Every day they take away
A little piece of you, a little piece of me
The good things in life are free
No, they'll never take that away from me

People get up, get out of your cage
The ones that control you aren't turning the page
Boiling the water that's been poured on your brow
Is the same hot mess that we're swimming in now
And all of you racists, can say what you want
But soon they'll be coming for you with more than just guns
And I pray for the day when the power of love
Is stronger than the knife that cut us up

Every day they take away
A little piece of you, a little piece of me
The good things in life are free
No, they'll never take that away from me

Every day they take away
A little piece of you, a little piece of me
The good things in life are free
No, they'll never take that away from me

It's a march of the pigs, so righteous beware
They'll step on you here and they'll step on you there
The oldest of lie to ever been told
Put fear in the heart of a woman so bold
And after the ashes, after the blood
After the waters rise up from the flood
Who will you look for to place the blame
The media, the system, the ones with no name

It's the long (long) con (con)
Running (running), running (running)
It's the long (long) con (con)
Coming (coming), coming (coming)

Every day they take away
A little piece of you, a little piece of me
The good things in life are free
No, they'll never take that away from me

Every day they take away
A little piece of you, a little piece of me
The good things in life are free
No, they'll never take that away from me

One step forward, two steps back

Every day they take away
A little piece of you, a little piece of me
The good things in life are free
No, they'll never take that away from me

Every day they take away
A little piece of you, a little piece of me
The good things in life are free
No, they'll never take that away from me

One step forward, two steps back (two steps back)
One step forward, two steps back (two steps back)
One step forward, two steps back (two steps back)
One step forward, two steps back (two steps back)
