We all like to point the finger at the faceless company
|
But the corporation machine consists of people like you and me
|
By existing in this society we all share the guilt
|
We're all responsible for the misery the multinationals have built
|
We all add to the list of victims the companies compile
|
By believing any of us are innocent we're living in denial
|
We are all a part of the problem no matter how hard we try
|
We help to create these conditions with everything we buy

The self-riteousness of judgement is something that no human being
|
has the luxury to pass. Every single one of us survive at the expense
|
of other living things. Although our very existence contradicts our
|
effects our struggle is still relevant in relieving the burdens that
|
we create, but our involvment is based on individual beliefs and
|
ambitions. Hope needs to be nurtured, compassion and understanding
|
will not grow out of scrutiny. Encouragement and tolerance is the
|
only way that activism will evolve from indifference.
|
(This was your life)
|
Conditioning is simple and you keep it that way
|
Ignorance is bliss when you stay stale and stagnant
|
Too old to care and too little to matter
|
Anarchy is now 9 to 5, wallet's a bit fatter
|
Once full of piss and vinegar now full of shit and dope
|
Freedom isn't easy I guess you couldn't cope
|
You gave into the pressure someone greased your hand
|
Just remain passive it's the safest place to stand
|
So to your feelings stay immune
|
And the bullshit they feed you, continue to consume
|
Consume
|
We've got ways of keeping you in line
|
Keeping you numb, dumb, and weak
|
Things to keep your mind off of us
|
So intimidated that you dare not speak
|
You fucking know that we police the street
|
We know who to watch, we know how to beat
|
We know what you do and where you go
|
We'll dress like you and go to your shows
|
To sell you the shit that destroys your brain
|
That you snort up your nose or shoot in your vein
|
We'll start a riot at your police brutality benefit
|
And keep it from spreading contain the threat
|
Until you destroy yoursevles, defeat yourselves,
|
Burn yourselves and kill yourselves
|
We'll put a McDonald's on every street
|
That's where you'll work, that's where you'll eat
|
For minimum wage, for student wage
|
For poverty and malnutrition
|
And we'll stock your grocery store shelves full of shit
|
And keep it open for a couple of years before we torch it
|
That's simply the way it's going to be so get used to it
|
Get used to it if you're going to take our shit
|
So don't try to protest or organize
|
Because we're too fucking strong, don't you realize
|
That we keep you fighting amongst yourselves, we keep you seperate
|
And without unity you'll be no threat
|
We keep pointing the finger at you and you
|
Never really knowing who turns the screw
|
And now you're trapped like a rat on a sinking ship
|
And it's sinking fast so get used to it
|
Get used to it you're going to take our shit
|
All you'll get is what we'll fucking let
|
Your college campus with your liberal views
|
An education or your head in a noose
|
And after you graduate where will you go
|
You'll have nowhere to live and nothing to show
|
Come put on a suit and come work for us
|
You'll become everything you hate and all you disgust
|
You'll forget who you were, what you did, and what you stood for
|
You'll be trapped in your office
|
You'll be trapped in traffic
|
You'll be trapped in your home
|
You'll be trapped in your church
|
You'll be trapped in your mind
|
Trapped like rats on the same sinking ship
|
Trapped again and getting used to it
|
And when you grow old with your husband or with your wife
|
You'll be used to it, you'll be used to it
|
And to think that your whole fucking life
|
You took our shit
|
Capitalism is responsible for the lifestyle you've enjoyed
|
Who cares about the people slain be thankful you're employed
|
It's not about comsumer choice, it's not about convenience
|
It's not about the billions made, it's all about indifference
|
So lay your trust upon us it's your quality of life we'll enhance
|
Realize the benefits and the fact that without us you don't stand a chance
|
We've built dependence upon a structure that you have to trust
|
So if you try to destory our system we're going to take you with us
|
The public relations industry studies our every move
|
Constantly advising corporations how they can improve
|
Their profits, their monopolies, their uncompromising growth
|
And how to beed the consumer for everything they're worth
|
Their wealth exists off of our labor and our willingness to consume
|
Manipulated by every medium the public just assume
|
That their innocent, unbiased forums exist solely to entertain
|
While the industries we work for are just out to reclaim
|
The wages they've paid us to produce the markets demands
|
Every cent we've ever earned makes it back into their hands
|
Enhancing their wealth, enhancing their claim, achieving their domination
|
Maintaining their power, maintaining their reign, they're gaining from exploitaton
|
Sacrificing humanity for the good of industry
|
Is the fault the result of them or our own stupidity
|
Do they possess that much influence over everything we do
|
Are the consequences of our actions ever really thought through
|
Do we truly understand how one person can make a difference
|
By developing individual thought free from outside interference
|
Our own struggle for survival comples us to drop it
|
Should our compassion be cashed in for profit
|
When you are the victim of your government's attack
|
It should only be natural to want to fight back
|
But when they've relentlessly progammed you your entire existence
|
We tried to make a difference but what have we actually achieved
|
Have we put up any obstacles or just helped them to succeed
|
Have we constructed any bridges or just built another wall
|
Have our beliefs and our ideals accomplished anything at all
|
Have we ever caused our leaders to change a single thing
|
Have we ever been a threat or just puppets on a string
|
Have we wasted all of our time painting pictures for the blind
|
While we've created isolation have we changed a single mind
|
Have we had enought sense to learn from our mistakes
|
Are we prepared for personal sacrifices no matter what it takes
|
Are we willing to work together putting differences aside
|
Or is compormise too much to rish damaging our pride
|
Do we have enough hope to still find trust in someone else
|
Do we have the compassion to fight the problems that don't directly affect ourselves
|
Have we ever stood a chance or have our efforts been naive
|
Have we bought into their lies of what they tell us to believe
|
It still is your option what path to choose
|
Don't let the only change yo make be in your views
|
Like if you can't fight everything why bother to try
|
You can learn from the hypocracies you used to deny
|
Is it all a charade or do you actually mean it
|
Do your ideals only surface when it's politically convenient
|
You're stuck in society's trap and although you're tryin to cope
|
If you can't change yourself, you'll lose more than just hope
|
So the next time you're down on your knees just remember
|
The plight of the oppressed ends with the oppressor
|
And if it's easier for you to live under that oppression
|
They they've already got you as their possession
