[Verse 1]
Awaken, arise from your slumber
It’s time to discover what lies under the lies they try to cover
Have you ever wondered just what goes on behind closed doors?
And how the government plays with human lives with no remorse?
Plotting against the people, working in secrecy
The greatest myth is all men are created equally
Ever wonder why some are rich and somе are dirt poor?
Think it’s ‘cause some arе lazy and some like to work more?
That’s partly true but what you need to realize…
Some of the wealthiest people never worked a day in their lives
It’s called inheritance, misplaced arrogance
Look at our president, such an embarrassment
You call ‘em politicians, I call ‘em vampires
Turn on the television, nothing but damn liars
The Congress and the Senate get paid to lie to me
Three branches of government hanging from a dying tree
They say that Halloween is the day of the dead
But Columbus Day’s a funeral with coffins made of arrowheads
Our country was built on murdering and pillaging
And it’s the same now, money is still the king
Let freedom ring ’til it infringes on the rich
‘cause Lady Liberty’s a materialistic bitch
And she won’t stop ’til the people divide and conquer
Until we stand up and unite to fight the monster
[Chorus]
It’s all the same now
There’s nothing we can do
They try to help themselves with no regard for me and you
They built the system in a way where there’s no point in fighting back
Drain the love, filled with hate ’til their heart’s black
Control across the board without a compromise
Just a badge and a gun and a lot of lies
Where injustice dwells, they wanna break us down
They try to break us down
They wanna break us down

It’s all the same now
There’s nothing we can do
They try to help themselves with no regard for me and you
They built the system in a way where there’s no point in fighting back
Drain the love, filled with hate ’til their heart’s black
Control across the board without a compromise
Just a badge and a gun and a lot of lies
Where injustice dwells, they wanna break us down
They try to break us down
They wanna break us down

[Verse 2]
They can’t be trusted
Make no assumption
They’ll take and take until you’re left with absolutely nothing
They’re stealing money from your check every time that you punch in
That’s not enough
They’ll tax you every time you purchase something
It’s like a slap in the face to the average citizen
Soon as you stack a little cash, here comes the rent again
And it’s way overpriced, it’s all a giant advertisement
It’s not surprising
It’s a plan they’ve been devising
There’s no one you can trust inside your television set
The news is nothing but puppets and marionettes controlled by an upper hand
It’s time you understand
What they’re feeding you is eating through your brain, my man
You wanna talk about politics
Talk about full of shit
Empty inside, the definition of what hollow is
Follow this train of thought
They tend to claim a lot
And people believe it’s the truth whether there’s proof or not
Some food for thought but they choose to ingest lies
The government keeps spending and lets the debt rise to astronomical heights until there’s nothing left for us
The economic structure weakens ’til it crumbles into dust
It was never built upon a solid foundation
In many cases they portray us as a proud nation
But there are times when I’m ashamed of what we’ve become
The way the country is run
Never thought I’d feel so numb
The injustice takes its toll upon your soul
It’s gotten old
Bought and sold
Thought control often molds people’s perception to breed greed and hate and send it off in your direction
And now this way of thinking’s spreading to our economics
And I for one don’t think it’s right to be perfectly honest
So when they promise to make America great again
Don’t hold your breath ’til they start charging us for oxygen
[Chorus]
It’s all the same now
There’s nothing we can do
They try to help themselves with no regard for me and you
They built the system in a way where there’s no point in fighting back
Drain the love, filled with hate ’til their heart’s black
Control across the board without a compromise
Just a badge and a gun and a lot of lies
Where injustice dwells, they wanna break us down
They try to break us down
They wanna break us down
