Slaves to a nation's systemic impoverishment
Corporate dragons on mountains of gold
Tried to convince me I'm privileged by labor
But what will I do about work when I'm old
God what will I do
Work nine days straight or a month or two
Society tells me to work for my bread
But if I keep it up they'll be finding me dead
People telling me I'm crazy
Though I'm broken, I can't move, they say I'm just lazy
But still they all try to convince me to say
That I'm lucky to live in the U. S. of A
Am I falling for it again
Am I falling for it again
Paying me pennies to suffer the torment
That's brought down upon me by sub-human creatures
Witnessing bigotry unknown to many
Save those who are marked for the wrath of their preachers
Still they try to make me say
Mr. Walton and Bezos are saving the day
But in looking around you can see that's not true
Man, our neighbors are starving but what can we do
They'll continue our enslavement
Knock us down grind our face on the pavement
Spit on us say we're a trouble-maker
And breaking our spirit was some kind of favor
But we could start a revolution
If words won't work we'll use machine guns
Take what was built from our blood, sweat, and tears
And then build a new world for ourselves and our peers
But you know it's down to us now
Cause they will take advantage somehow
Do what they can to keep people submissive
And force us to praise them for letting us live
Am I falling for it again
Am I falling for it again
Am I falling for it again
Your brainwashing won't work on me
I'm resilient and desperate to keep myself free
Am I falling for it again
I refuse to lay down
Will not let you walk on me push me around
Am I falling for it again
Won't take your shit
Won't let you drag me back to that mental abyss
Am I falling for it again
I refuse to be part of your schemes
My very soul screams in protest as I walk into this hell
Somebody tell me if it's worth it 'cause it's making me fall deathly ill
My skin it crawls, my eyes they burn, from the horrors that I've witnessed
Strapped down, trod on, beaten, hope gone, taught to loathe my own existence
