We're all victims of the system, still we love to place the blame,
|
We're running out of choices and there's no rules to the game.
|
I'm getting tired of feeling this way,
|
What can a single man do? what can he say?
|
Every day you walk the edge of a knife,
|
You're left with nothing at the end of your life.
|
They've got their hands in your pocket,
|
They'll take the clothes off your back......they'll stop you like a heart attack.
|
We put people into power but we fight our wars alone,
|
They take such good care of the rest of the world,
|
But, what about the folks?
|
At home, oh yeah! point the finger at the man you chose,
|
He'll say he's sorry, but it's just the way it goes.
|
He sits in judgement like a king on a throne,
|
'till that november when he'll beg for a bone......brother, don't ignore the facts...!
