There's a time to sit back idle
But the time is not right now
We're dead, we're dead, we're all as good as dead
In the tide of social apathy
Hold your brothers close right now
We're dead, we're dead, we're all as good as dead

We've gotta beat the system
We've gotta take it all
Break the chains of discontentment 
Before we all fall

We try, we try the best that we can, but we never get ahead
Oppression, oppression, oppression
We are, we are the working class
But we never get a chance
Oppression, oppression, oppression
