have existed

We live in a society
Reside under powers that be
They preside over you and me
By design we're never quite free
And since you have no right to leave
You should get down on your knees
And use your mouth, tongue and cheeks
To please the powers that be

Man, you know much we've sank
And that the economy's tanked
When you must break the bank
Just to fill up the tank
Now I'm at the pump, like "gee thanks"
Wow, being alive fucking stanks
I hope that homeless guy across the street stabs me with a shank
Cause living costs too much money
Man this shit's not even funny
At least nobody is laughing
Except perhaps Jimmy Fallon
Seven dollars a gallon is far outside of my balance
And long gone are the days you could cop a house for ten thousand
We're all slaves to the system in this cruel place we inhabit
It's so ingrained in our thinking we can't break out of these habits
We're not getting paid worth a damn while we're out here busting our asses
We're getting played like some instruments, no mayonnaise or horseradish
(And that's word to Patrick)

We live in a society
Reside under powers that be
They preside over you and me
By design we're never quite free
And since you have no right to leave
You should get down on your knees
And use your mouth, tongue and cheeks
To please the powers that be

There's an exhibition of atrocities going on at all times
That I almost find it astonishing we're going on with our lives
My debit card got declined
On a downward spiral decline
It's no surprise these junkies shoot up and get high on white lines
As a matter of fact I don't know why I bother writing these lines
My rhymes prolly won't do shit but make me feel kind of fine
Cause we're disposable they buy a dozen of us a dime
And I haven't done my time until the day I finally die
Cause in this status quo
It's all about status, ho
And while some indulge in extravagance
The vast bulk of the masses are stuck battling one another in traffic
It's as if every last thing we have is a product of trafficking
Swear we're not far from fascism
The classism is rampant in this backwards trash hole we live in
Where assholes are winning
Where sad souls get devoured whole by a black hole of indifference
Where rats are all in it to back their own interests
Where activism feels inadequate no matter the passion within it
Cause tragic happenings pass without having much of a difference
So to impact the establishment I'm exacting my vengeance
I'd love to watch this shit unravel, bitch I'm not fucking with it
Why can't we just be compassionate just for one fucking minute?

We live in a society
Reside under powers that be
They preside over you and me
By design we're never quite free
And since you have no right to leave
You should get down on your knees
And use your mouth, tongue and cheeks
To please the powers that be

And somewhere down the road we lost control
Better yet we chose to let it go
I won't take shit from oppressors better let em know
But I've got nowhere else to go

Can't do this, don't do that
Gotta do this and you have to do that
Can't say shit or the whip might crack
Can't have shit in this world it's wack
Can't stay here
Wait, don't go there
Where's the door?
Well it's not there
Don't care for this fucked up state of affairs?
Boohoo, suck it up, life ain't fair
And while you're going downstairs on the man upstairs
Why don't you lick his pubic hair?
Yeah, that's it, right there, that's it, they just don't care

(And you can't say no)
We live in a society
Reside under powers that be
They preside over you and me
By design we're never quite free
(To the fellatio)
And since you have no right to leave
You should get down on your knees
And use your mouth, tongue and cheeks
To please the powers that be

(That's just the way it goes)
We live in a society
Reside under powers that be
They preside over you and me
By design we're never quite free
(Better swallow it all)
And since you have no right to leave
You must get on your hands and knees
Then spread apart your butt cheeks
And get fucked by the powers that be

How are we to defend ourselves against such blows?
