Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer
War and slavery Exploitation The common basis of a Western nation Official version A falsified story The truth lies burried in a shroud of glory Influential people arn't serving time for being involved in organized crime But stashed away in beautiful mansions Guess who provides for their generous pensions? Oppression Ignorance Censorship rule Education is more that what's taught in school Forced in a mold Held down by threats Decisions are made over our heads But there is a way to refuse and resist We don't need to be ruled with the iron fist We are the people We are strong Let's make up our minds and prove 'em wrong Religion and TV We're under the thumb Prone to believe 'cause we're already numb! Black man White man Yellow man Black man White man Rip the system
