You speak to me on your podium built From surplus labor and blood you've spilt And claim I'm in debt to You Commodify our fucking health So you can add to your hoarded wealth And arbitrate what is True By funding news and leaders who say Anything that'll bring the cash their way So they demonize Dissent And peddle out hope in an opiate vial To appease the masses for a while While they hike the fares and Rent We undersell our labor so you will spare our lives So you can sell it back at a skyrocketed price That we're forced to agree to in order to survive And it won't be long before our current efforts won't suffice How can we hope for lasting change from those Driven by corruption and greed Who care to save only their sinister game From the flames it continues to feed The truth grows clearer day by day That the system's geared to drive your way And it's fueled by proletariat Lives But we'll never right these horrid wrongs By hopelessly playing along In this game that you've Contrived You've built a false dichotomy Equality versus liberty While both are stolen by your Excess As long as we are polarized Over which one to prioritize We're easy to Oppress We undersell our labor so you will spare our lives So you can sell it back at a skyrocketed price That we're forced to agree to in order to survive And it won't be long before our current efforts won't suffice How can we hope for lasting change from those Driven by corruption and greed Who care to save only their sinister game From the flames it continues to feed The world we know is crumbling Before our very eyes You've known for decades but only cared To see your profits maximized And you planned our obsolescence As you sucked our reservoirs dry But we see you now for what you are And no longer will we stand by Your claims of entitlement are valid no more Believe it or not, nobody needs to be poor We'll pry the means from your claws and show you how it's done Beneath the banner red as the rising sun We'll open up the floodgates and let the wealth flow To your exploitees who lay famished below, and Deliver unto you for the millions you have bled A sickle to the stomach and a hammer to the head Your days are numbered, Sour Bogie, this is true You'd better count your blessings while they last The more you try to push us down, the quicker you ensure A revolution mighty and fast But will it be fast enough To derail the coming doom When the oil well you've tapped caves in beneath us; Your greed will become our tomb How can we hope for lasting change from those Driven by corruption and greed Who care to save only their sinister game From the flames it continues to feed Tell me how can we hope for lasting change from those Driven by corruption and greed Who care to save only their sinister game From the flames it continues to feed
