The system they built seems to work against us
Institution with a purpose to serve and protect the elite drag us down
Just to survive, swallow your pride, that's what they want
Shackled in chains of possessions be silent don't stand up and fight
Cooperate in your own oppression
And those who resist brought up to "fair" justice trial
Good citizen live by the powerful rule of denial
The suburbs and neighborhoods slumber the "American dream", while poor dying in ghettos
Brutality is their everyday scene
Is this what we'll get
The white middle class surrounded by shopping malls
Consuming society buried their heads in the holes that governments digging for them
Drag us down
Drag us
Down
