Fight
Get the peasants to unite
World wide do or die
Put your bullshit to the side just one time

They're the reason we aint acting right
Distracted and held captive while we're pacified

Neutralized as threats
By having us at each others necks
Never stop to check just how blessed we would be
If we were free of the festering disease
From the powers that be towering over you and me

Pulling your strings and now it seems
That you're fighting over the pettiest things
Let me tell you what for
They want war between you and I
Should be killing the ventriloquist
The puppet masters must die

If we're ever to have peace in the least we must slay the beast
Enslaving you and me its lunacy im dutifully here
To ruin things beautifully before I die
I know why the caged bird screams at the sky

Demons on high bleeding you dry
Feeding on our hearts and minds
While their media leading us all to meaningless lives
They got the means to divide so stay confined
play their games and they'll rearrange your brains

Pain
no exceptions til you all act the same
Peasants in a frame of reference to obey
Indifference and hate how much more can we take
Its never too late to change your fate you gotta

Fight
Get the peasants to unite
World wide do or die
Put your bullshit to the side just one time

They're the reason we aint acting right
Distracted and held captive while we're pacified

Neutralized as threats
By having us at each others necks
Never stop to check just how blessed we would be
If we were free of the festering disease
From the powers that be towering over you and me

Let my people be humanity
Planet earth equally
We just wanna be free
But we probably gotta do the deed
Gotta learn to proceed simultaneously indeed

It's time to remove the evil seed from the garden
to feed your family regardless of the insanity
Pushed upon us dishonest to make us sick
And bomb us I promise this isn't over with

It never gets better just worse
So they're clever with words
We can never converse
So ill nurture the urge to purge this scourge from our planet
and chase out the darkness with light
To be precise you gotta

Fight
Get the peasants to unite
World wide do or die
Put your bullshit to the side just one time

They're the reason we ain't acting right
Distracted and held captive while we're pacified

Neutralized as threats
By having us at each others necks
Never stop to check just how blessed we would be
If we were free of the festering disease
From the powers that be towering over you and me

I know why the caged bird screams
I know why the caged bird screams
I know why the caged bird screams
